Our take
Founded in 1991 and growing every day - recently hitting $1B revenue - OpenText offers software applications that manage content or unstructured data for enterprises, such as large companies, government agencies or professional service firms.
The Canadian-based company continues to add to its suite of products and portfolio of acquisitions, expanding its offerings and, in doing so, its market reach.
