Chicago, October 29, 2008 – Open Text™ Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in enterprise content management (ECM), today unveiled a major new release of its Web Solutions that give enterprises powerful new capabilities to rapidly deploy intranets, extranets and Enterprise 2.0 solutions and meet the expanded demands of new digital strategies. The new release delivers a complete set of Web 2.0 tools tightly integrated to give customers far greater security and control over social media than possible with a set of point solutions.

In today’s information-driven economy, organizations need to be able to move swiftly to take advantage of opportunities and they need to see rapid return on investment from Web applications.  Open Text Web Solutions, with its legendary RedDot technology, lets customers manage globally accessible public Web sites in concert with internal Web initiatives from a single comprehensive solution. It ensures a dynamic and engaging user experience by integrating, managing and optimizing content.  It further more provides seamless access to information across a variety of existing applications and repositories, including SAP, Microsoft SharePoint, as well as all Open Text content repositories, databases, file systems, and Web 2.0 applications. Content can be managed, translated and distributed across dozens of countries and sites globally.

“The need for a comprehensive, easy-to-use, fast-to-deploy Web solutions platform is greater than ever as enterprises depend more and more on the Web to drive marketing, customer and partner communications, and employee collaboration,” said Daniel Kraft, SVP Corporate Strategy. “By proving the entire range of requirements in one Web Solutions suite, we are giving enterprises what they need to take full advantage of everything the Web has to offer, and do it with fewer resources both at implementation and over the long term.”

Making Web 2.0 Safe
While many Web 2.0 and social media tools such as blogs, wikis or RSS have moved into the enterprise, most deployments have been smaller scale at the departmental or workgroup level. There are several factors at work behind this limited embrace, including newness of the technology, the need to work with numerous different vendors, and risk of exposing confidential corporate information inappropriately.

Open Text Web Solutions provides the foundation for strategic, larger-scale deployment of Web 2.0 solutions.  It offers a fully integrated set of capabilities, eliminating the need for point solutions while offering complete Web 2.0 functionality.

As employees experience social sites like Facebook or Wikipedia, they expect a similar experience in the workplace. They want personal, relevant information and open sharing with peers. However, many enterprises are reluctant to make strategic moves to 2.0 technologies due to legal, privacy and compliance concerns. In an industry first, the Open Text Web Solutions can intelligently monitor content posted to internal and external wikis and blogs and automatically notify moderators and site managers of content to adhere to industry and company policies.

“For many enterprises, Web 2.0 has remained locked in the experimental phase as IT and line of business managers try to figure out how to use these emerging tools effectively,” said Larry Cannell, analyst for Burton Group Collaboration and Content Strategies. “As more integrated suites with greater safeguards arrive on the market, we will start to see enterprises shift to more strategic use of Web 2.0 technologies.”

Open Text Web Solutions: Tools for Success
Open Text Web Solutions, whether for the Web, intranets or extranets, includes a set of services designed to ensure immediate, lasting success. These core capabilities include:

- Experience Services – From custom portals to role-based applications, deliver content to any target, channel, device or audience with context and personalization at its heart

- Interactive Services – Building and managing massive Web sites can be a daunting task. Open Text Web Solutions leverage tools to create, manage, localize and design a Web experience with superior ease of use and to deploy safe Web 2.0 applications for social interaction with security rights and compliance.

- Optimization Services – Continuous improvement is vital to the success of Web initiatives. Customers can gain insights from analytics dashboards and search engine optimization to offer streamlined processes to publish content from anywhere to anywhere.

- Library Services -- Basic content services for document collaboration let enterprises leverage existing libraries and repositories, including Microsoft SharePoint and SAP.

The new release of Open Text’s Web Solutions, based on the CMS and LiveServer products, is available now with more solutions and additional features scheduled for delivery later this year.  For more information, go to www.opentext.com/web-solutions.

Open Text™ Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), today announced enhancements to its portfolio of Enterprise 2.0 solutions, including a powerful offering that lets customers manage compliance rules for social computing capabilities, such as blogs, wikis and forums on websites, and a set of collaboration tools for more dynamic employee interaction within the enterprise.  The solutions further Open Text’s Enterprise 2.0 strategy unveiled in March.

Open Text is creating Enterprise 2.0 solutions that let customers offer an innovative, interactive and compelling experience on the Web and in their existing content ecosystems, including content originating in SAP, Oracle or Microsoft Office. The solutions are aimed at combining content governance with content productivity considerations so that customers can adopt a more comprehensive Enterprise 2.0 strategy. Enhancements and new capabilities include:

Fully Integrated Social Networking: Deeper levels of meta-data handling to enrich the user experience. This includes richer handling for dynamic content, with particular emphasis on deeper descriptive data for people and processes as well. It also includes blending the best of both top-down taxonomies with bottom-up tags.

Leverage Core Content in a 2.0 World: The ability to leverage all content sources in an organization for social networking. Core content of an organization in virtually any repository, such as SAP, Microsoft SharePoint, and Open Text’s Livelink ECM or eDocs, can now be delivered and personalized in the context of social networks.

Security and Personalization for 2.0 Content:  Persona-driven Web access tailored to respective information requirements. Thanks to a fully integrated 2.0 concept, personalization can be applied to user-generated content. This allows the usage of social networking capabilities in the context of the business -- customer care, sales or services -- incorporating metadata such as language, regions, hierarchies, occupational groups, departments and interests, so that knowledge can be assigned and accessed accordingly.

Compliance and Validation Services:  Expanded Web compliance capabilities, which let customers apply regulatory or legal rules to user-generated content in social computing applications.  No longer is Web compliance only relegated to the accessibility validation of a Web page. integrated compliance capabilities should work with the company’s blogs, wikis and other Web 2.0 modules to give customers the option to apply an automatic regulatory and legal check point before content goes live on the Web.  The solution lets customers set rules that address industry-specific or corporate policies, as well as discovery, copyright and data protection issues.

Extended Collaboration to be Released Later this Month.  Open Text’s Extended Collaboration solution, set for release later this month, provides a powerful work environment where employees can easily circulate ideas, experiences and knowledge in real-time. The solution combines a robust knowledge repository with project workspaces, polls, news channels, tasks and milestones. A set of community applications brings specialized, enterprise-ready tools, including real-time collaboration or newsletter views, FAQs, and event calendars to promote shared expertise and best practices. Community content can also be managed according to compliance, records retention and legal rules since the solution is integrated with Open Text’s powerful records management and archiving capabilities.  Open Text has already seen strong interest in the solution from Livelink ECM customers since first unveiling the solution back in March.

“For organizations, regulatory and legal concerns are still the biggest barriers to wider Enterprise 2.0 adoption,” said Daniel Kraft, President of the Open Text Web Solutions Group.  “To help companies get beyond the fear, we have to provide the tools that address the business realities of compliance, yet still provide dynamic, Enterprise 2.0 capabilities. The integration of real time compliance management offers the support for risk mitigation with our full suite of Enterprise 2.0 applications, something companies can’t find from other vendors.”

Waterloo, Ontario - 2008-03-27 - Open Text™ Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in enterprise content management (ECM), today announced a partnership with the University of Waterloo to create one of the world’s largest centres dedicated to research and innovation in digital media and Web 2.0 for business, government and cultural applications.

Under the plan, Open Text will contribute funding, technology and services for the development of the Open Text Centre for Digital Media Research. As part of its commitment, Open Text will provide its executives and thought leaders as contributing faculty, sharing their experience in the classroom. The Centre will be dedicated to research projects and commercialization of ground-breaking software applications, giving students an opportunity to apply their ideas to real-world business opportunities. Programs at the Centre will focus on creating graduates that combine business knowledge, with computer science and artistic content creation.

The Centre will be part of graduate and undergraduate programs offered at the University’s Stratford Institute, a proposed new centre for education and research to be located in Stratford, Ontario, a well-known art, music and theatre community. The location provides a unique setting that will bring the worlds of business, art and the Internet together in an environment focused on creating innovative new software applications.

“From Facebook to YouTube to Wikipedia, we are witnessing a revolution in the way consumers socialize, share knowledge and harness collective intelligence,” said Tom Jenkins, Executive Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer for Open Text. “But we’ve only just begun. There’s enormous potential to build on what’s been created so far, and apply these new technologies to business, government and culture in new and exciting ways. Through our partnership with the University of Waterloo, we’re planting the seeds of that innovation right here in the Waterloo Region.”

Jenkins adds, “The Open Text Centre will combine the experience and knowledge of academic and business leaders with the energy and creativity of a new generation. It gives Open Text a direct role in building a highly skilled workforce and R&D leadership right here in our community, and helps secure Waterloo’s position as one of the world’s top communities for technology innovation.”

”By collaborating with Open Text, we are hoping to create an institution that’s recognized worldwide for discoveries that meet the needs of the 21st century digital economy,” said David Johnston, President of the University of Waterloo. “Open Text’s contribution will help accelerate Ontario and Canada into a leadership position in digital media and Web technologies.”

Today’s news follows closely on the heels of Open Text’s March 3 announcement of a broad strategy to deliver new social computing solutions to customers(http://www.opentext.com/news/pr.html?id=2018). As part of its plan, Open Text is extending its collaboration and Web solutions offerings to deliver 2.0 capabilities, including wikis, forums, blogs, tagging, moderation, communities and real-time collaboration, within an organization’s broader ECM strategy. Application of these new technologies creates more engaging Web experiences, improves knowledge sharing and collaboration, increases employee productivity and helps improve brand loyalty and interaction.

Tradition of Innovation
Open Text’s contribution is an extension of the company’s long history as an innovator in the software industry and of its roots in the University of Waterloo. Open Text began on the University’s campus in the late 80s with a group of university researchers who were working on a project to convert the entire Oxford English Dictionary—all 60 million words—to electronic form, a major feat in the pre-Internet days. The work formed the basis for the Internet’s first search engine technology, which was soon adopted by Yahoo.

Since then, Open Text has consistently developed leading technologies in enterprise content management, and counts its staff as some of the industry’s leading experts. Open Text, which is headquartered in Waterloo, is the largest software company in Canada with some 3,000 employees worldwide.

• Link a document from SharePoint Server 2007: Web content editors can address latency and stale Web content by dynamically accessing a document resident in SharePoint Server 2007. Users can link documents via the publishing system to any online target with secure and controlled access from any location.
• Access different document versions: Administrators can select a specific version of a document to publish with granularity to access previous or minor versions as well.
• Publish document attributes and metadata from SharePoint Server 2007: The descriptive attributes and metadata of a document help to drive personalization and a rich online user experience. Web content editors can publish document metadata to any online target for classification, search or interactive user insight.

As organizations look to invest in SharePoint Server 2007, this integration release will help them create, access and publish assets out to the web with ease, with the added benefit of being able to extend their technology investment.

2008-03-03 - AIIM Conf. & Expo 2008, Boston; CeBIT 2008, Hannover - Open Text™ Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in enterprise content management (ECM), today unveiled its Enterprise 2.0 strategy designed to help customers transform their organizations with powerful social computing tools. Open Text is taking its collaboration and Web solutions offerings to a new level, providing 2.0 capabilities -- wikis, forums, blogs, tagging, moderation, communities and real-time collaboration -- that are persuasive, productive and integrated into business processes, while still respecting compliance initiatives.

Web 2.0 technologies have redefined the Web as a platform to harness collective intelligence. Applied in the enterprise, organizations can achieve a future desired state of Enterprise 2.0, where its internal and external web sites and applications get better the more people use them. Application of these new technologies creates more engaging Web experiences, improves knowledge sharing and collaboration, increases employee productivity and helps improve brand loyalty and interaction.

Leveraging its existing Web 2.0 solutions based on its market leading web content management offering, Open Text will provide a comprehensive set of new solutions to better address the broad range of 2.0 requirements. These solutions are aimed at collaboration and social computing requirements behind the firewall as a natural extension of customers' current ECM initiatives (ensuring a tight link to existing content and processes), as well as Web 2.0 enablement of public websites, intranets and extranets.

"In order to be successful, customers must view Enterprise 2.0 within the context of their ECM strategies," said Bill Forquer, Executive Vice President of Marketing at Open Text. "Our ECM leadership is based on advocating a holistic approach, where content originating from multiple sources and repositories can be effectively managed, reused and delivered across the enterprise. An effective Enterprise 2.0 strategy requires a similar holistic approach that factors in all the 2.0 content being created."

Forquer adds, "Many organizations treated email as special content outside their ECM strategy. Consequently, this silo treatment has degenerated email repositories into unmanaged chaos and unquantifiable risk. There is no need to repeat that experience with emerging 2.0 content and rich media."

Open Text has the credentials to help organizations take this holistic approach for their Enterprise 2.0 aspirations, according to Forquer, "We have a track record of innovation in web-centricity, collaboration and search. We're also leaders in helping organizations apply records and archiving rules to content across many systems, from email to SharePoint to SAP to Oracle to our own content repositories. We can bring a holistic view of content that can tie Enterprise 2.0 into the broader ECM context, so that 2.0 content to be managed."

The fundamental elements of Open Text's Enterprise 2.0 strategy include:

• Experience Optimization: Optimize the end user experience through personalization, language preferences, analytics, voting, tagging, blogs and moderation.
• Workgroup Optimization: Optimize collaborative applications that enhance the variety of workgroup structures in an organization such as teams, projects, communities of practice and program offices.
• Enterprise 2.0 Content Management: Provide flexible use of wikis, forums, blogs, tagging, and real-time collaboration. Provide advanced handling of rich-media content, with special emphasis on video, which is quickly becoming the de-facto format for 2.0 style work.
• Make Enterprise 2.0 Content Safe: Manage Enterprise 2.0 content holistically alongside other content repositories providing a consistent implementation of archiving, disposition, retention and compliance policies.
• Find Before Search: Intuitively find and deliver information relevant to the user’s then-current context and present that information without the user explicitly searching for the same.

In line with its Enterprise 2.0 strategy, Open Text is emphasizing product development and technology directions that support 2.0 fundamentals, with areas of focus that include:

• Meta-Data to Underpin Experience Optimization: Deeper levels of meta-data handling will enrich the user experience. This includes richer meta-data handling for content, but with particular emphasis on richer meta-data for people and processes as well. It also includes blending the best of both top-down taxonomies with bottom-up tags.
• Relationships: Graphing interactions between people, processes and content that can reveal implicit, sometimes hidden, relationships that can be used to optimize business processes.
• Workgroups: Adapting technology to improve workgroup effectiveness. Additional workgroups include committees, governance boards, escalation teams, and exception management. This also includes blending collaborative escalation and exception handling within high-throughput applications such as Accounts Payable.
• Classification: Improved intuition to auto-classify content, particularly drawing on past user behaviors and current context.
• Email Analytics: Building on classifications and graphing interaction, introduce or extend tools that reduce our email dependency and burden, such as auto-promotion of email threads to blogs.
• New Offerings Accelerate 2.0 Adoption

In September, Open Text also announced a set of solutions for its RedDot Web Content Management suite that help customers 2.0-enable public websites, intranets and extranets.
