SAP and OpenText extend ECM alliance

OpenText and SAP AG have expanded their ECM offerings to allow SAP Archiving by OpenText to run on the SAP HANA platform, including support for SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud service deployments. 

SAP Extended ECM users will also gain access to Tempo Box, OpenText’s file sync and share solution.

In May 2013, OpenText announced it had been qualified by SAP for integration with SAP HANA. The company has now extended its platform to include support for SAP HANA on its core Archive Server.

There are currently more than 4200 organisations globally that have deployed on-premise SAP Archiving by OpenText, representing 15 million end users.

They will now be able to access the same Archive solution on SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud and be able to manage digital assets with a single point of management and workflow integration 

"The ongoing strategic alliance between SAP and OpenText allows us to bring solutions to market that offer customers the tools they need for success and innovation," said Mark Barrenechea, president and chief executive officer at OpenText. "As the first ECM provider in the market to run its core platform on SAP HANA, this partnership continues to drive breakthroughs that produce impactful and tangible results for customers."
