Google and OpenText have announced they will work together to deploy OpenText's EIM solution suite on Google Cloud Platform. This work will include a containerised application architecture for flexible cloud or hybrid deployment models.

OpenText has selected Google Cloud as its first partner to support OpenText Anywhere to deliver hyper-scale hosting functionality to customers.

"Information is a critical asset for any business, but many large enterprises have not yet fully realized the value of their Enterprise Information Management solutions. That's why we're delighted to partner with OpenText to help customers run their Enterprise Information Management solutions securely, flexibly and at scale," said Kevin Ichhpurani, Corporate Vice President at Google Cloud.

Meanwhile, OpenText  has also announced a series of new SaaS-based applications for the legal, life sciences and HR markets on its own cloud platform, OT2.

New OpenText applications built on OT2 include:

• OpenText Legal Center - a cloud-based, process-centric approach to addressing specialised legal use cases like client onboarding, external sharing & collaboration, and document management.
• OpenText Quality Center - building on OpenText Documentum for Life Science and OpenText Life Science Express to deliver secure collaboration solutions for the highly-regulated life sciences sector.
• Extended ECM for SuccessFactors Public Cloud Edition - the latest collaboration between SAP and OpenText, delivering secure content management solutions for SAP’s talent management platform.
