OpenText has acquired Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leading developer of viewing, annotation, redaction and publishing commercial software. As an OpenText partner for more than a decade, IGC technologies will be further integrated into the ECM product portfolio and extended into other OpenText Suites. 

With the acquisition of IGC, OpenText claims to have strengthened its capabilities for secure access to any content, on any device, on premises and in the cloud. Having already deployed more than 250 joint customers and more than 300,000 seats of Brava! for OpenText Content Server, OpenText intends to now extend the reach of IGC offerings to more OpenText customers globally.

 “With a proven record of success as an OpenText partner, we are excited to welcome the IGC team into our company,” said Mark J. Barrenechea, president and chief executive officer of OpenText. 

“As customers make the shift to the digital workplace and the cloud, document viewing and mark-up on any device will enable organisations to leverage their information and drive growth and success in their organisations.”

Next generation Media Management 

 OpenText also announced the latest version of OpenText Media Management. Featuring a completely redesigned HTML5 user experience, users have instant access to their projects and digital assets with the ability to customise the interface and find the information they need immediately. 

“While many traditional DAM offerings are being pushed beyond their comfort zone, OpenText Media Management is engineered to respond to the ever-growing demands and pressures customers face,” said Muhi Majzoub, senior vice president of engineering, OpenText. 

“With a simple yet powerful user experience, OpenText Media Management is much more than just DAM. It allows digital media transformation to offer customers unparalleled control and access to all their digital media content and workflows.”
