OpenText has announced the release of OpenText OT2, its next-generation hybrid-cloud platform that brings together intelligent automation, security, and EIM applications in a unified platform.

With a unified data model and a standard user interface, OpenText OT2 enables developers to rapidly build SaaS applications in the OpenText Cloud. OpenText OT2 brings together micro-services for content collaboration, security, process automation, and analytics, enabling customers and partners to rapidly develop and deploy powerful business applications to drive digital transformation further into their operations.

“Today, all industries are looking for a stable and secure hybrid-cloud infrastructure for their information management, including sectors such as manufacturing, financial services, legal, life sciences, and government, for whom public cloud deployments once seemed impossible," said Mark J. Barrenechea, vice-chair, CEO and CTO, OpenText.

"OpenText OT2 simplifies technology investment decisions by delivering compelling applications for business users -- hybrid-cloud based EIM applications supported by modern micro-services – all on a single SaaS platform. Applications in OpenText OT2 will be tightly integrated with OpenText Release 16. Whether securely sharing information internally and externally by integrating OpenText Core and OpenText Documentum, or managing contracts by integrating Contract Center and OpenText Extended ECM, customers will get a single solution from OpenText."

The OpenText OT2 platform, available now, will develop with quarterly releases, with all applications being tightly integrated with OpenText Release 16.

OpenText is opening its cloud infrastructure to select members of its partner ecosystem. This will enable global systems integrators to create and market applications on the OpenText cloud.
