•Strengths
–No.1 in ECM Market Share and Revenue
–Broad product portfolio
–Large adoption by legal, energy and financial services sectors
–Java Based; SoA compatible
–Open Text has developed a good ecosystem with two key software infrastructure vendors: SAP and Microsoft.
•Weakness
–Gartner says Lesser availability of skilled resources
–Open Text has made many acquisitions over the years and continues to grow through acquisitions, resulting in multiple and redundant products. Although Open Text is ramping up its R&D, it still needs to rationalize these products so that it can concentrate its R&D resources better.
