LEGALTECH, NEW YORK, New York, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire/ - OpenText (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC) announced today that Nixon Peabody LLP, one of the world's largest law firms, has completed a firm-wide upgrade to Open Text's eDOCS DM 5.3.

OpenText eDOCS DM 5.3 is the latest significant upgrade to the eDOCS product portfolio. Released in December 2010, the document management solution is designed to help lower total cost of ownership and deliver a more individualized user experience. eDOCS DM 5.3 also features tight integration with OpenText ECM Suite 2010 for customers requiring scalability across large enterprise deployments.

According to David Yates, Director of Application Development, "By participating in the Open Text Beta Program we were able to perform extensive testing of eDOCS DM prior to its release. This experience gave us the confidence that eDOCS DM 5.3 was ready for primetime. eDOCS DM is a critical part of the technology solution supporting the firm's migration to Microsoft Office 2010 and our attorneys were very pleased by how quickly and smoothly the upgrade went."

"eDOCS complements the OpenText product portfolio and is widely used by law firms, public sector agencies and mid-sized businesses to organize, secure, and deliver business value from employee content across the enterprise," said Todd Partridge, Vice President and General Manager for eDOCS and Legal Solutions at OpenText. "We are seeing a strong interest by customers in the legal industry to adopt eDOCS DM 5.3 as a strategic hub for their legal and document management needs. It is great to see that clients like Nixon Peabody LLP are experiencing the benefits of OpenText's strong investment in eDOCS with the upgrade to this new version."
