Leveraging EIM to Unlock the Information Advantage

WATERLOO, Ontario, July 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX), (TSX: OTEX) today opened Enterprise World, the world's largest gathering of Enterprise Information Management (EIM) leaders, to discuss technologies and strategies to help companies unlock the Information Advantage. Enterprise World brings together thousands of OpenText customers, business leaders and developers to learn about industry trends, the latest OpenText product releases and partnerships, and to receive hands-on demonstrations, training and certification.

Mark J. Barrenechea, OpenText CEO & CTO, will launch Enterprise World with a keynote addressing the challenges enterprises face, from emerging technology to changing labor market dynamics and new global regulations.

"There is an unprecedented opportunity to re-imagine business at the nexus of cloud, digital, and AI. This is the new agenda for business leaders, that requires new talent and new business models, while keeping customer experience as job #1," said Mark J. Barrenechea, OpenText CEO & CTO.

We are excited to introduce our next generation product line, OpenText Cloud Edition, to help business compete and win in Industry 4.0."

Barrenechea will be joined by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the World Wide Web and CTO of Inrupt, Inc. to discuss the future of the web and how companies can understand the state of the World Wide Web. On Thursday, world-renowned musician and humanitarian Peter Gabriel will close the event in conversation with Barrenechea.
