Latest Mobility Offering Brings Touch-Friendly Secure Access to Enterprise Applications for Apple iPad Users

WATERLOO, ON, May 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC) today announced that it has expanded its industry leading enterprise portfolio of mobility solutions with the introduction of Exceed onDemand for Apple iPad tablets. The latest addition to the Exceed onDemand family of managed application access solutions provides iPad users with always-on collaborative access to their line-of-business UNIX applications, while offering organizations the security and management features of a true enterprise solution.

The iPad is quickly emerging as a standard business tool, driven by an increasingly mobile workforce. International Data Corp.

OpenText offerings such as OpenText Everywhere and the OpenText Mobile Wave Platform enable enterprises to efficiently deliver enterprise content and information to employees' mobile devices, helping to significantly boost productivity.
