OpenText Customer Communications Management Now Features Increased Interactivity and Provides Greater Insight, Access and Effectiveness in Customer Communications Management

WATERLOO, Ontario, Feb. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in Enterprise Information Management (EIM), today announced the latest version of its Customer Communications Management (CCM) solution, OpenText StreamServe version 5.6.2. Combining on-demand, interactive, and high-volume transactional customer communications with its traditional document presentment capabilities, OpenText Customer Communications Management now allows for interactive correspondence throughout a document's lifecycle from authoring to customer engagement.

As the pace, scale and variety of communications channels expand, many businesses continue to operate multiple, disparate communications tools that lead to inefficiency and error. OpenText Customer Communications Management streamlines transactional communications to help organizations exceed customer expectations, reach new markets and provide superior experiences across all channels for a Digital-First World experience.

OpenText Customer Communications Management creates a communications layer that links the back-end business systems with the front-end marketing solutions, allowing the monitoring and measuring of communications. The feedback offers companies the ability to both store and use the information to increase the effectiveness of further interactions. Utilizing OpenText Customer Communications Management, organizations can create an adaptive communications process triggered at the point of purchase for email confirmations, SMS notifications, and voicemail alerts that maintains a consistent experience for the customer.

"With OpenText Customer Communications Management, businesses can improve the efficiency and agility of their communications with a centralized and automated system," said Adam Howatson, chief marketing officer, OpenText. "In the Digital-First World, it is important that companies employ omni-channel communications to service customer needs. OpenText is helping organizations make each touch point an effective message by providing a simple path that matches offline communications with the online experience."

Among the new features of OpenText Customer Communications Management are:

Cloud Enabled Communications-- Integrates with the OpenText Trading Grid in the OpenText Cloud for communication delivery from anywhere to anyone via the most extensive email, fax and SMS delivery engine in the world, providing both greater performance insight and delivery assurance for critical communications such as outage or emergency notifications, whether high-volume or on-demand.
Interactive Objects--A simple 'Drag & Drop' functionality offers creation of dynamic documents. Business users are able to embed interactive elements such as radio buttons, checkboxes, pull-downs and text boxes and rich-media into outgoing digital correspondence without technical programming for enhanced levels of customer engagement.
Template Workspaces-- Wizard based template storage and on-demand document creation directly from Content Server. This includes management of document level metadata, regeneration of document preview/edit with native archiving/document versioning.
