OpenText: A Cyber Graphic Points to Its Future

December 9, 2020

When I think of OpenText, here’s what flashes through my find:

  • BRS (Livelink)
  • Fulcrum
  • Hummingbird
  • InQuery
  • nQuire
  • Recommind
  • SGML search.

My recollection is that there may be a Web search engine, a search system for law firm email, and a database from Information Dimensions. I cannot recall, but the message seems clear:

OpenText is a company deeply involved in search and retrieval.

When I read “Mark J. Barrenechea Keynote: The Future of Cyber Resilience”, I realized that I am thinking about the “old” OpenText. What do I mean “old.” That “old” OpenText was an enterprise search vendor wrapped in search-based applications like eDiscovery and content management.

Not any more.

Here’s the new OpenText:
