Open Text Receives Highest Available Rating in Leading Analyst Firm's Records Management Report
Open Text has received the highest rating possible, a “Strong Positive,” in leading analyst firm Gartner’s 2009 “MarketScope* for Records Management,” published on Sept. 10, 2009 and authored by Kenneth Chin.
According to Gartner's report, "Demand for records management solutions continues to grow, as the technology is imperative if an organization is to effectively implement an enterprise-wide records management program." According to Gartner, by 2013, 50 percent of all Global 2000 companies will implement enterprise-wide records management solutions.
The report also noted, "As emerging consumer and social software tools like wikis, blogs and Twitter are adopted at an enterprise level, this additional content may also need to be managed as records."
"We could not address the risks and regulatory challenges of information without a comprehensive records management solution," said Chuck Piotrowski, Corporate Records Manager, Central Vermont Public Service. "Open Text provides trusted technology leadership and expertise that has been essential to our success. With Open Text's fully integrated solution, records management becomes a core piece of ECM strategy, and we can use the solution to support enterprise applications such as SAP and Microsoft SharePoint."
