CEO's

invitation

I am very pleased and excited to invite you to our first LiveLinkUp Europe conference, which takes place from April 14 to 17 in Paris, France. This event is based upon our annual LiveLinkUp conference held in North America, and is being brought to Europe by your request.

The theme for LiveLinkUp Europe 2002 is "Great Minds" and the event promises to be a celebration of the great minds of our customers, partners and employees. Hundreds of our users from around Europe will be on hand to share their experiences. Learn how other great minds have used Livelink to achieve rapid Return On Investment (ROI) and make their organizations more efficient.

The conference is organized around three topics of interest:

• Managing Intellectual Capital Through Virtual Teams; Intellectual capital has been in the technology spotlight lately. At the conference, we'll demonstrate how Open Text provides integrated solutions that enable organizations to effectively manage intellectual capital and improve productivity through virtual teams.



• Extending the Reach of Your Great Minds; Put yourself on the leading edge of collaborative and knowledge management technology with the latest release of Livelink! Find out how you can extend Livelink's collaborative capabilities and improve productivity with real-time meeting functionality.



• Collaborating to Build Successful Application Solutions; Join us for an informative look at award winning, best-in-class customer and partner application solutions. Customers and keynote speakers will share insight into how they have achieved high return on investment with Open Text solutions.

In addition to Livelink, we'll also be showcasing BASIS, Techlib, iRIMS, ODOC, BRS/Search, and Open Image product technology through presentations by customers and employees. The Open Text Product Roadmap will be presented in a plenary session.

We have scheduled over 100 compelling sessions, keynotes and demonstrations, designed to give you an in-depth understanding of the latest Open Text solutions. Highlights include an Open Text Product Strategy presentation, solution spotlights, and knowledge management and collaborative strategies. Please refer to the Breakouts page for detailed descriptions.

We have found in the past that LiveLinkUp in North America has proven very beneficial for executives, senior management, end users, application administrators, and developers, and we are confident that you will find the same at our European event. The conference provides an excellent forum for mingling with our partners, industry and financial analysts and Open Text employees.

We're proud to announce that a recent report by IDC recognized Livelink as a global leader in team collaborative applications, capturing 47% of the market. Don't miss this opportunity to see how we're helping five million great minds work together. Join us in Paris for LiveLinkUp Europe 2002!

Sincerely,
Tom Jenkins
