Customer Experience Platform), digital process automation (OpenText AppWorks), discovery (OpenText

OpenText announced cloud-native containerized versions of many of the company's software applications
in April 2020.[42]
OpenText Documentum
OpenText Documentum is an information management platform, named after the company Documentum
that originally developed the software suite. In 2003, EMC acquired Documentum for $1.7 billion.[43] In
2016, EMC was acquired by Dell, becoming Dell EMC.[44] Subsequently, all of the Documentum
intellectual property was sold to OpenText Corporation.
In 1996, the product originally called "Livelink" became OpenText's.[45] Between 2003 and 2005,
"Livelink" evolved from being the name of a single product to being a brand applied to the names of
several OpenText software products. As a result of this change, "Livelink Server" became known as
"Livelink Enterprise Server" (LES) and later "Livelink ECM.[45] In 2012, OpenText introduced the
OpenText Content Suite. Then the technology component formerly known as Livelink ECM - Enterprise
Server became known as OpenText Content Server, which is now a key component of OpenText Content
Suite Platform.[45][46][47]
OpenText Magellan
In July 2017, OpenText launched its artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics platform, OpenText Magellan,
at the company's Enterprise World conference. The platform combines open source machine learning with
advanced analysis and is able to merge, manage, and analyze both structure data and unstructured, textual
content. It offers machine-assisted decision-making, automation, and business optimization in a scalable,
flexible solution.[49]
OpenText RightFax
OpenText RightFax provides network-based fax functionality to enterprise organizations and has evolved
through many versions since it was first released in 1992.[50][51][52]
RedDot, founded in 1993, was a business unit of OpenText Corporation that the company refers to as the
Web Solutions Group. The software assists in the management of content, with regulatory compliance and
industry specific requirements.
Its core product, RedDot CMS is a Windows-based server application that provides Web content
management in a multi-user environment. Complementary to the CMS or as a standalone product,
LiveServer aggregates disparate document resources and serves them as Web pages.
Red dots on the authoring interface indicated sections of editable content for each web page,[53] hence the
name RedDot for the product. This feature was popular with customers and won awards[54] in 2001 for its
usability. By 2006, RedDot was one of the few WCM vendors that continued to develop their own content
authoring interface. Most other WCM vendors had moved to open source alternatives, or had licensed an
online rich-text editor from commercial vendors such as Ephox or Ektron. In response to customer attempts
to work around the limitations of the RedDot editor by installing other editors[55] RedDot developed an
integration layer to support CKeditor and Ephox EditLive! as alternative editors.[56] In 2009, RedDot
(rebranded the OpenText Web Solutions Group) made the Telerik RadEditor available alongside the
existing RedDot editor for CMS 9.[57]
After the acquisition of Vignette, Web Solutions was rebranded again to become OpenText Web Site
Management.[58]
AppEnhancer is a content management system that manages, organizes, and stores information from an
application or as an extension to an existing application. The product was acquired during OpenText's
purchase of Dell EMC's ECD (Enterprise Content Division) in 2017.[62]
