Open Text's Content World will Explore Newly Released ECM Suite 2010,
Company's Long-Term Vision

Attendees will Learn How to Establish Sound Content Governance, Improve Content Efficiency and Drive Content Monetization at Annual User Conference

CONTENT WORLD, Washington, D.C, Nov. 9 /CNW/ - Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC) will convene with customers, partners, and Enterprise Content Management (ECM) industry experts from across the globe to share best practices, learn how to yield maximum benefits from content management technology and hear about Open Text's vision and long-term strategy at Content World 2010, November 8-12 in Washington D.C. The company will also showcase its just released ECM Suite 2010, announced in September.

The power of ECM Suite 2010 is its wide ranging new functionality covering 90 products and modules linked through a consistent integration framework, and spanning everything from compliance, business process management and portals to integrated mobile experience and enterprise information archiving. The result gives customers the most complete content management environment available to handle the vast array of content types, languages, applications, user needs and business processes in their organizations. 

"Highlighted by delivery of Open Text ECM Suite 2010 - the most significant R&D effort in Open Text's history - there will be much in the way of exciting new technology to see and learn about during this year's Content World," said Eugene Roman, Open Text's Chief Technology Officer. "What's more, our new Innovation Lab sessions give attendees a way to experience new technologies and provide feedback that will help guide future product development." With user adoption and training being key topics at this year's Content World, Roman is interviewed in an Open Text News Podcast released today and available here on the importance of helping knowledge workers develop skills to more effectively manage content and collaborate, as enterprises embrace social media. 

With more than 110 sessions, peer-to-peer networking events, panel discussions and a distinguished keynote speaker, this year's event will explore how to ensure governance, improve efficiency and drive monetization of enterprise content management. Participants will also learn vital information about how to optimize current Open Text solutions—whether their focus is on lifecycle management, engagement, or transactional content. They will also learn how Open Text Everywhere boosts productivity by bringing the full power of the ECM Suite to smartphones.

The six-day conference, attended and sponsored by the world's leading brands, is being staged at the award-winning Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center. This year's platinum event sponsors include Deloitte, Microsoft and SAP. Highlights of Content World 2010 will include:

• A keynote address from Bruce D. Johnson, President of Accelerated Growth Consulting. Dubbed "a celebrated strategist", Johnson's "Leading Successful Change Efforts That Stick" keynote will address change management and how to lead and create successful change.
