OpenText™ Delivers Enterprise Information Management Apps for Windows® 8

OpenText Tempo Box and OpenText eDOCS DM for Windows 8 and Windows RT Enable Simple, Security-Enhanced Access to Documents on Devices of Different Form Factors

WATERLOO, ON, Jan. 9, 2013 /CNW/ - OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX,TSX: OTC), a leading provider of Enterprise Information Management (EIM) solutions, today announced that OpenText Tempo^TM Box and OpenText eDOCS DM, two of the industry's most secure enterprise information management applications, are now available in the Windows Store.

As a longstanding Microsoft partner, OpenText is dedicated to continually delivering innovative products that fully support and encourage the adoption of Windows 8. OpenText has expanded its product roadmap to deliver Windows 8 solutions for OpenText Capture, OpenText Provision, Case360 and MBPM. Similarly, OpenText Content Server, Enterprise Connect, and Email Management are adding Windows 8 support along with Web Experience Management, Portal, Media Management and other products.

"Businesses today are increasingly asking for technology solutions that will provide them with the flexibility to access important documents on their PCs and mobile devices interchangeably. Windows 8 and Windows RT give them this access with the rich functionality, ease of use and a heightened level of security they've come to expect from the Windows operating systems," said John Richards, Senior Director, Windows App Marketing for Microsoft Corp.

Tempo Box is a comprehensive offering that fulfills organizational needs for security, control and integration. Unlike other solutions, it provides enterprise-grade security features that help businesses ensure compliance with regulatory and organizational mandates. Tempo Box allows users to access, view and manage files from their Windows 8 device, as well as edit files in other apps installed on Windows 8. Direct integration with a user's corporate LDAP or AD directory makes security-enhanced sharing with other Tempo Box users fast and easy.

Tempo Box, a simple, secure file transfer and synchronization service, and the newly developed eDOCS DM app, designed to support legal and mid-market businesses, support both Windows 8 and Windows RT on tablets and PCs, providing customers with the versatility of cloud-based data access - whether in the office or on the go.

"Our Tempo Box product and our eDOCS DM app will empower our business users to quickly take full advantage of all the innovative mobility features that Microsoft offers in these new operating systems," said Muhi Majzoub, Senior Vice President of Engineering at OpenText. "These innovations demonstrate OpenText's continued commitment to bringing leading-edge EIM solutions to customers and represent key parts of OpenText's Enterprise Information Management (EIM) strategy, helping organizations to work more efficiently and drive better business outcomes."

The newly developed OpenText eDOCS DM app also supports virtually anytime, anywhere access for Windows 8 users with an easy to use app that is consistent with the new Windows user experience. It supports Windows touch interactions and provides a consistent user experience when interacting with eDOCS DM content on any Windows 8 or Windows RT device regardless of form factor.

OpenText Tempo Box and eDOCS DM users can now take advantage of all the simplicity and elegance of Windows 8 - such as the new Start screen; touch screen capabilities; Cloud-connected access; improved performance and system reliability; as well as increased end-to-end enhanced security and manageability features. OpenText Tempo Box and eDOCS DM enables users to take full advantage of the new advanced mobility and usability features in Windows 8, while ensuring a consistent experience when interacting with EIM applications on different devices.

EIM helps organizations manage and exploit their enterprise information to drive innovation, create competitive advantage and make better decisions about their business without compromising their information governance and security.
