According to the IDC MarketScape report, “The OpenText portfolio includes powerful AI and ML capabilities that are being integrated in Trading Grid to provide actionable insights to help optimize supply chain processes and improve business performance.”

"OpenText provides cloud-based integration tools with extensive ’Business to Anything’ capabilities. Through genuine partnerships and resource extension, OpenText’s offerings ensure seamless supply chain management, enabling strategic and sustainable business growth"

The report specifically noted the following about OpenText: 

  • Strong integration capabilities across different types of technical requirements around connectivity and data formats, including regional and industry variants and standards and digitalization of any supply chain data exchange. This is an advantage, particularly with customers that have global operations and need to support supply chain operations in various countries and regions. 
  • A high degree of flexibility in solution design and configurable functionality while leveraging reusable components. Owing to the delivery model of combining proprietary technology with managed services, they also include custom elements to deliver the specific functionality customers seek. When out-of-box capabilities are not enough to meet the customer’s requirements, they often have a significant advantage over the competition due to this reason. 
  • Particularly the visibility capabilities of Lens are highly appreciated by business and technical users and are a key differentiator for OpenText regarding the core B2B integration capabilities and user experience.
