Joint customers benefit from a richer, more powerful suite of mobile-
and cloud-based EIM solutions that can boost efficiencies and improve
productivity
WATERLOO, ON, May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC),
the global leader in Enterprise Information Management (EIM), today announced a significant expansion of the OpenText ECM Suite for SAP® Solutions in support of SAP's latest technologies, including the SAP HANA
platform, and cloud and mobility solutions.
The OpenText ECM Suite for SAP Solutions is expected to extend the value
of SAP Business Suite software as an end-to-end solution, addressing
strategy to execution and helping enable business transformation.
Leveraging the power of SAP HANA, the OpenText ECM Suite for SAP
Solutions is designed to enable SAP customers to use common enterprise
architecture to organize and control all of their digital information.
As further evidence of the strategic alignment between the companies,
OpenText is the first SAP software solution and technology partner to
offer solutions that have been fully tested and confirmed by SAP to be
integrated with SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA. Using these
solutions together with SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA, it is
anticipated that customers can now reap the benefits of a faster,
smarter and simpler real-time platform for their business.
Additionally, OpenText solutions resold by SAP as the SAP Digital Asset
Management and the SAP Document Presentment applications by OpenText
are available with the SAP 360 Customer solution.
"The OpenText ECM Suite for SAP Solutions is intended to offer
businesses a holistic, value-based and integrated approach to managing
enterprise content," said Patrick Barnert, senior vice president,
Partners and Alliances at OpenText. "With OpenText ECM suite now
supporting SAP HANA as well as SAP cloud and mobility solutions we are
not only reinforcing our commitment to our two-decade relationship with
SAP, but also our commitment to empowering customers with comprehensive
EIM solutions."
Benefits of OpenText's enriched portfolio of products for SAP solutions
include the following:
-
A new collaborative Invoice-to-Pay solution to facilitate offering
customers a hybrid on-premises and cloud-based solution that can
leverage the Ariba Network, connecting buyers and suppliers and helping
to enable them to further optimize and capitalize on the benefits of
invoice management paradigms such as dynamic discounting.
-
OpenText's powerful capture and optical character recognition (OCR)
services are now included in the SAP Cloud for Travel solution
(formerly known as SAP Travel OnDemand), a cloud-based application for
travel management. Further strengthening the partnership between OpenText and SAP, the offering is expected to make it easier for business travelers to
file expense reports using information scanned from receipts using
scanners or mobile devices.
-
OpenText's Employee File Management 4.0 integrates with solutions from
SuccessFactors, an SAP company, via a cloud connector interface
feature. The connector can quickly import forms from various
cloud-based processes, helping to enable users to easily store
cloud-based documents within a central content repository.

New mobile applications, such as OpenText Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Solutions, OpenText Employee File Management for SAP Solutions, and the SAP Portal Content Management application by OpenText are forecasted to support and integrate with the SAP Afaria® mobile
device management solution. This is anticipated to allow users to
easily sync, share and store enterprise information across all mobile
devices while still keeping content secure and within corporate
compliance policies.
"Customer success is at the center of everything we do at SAP," said
Eric Duffaut, corporate officer and president, Global Ecosystem and
