Here at OpenText, we are proud of the technology we build. The investments we make and the customer-centric approach we take to our innovations are, we believe, what makes our solutions so valuable. It is always encouraging and exciting to be acknowledged by our customers and the experts in the markets we serve. This includes the industry analyst community. So far in 2023, OpenText has been placed in several industry analyst evaluations, including status as a “leader” from Forrester Research in two solution categories.  

Thanks to our recent acquisition of Micro Focus which closed on January 31, OpenText has significantly broadened its product portfolio. The company’s corporate mission now includes helping enterprise professionals secure their operations, gain more insight into their information, and better manage an increasingly hybrid and complex digital fabric with a new generation of tools. With this expansion comes the role of a leader in additional markets. 

We believe these analyst firm rankings provide independent assessments of the trustworthiness OpenText delivers to customers. In developing these rankings, analyst firms look at solution capabilities, vision, innovation roadmap, and market presence. To us, these recent scores mean customers trust OpenText to deliver business value today and into the future. 

The following are some highlights from recent OpenText analyst rankings.
