IBM FileNet vs OpenText in our news:
2022. OpenText acquires Micro Focus for $6B
ECM giant OpenText is buying Micro Focus for a total value of $6 billion. Micro Focus is a British company, built much of its business buying legacy software companies like Borland, Novell and Cobol-IT. Its highest-profile deal was an $8.8 billion agreement in 2016 to partner with HPE on part of its enterprise software portfolio. Aside from some of the pieces in the HPE portfolio, like the infamous Autonomy deal, most of Micro Focus’ catalog doesn’t align in a direct way with OpenText’s content management roots. That’s because it appears to be a big deal about getting bigger rather than direct synergy with the acquiring company.
1995. Open Text acquires LiveLink
