OpenText recently held its OpenText World Europe event, which took place in three locations, London, Munich and Paris. OpenText brought together customers, partners, and industry luminaries to explore the transformative power of information management and artificial intelligence (AI) to elevate human potential.

OpenText is innovating to combine trusted information management and data strategies with advanced AI capabilities.

In his keynote, CEO & CTO Mark J. Barrenechea addressed how customers can be more creative and more productive with OpenText. “Throughout history, pivotal moments have propelled industries, societies, and cultures forward. AI is such a moment—a catalyst that will revolutionize the business landscape,” said Barrenechea. “As we usher in the era of Business AI, we need to let the machines do the work, and raise human productivity and creativity. This is OpenText’s focus with OpenText Aviator™.”

Throughout his keynote and conversations with industry luminaries, Barrenechea illustrated how technology can enable organizations to build for new ways to think and grow. Key take-aways include:

He will dive into the OpenText Cloud roadmap and showcase how DevOps and supply chain traceability can now be taken to a new level.
