OPENTEXT

ANTHONY LLOYD VP OF TECHNOLOGY SERVICES , OPEN TEXT can protect it and make sure that you have that data for whatever timeframe you need .”

By utilising the power of OpenText ’ s information management platforms , organisations can reduce risk , cut costs and grow revenue , all while gaining an information advantage .

The information advantage means harnessing the power of information and managing it securely , intelligently , and as a whole , rather than in parts . It is attaining tactical , operational and strategic advantages over competitors using information systems , processes and influence .

“ We simplify your ability to not only keep that data securely , but also we allow you to be able to parse that data , obtain the information out of it that you need to categorise it and be able to manage it and distribute it very quickly ,” explains Lloyd . “ Depending on which of the tools we have that you may choose to use , we have a lot of flexibility in our ability to do that .”

Thanks to a partnership with hybrid cloud data services and data management company NetApp , one of OpenText ’ s premier partners , data is now available ‘ on tap ’, anywhere . As Lloyd explains , the cloud strategy with NetApp is a core function of the business .

“ We have adapted NetApp solutions , not only in our prior data centres but also in our new colocation facilities as well as in our public cloud and private cloud solutions ,” he comments . “ Part of what NetApp brings to the table is the ability to have that data on tap anywhere and the ability for us to use and manipulate that data – whether it ' s on-prem or in the cloud – and simply get it to where we need to have it safely and securely .

“ As we continue to scale our environments , the NetApp solution scales with us ,” says Lloyd . “ It ' s a core function and a core key piece of technology that continues to grow as we grow .”
