The new OpenText partner program will offer additional solutions, training and service for its partners, all under a standardized program framework, according to the company. It provides an opportunity for partners to serve as an extension of OpenText products with joint solutions that meet specific market needs.
“As we advance our opentext.ai vision and strategy, the OpenText Partner Network is going to be a thriving ecosystem where collaboration and innovation flourish,” said Sandy Ono, OpenText’s chief marketing officer. “OpenText is investing in R&D to develop advanced technologies that our partners will be able to build upon. Together, we are going to help customers around the globe improve and secure their underlying data and information flows to take advantage of AI. We are committed to co-innovation with our partners to deliver exceptional value to our customers. Together, we will bring cloud and AI to new heights.”
The new OpenText unified partner program includes:
OpenText Partner Program for Enterprise Partners, a single standardized program framework with globally consistent expectations, processes and benefits tied to future growth.
OpenText Cloud Acceleration Program, for midmarket partners, focused on building new business and growth opportunities for partners through OpenText public cloud offerings.
OpenText Aviator Thrust for Partners, a new offering for partners to build custom solutions for clients using OpenText Cloud API services to serve customers on their AI journey or to create industry-specific solutions.
OpenText SolEx program, an initiative that gives partners the opportunity to be an extension of OpenText products with joint solutions that meet specific needs in the market.
The OpenText Partner Network is active in 150 countries around the globe serving thousands of end customers with information management solutions.
“As generative AI moves on from the initial hype, the work to ensure a measurable return on investment begins,” said Darryl Gray, global vice president of software partner solutions at SAP. “SAP is committed to creating an enterprise AI ecosystem for the future that complements our world-class business applications suite and helps our customers unlock their full potential. We support the vision behind OpenText’s opentext.ai strategy and are confident that OpenText’s latest innovations will enable businesses of all sizes and industries to elevate their operations to unimaginable heights.”
The opentext.ai vision and strategy for AI focuses on helping organizations power and protect traditional operational and experience data while anticipating a new layer of learning data from generative AI and large language models (LLMs). Grounded in layering LLMs on top of private, secured data, opentext.ai allows for a full stack or modular approach to practical AI.
Organizations can take advantage of LLM-based capabilities within applications, or they can utilize OpenText Cloud API services to create the right sandbox to experiment with.
