About Open Text Corporation

Open Text Corporation is a Canadian multinational enterprise-software company headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario. The firm develops and sells information-management software organised around content services, business-network and B2B integration, digital-experience, AI and analytics (including its Aviator AI portfolio), application modernisation and connectivity, cybersecurity, and IT operations management. Customers include enterprises, governments, and public-sector organisations across financial services, healthcare and life sciences, manufacturing, retail, media, energy, and the public sector. The company was founded in 1991 by Tim Bray, Frank Tompa, and Gaston Gonnet, drawing on text-search technology developed at the University of Waterloo for the Oxford English Dictionary digitisation project. OpenText went public on the Nasdaq in 1996 and is dual-listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and Nasdaq under the ticker OTEX. Mark J. Barrenechea serves as vice-chair, chief executive officer, and chief technology officer. OpenText has grown substantially through acquisition, including the purchases of Hummingbird, Vignette, GXS, Carbonite, Documentum (from Dell EMC), and most notably Micro Focus International in 2023, which added Micro Focus's IT-operations, application-delivery, security (including the ArcSight, Voltage, and Fortify lines), and analytics portfolio to OpenText's information-management business. OpenText employs more than 23,000 people globally with offices in more than 35 countries. India operations include large engineering and operations centres in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, and Pune that support product engineering, customer support, professional services, and global operations across the OpenText portfolio. Indian fresher and early-career hiring at OpenText targets software-engineering, quality-assurance, cloud-engineering, cybersecurity, customer-support, and professional-services roles, with applications routed through careers.opentext.com.
