Three recent innovations of OpenText Solutions tools and the version history

Recently, we see a positive evolution when it comes to ETL & Data Integration functionality and support for operating systems and connectivity. The latest novelties are in the areas of data quality management > data quality framework, data replication > data synchronization > automated data synchronization, and data integration > data warehouse > dimension tables > date dimension.

We investigated OpenText’s latest updates of its complete product portfolio. Below you can see the successive versions of all the known versions of the ETL & Data Integration products of OpenText:

  • OpenText Active Catalogue: 888
  • OpenText BizManager: 2023 16.6
  • OpenText Business Network: 2024 20.2
  • OpenText Contivo: 2023
  • OpenText InfoArchive: 2024 2023 21.4
  • OpenText Magellan: 2024
  • OpenText Solutions: 3.0

Behind each product, we mention the version numbers, the most recent versions are mentioned first.

Can you easily determine the licensing costs of OpenText Gupta, OpenText InfoArchive, and OpenText Business Network?

In many cases, it can be difficult to determine the licensing costs of OpenText ETL & Data Integration because it depends on the country, the number of users (also consider the amount of CPUs for server versions), the connectors to data sources, and at what point in the year you request a quote. If you do this a few weeks before the end of OpenText’s fiscal quarter, you may be in for a decent discount. As part of a cloud-first strategy, it makes sense to run the software in the cloud. You only have to pay for what you actually use. The purchase cost of OpenText Gupta, OpenText InfoArchive, and OpenText Business Network may not be the most important costs, but maintenance and support of course do limit your future investment scope.

What makes OpenText ETL & Data Integration innovative

In our study, we see that OpenText in the field of ETL & Data Integration software has several specific features which may be the deciding factor in purchasing. This makes OpenText Solutions more or less unique: MDG, vendor master data, big data processing, automated data synchronization, and enterprise service bus.

The advantages and disadvantages of OpenText Solutions

In the next paragraphs, we name all the pros and cons of OpenText ETL & Data Integration, OpenText Gupta, OpenText InfoArchive, and OpenText Business Network, et cetera. This overview and scores are not rigid: OpenText can currently work on improving current functions and adding features that meet specific customer needs (such as support for data cleansing, amazon redshift, quickbooks, star schema, dataops, GIT, data virtualization, data marts, data quality rules, and CDC). It may also be that a feature has not yet been adequately described.
