Isn't OpenText where second-rate enterprise software goes to die?

OT employee here ..

We have some of the largest enterprise software repos around. And we have some of the strongest enterprise relationships around with top tier companies in the world. Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what their talking about.

Couldn't agree more. I'm continually disappointed in the way enterprise focused vendors deal with their customers.

The big shops have managed to find the optimal way to influence decision makers enough to overcome the damage done to the customer as a whole.
