Waterloo, ON - 2009-07-15 - Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), today announced that Saint Michael's Medical Center, a regional tertiary care, teaching, and research center in Newark, New Jersey, has successfully implemented Open Text's Connectivity solution, HostExplorer®, to replace its existing terminal emulator. A member of the Open Text Connectivity family of products, HostExplorer helps to provide organizations with an easy way of protecting their investment in legacy data, while letting them benefit from the latest in desktop and web-based technologies.

Saint Michael's Medical Center has a reputation for combining state-of-the-art technology, the latest diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, cutting-edge research, and a network of highly qualified physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals, as well as for providing top-quality health-care services delivered with compassionate care. As a result, there is a tremendous need to keep its people, systems, and data connected to ensure 24/7 information flow in a time-sensitive environment. With HostExplorer, Saint Michael s was able to successfully replace its existing terminal emulation solution with lower acquisition costs, due to a flexible maintenance contract, and a fast learning curve that eliminated the need to retrain the entire organization.

"One of the great things about HostExplorer is its configurability. Upon installation, our IT department had difficulty addressing the administration of our previous system because they had to manage the profile and settings for every computer," said Herminio Navia, Director Clinical Applications, Information Technology and Services at Saint Michael's Medical Center. "Open Text's HostExplorer offering is an out-of-the-box solution that functions with minimal configuration and is much easier to deploy."

"More than ever, organizations have to acquire and retain solutions that have versatility, longevity and a solid reputation. It is for this reason that more organizations are reviewing their terminal emulator choices, opting to migrate their mainframe connectivity from SNA networks to IP networks," said Eugene Cherny, General Manager of Open Text's Connectivity solutions. "With HostExplorer, Saint Michael's Medical Center now has a modern solution that runs seamlessly in the background, while staff members continue their day-to-day tasks without any disruption at their workstations. Business carries on as usual in a critical sector of the medical industry where saving lives is paramount."

A secure web-to-host and PC-to-host solution, HostExplorer facilitates access to business critical information stored on legacy systems, such as Mainframes and AS/400. It offers a low-risk deployment strategy and a seamless integration path to companies that are considering moving away from their current emulation solutions.

Waterloo, ON - 2009-04-15 - Open Text (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), today announced the immediate availability of its latest Connectivity solution, Open Text SOCKS Client, an enterprise-grade SOCKS V4 and V5 client, that assists organizations to transparently and cost-effectively secure their enterprise content applications over TCIP/IP networks.

Protecting confidential and mission critical application content has become a strategic priority for many organizations these days. Unfortunately, many homegrown or vendor applications have not been built to operate with network firewalls and proxies forcing administrators to leave gaping holes in their security infrastructures. SOCKS is an industry standard security protocol that facilitates the routing of network traffic through firewalls and proxy servers. The Open Text SOCKS Client can dynamically "socks-enable" enterprise applications without requiring changes to their code. A rules-based engine allows administrators to decide which application traffic should be secured, instantly enabling it to traverse SOCKS proxies and firewalls.

Open Text SOCKS Client is an ideal solution for organizations that need a robust, commercially supported, enterprise-grade SOCKS client that makes it easier to allow their critical applications to traverse SOCKS proxies and firewalls. The solution can also be used by third-party vendors searching for an OEM package to support the SOCKS protocol in their products and solutions.

Open Text SOCKS Client offers the following functionalities:

• Dynamically secure network traffic without changing applications code
• Supports Windows Vista and 64-bit platforms
• Authentication through Microsoft Active Directory and Kerberos Encryption of network traffic using industry-standard GSSAPI
• Supports SOCKS V4 And V5 connections over TCP and UDP
• Built-in load-balancing and fail-over mechanisms
• Rules-based configuration engine and support for MSI-based deployment systems

"With our improved SOCKS Client, Open Text is taking a leading role in providing content security solutions to our enterprise customers," said Eugene Cherny, General Manager of Open Text's Connectivity solutions. "We are confident that the new features in this release will help organizations improve their security infrastructure, while preserving their investments in their enterprise applications."

Open Text SOCKS Client is available immediately. For more information, please visit: www.opentext.com/socks

With billions of dollars of annual losses attributed to security breaches, organizations are under increasing pressure from auditors and shareholders to step up their security efforts. Connectivity Secure Server is a high-performance server for Windows which offers SFTP file transfer and secure terminal sessions, as well as FIPS 140-2 validated encryption for securing network traffic.

Open Text commissioned The Tolly Group to compare Connectivity Secure Server against other secure shell server products. Key findings of the report include:

• Delivers the highest performance and maximum scalability of the three secure shell server products tested
• Costs up to 12X less to support 1,000 concurrent SFTP connections than rival products tested
• Completes 1,000 SFTP file transfer sessions from four PC clients on a single server, while other servers tested failed to scale properly
• Imposes less overhead on host server CPU than other products tested
• Uses 9X less server CPU memory than other products tested to complete 36MB file transfer to client

"Not all secure shell server products are created equal," said Kevin Tolly, founder of The Tolly Group. "Our testing shows Connectivity Secure Server consistently outperformed rival product offerings tested delivering superior processing speed by completing single file transfer up to 24X faster than the other two competitors at a fraction of the total cost."

"Our product was designed for our customers who are not willing to compromise between security, performance and cost to fulfill their connectivity needs," said Eugene Cherny, General Manager for connectivity solutions at Open Text. "Connectivity Secure Server follows the tradition of technology excellence and customer commitment which we started with Exceed® 20 years ago."

Genio offers a comprehensive solution for organizations to seamlessly integrate their content and data assets between multiple systems and processes. Leveraging the data integration capabilities of Genio, enterprises have gained measurable business benefits such as reduction in costs, increased reactivity to market changes as well as improved quality and usefulness of their business data.

New capabilities in Genio 7 include:

Out-of-the-box support for Web Services

Today's global, multi-faceted organizations are continuously faced with the challenge of integrating disparate systems with incompatible interfaces, data structures, and technologies. As agile organizations adopt a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) they realize that there's a significant issue that Web Services do not address: data-level compatibility.

Genio 7 fills this gap by extending its wide range of data integration and transformation functionality to include Web Services capability, thus allowing organizations to make a quantum leap in the benefits they reap out from their transition to SOA. With this new version of Genio, companies can seamlessly incorporate business data exposed via Web Services in their data integration processes. The Web Services support delivered by Genio 7 drastically reduces the level of effort required to integrate SOA-compliant business applications, saving companies the need to undertake costly integration projects. By extending the reach of their data integration processes to Web Services, organizations will improve data lineage and accountability, significantly enhancing the reliability and value of corporate information.

National Language and Unicode Support

In the increasingly global marketplace, companies expanding their reach are faced with the problem of managing international operations to align them with their newly established business processes. These projects offer significant challenges, particularly when attempting to integrate information in different languages.

By offering Full National Language and Unicode Support, Genio 7 removes the complexity of integrating data encoded in different character sets. This new functionality allows Genio customers to treat data equally regardless of its origin, accelerating business systems integration projects and facilitating the distribution and exploitation of data across the entire organization.

Improved Performance and Ease-of-Use

Now available as a native 64-bit application, Genio 7 further extends scalability and performance of the Genio line. In addition, the introduction of advanced wizards, enhanced search capabilities and new design facilities such as dynamic connection attributes will help organizations boost their speed and productivity when creating data integration projects.

"Getting through piles of data and information in an organization is no easy feat. As organizations evolve, they acquire new enterprise applications, operating systems, hardware platforms and databases, creating many islands of information across the enterprise," said Bill Forquer, Executive Vice President of Marketing at Open Text. "Genio 7 will enable easier integration and access to data and content across the globe, resulting in smarter and faster business decisions based on timely and accurate information."

Extends Open Text Content Services for Content and Data Integration

Open Text Content Services, announced at Open Text's recent user conference (http://www.opentext.com/news/pr.html?id=1960), provide foundational Web Services for Enterprise Library Services, Enterprise Process Services, and end user interface experience. With Genio 7, all Open Text customers can extend their ECM strategies to include Web Service based information sources across the enterprise.

"We are very pleased with the direction the product is taking under Open Text's leadership and look forward to the evolution of the product to better leverage its capabilities to address our content and data integration challenges."

Genio delivers a rich set of benefits that offers organizations significant and tangible return on investments. Genio was built on the foundation of four key principles of openness, flexibility, ease of use, and reusability, and decouples business processes from the complexity of the IT systems infrastructure, allowing organizations to better execute their agile business practices.

"The volume of data in companies today is exploding and organizations are in constant change with the demands of global competition," said Bill Forquer, Executive Vice President of Marketing at Open Text. "Companies need more powerful data integration tools that can help them quickly turn raw data into useful information. For over 10 years, some of the world's largest organizations have been leveraging Genio in mission critical applications. As market needs evolve to address the requirements of a more holistic approach to content and data integration, Genio will be in a leadership position to satisfy the most pressing challenges within these organizations."
