OpenText surges ahead with EMC acquisition

OpenText’s acquisition of Dell EMC’s content division conveys its commitment to its information-focused ideology as it attempts to assert its lead in the enterprise content management (ECM) market. As it stands, EMC has continued to be a perpetual and aging adversary for ECM competitors and one that has been neglected even by its own leadership. If OpenText can maintain its current momentum by absorbing EMC’s competitively successful industry-specific offerings as quickly as possible, it stands to shut out a significant portion of the market’s remaining fiscal real estate.
