Open Text (TM) (NASDAQ:OTEX)(NASDAQ: TSX:)(NASDAQ:OTC), a global leader in enterprise content management (ECM), today announced plans for its fall conference Open Text Content World. Formerly known as LiveLinkUp, this year’s expanded conference program will reflect the company’s singular focus on ECM as the largest independent provider of ECM solutions in the world. Open Text Content World will take place November 18-20, 2008 at the JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida.
This event will bring together leading content experts from across the industry, including customers, partners, consultants, analysts and Open Text executives and staff, to network with peers, and discuss the latest developments and trends in ECM including Enterprise and Web 2.0, eDiscovery, and compliance. Attendees will gain a first-hand account of Open Text’s long-term strategy and product roadmap.
“With Open Text Content World, we’re creating a program to harness the collective experience of our employees, customers, and partners and the power of ECM to transform their organizations,” said John Shackleton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Open Text. “We want to help customers gain maximum value from content, wherever it resides, to make their organizations more efficient, reduce costs and improve competitiveness during these uncertain economic times. This is not just an Open Text event, but an industry event where we will collaborate, exchange ideas and shape the future of ECM.”
Conference-Within-a-Conference
In addition to a general session keynotes by Open Text executives and other industry leaders, Open Text Content World will feature a conference-within-a-conference program that will cater to the specific interests of each customer or partner. Attendees will be able to tailor their conference experience: product-specific tracks are available in the morning, with broader ECM business solution views offered in the afternoon. Attendees can follow an entire track, or pick and choose specific technical, product, and business sessions.
