I have used OpenText CMS for about three years to have better engagement online with my customers. Opentext WEM has been critical to our journey as the business grows to help us innovate better. Migrating to the cloud with Opentext CMS has helped us deliver more efficiently microservices and operations in a highly scalable environment.
  • Easier management of websites.
  • Integrates well with Portal to deliver news, working like a blog.
  • It's unable to connect user accounts so that accounts are set and utilize a single sign-in.
OpenText WEM has helped us manage our websites with great efficiency for quite a long time now. They have comprehensive documentation and guides on forums to help you with integration and upgrading OpenText connect accounts. We've integrated WEM with Portal and TempoSocial to get out-of-the-box features like delivering news like a blog and administration of workflows from the duo package.

  • Interested internal and external readership base reflected by the comments on the blog page, and social media posts.
  • Conceptualization of creative themes for events and creation of assets ranging from email signatures and program books to micro sites and registration platforms
  • UI audit of new platforms and revamp in line with findings for enhanced UX; creation of demo videos for customer pitches
We have choosen OpenText WEM against other vendors because :
1. Helped client reinforce brand image through unique design language and templatization of collaterals, consistent messaging, and regular competitor benchmarking.
2. Enables lead generation through high-quality gated collateral, product videos, etc.
3. Senior management and sales lead meet client regularly for project review meetings and feedback on engagement
