OpenText (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in Enterprise Information Management (EIM), today announced that it has acquired Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leading developer of viewing, annotation, redaction and publishing commercial software. As a valued OpenText partner for more than a decade, IGC technologies will be further integrated into the ECM product portfolio and extended into other OpenText Suites.
With the acquisition of IGC, OpenText strengthens its capabilities for secure access to any content, on any device, on premises and in the cloud. Having already deployed more than 250 joint customers and more than 300,000 seats of Brava! for OpenText Content Server, OpenText can now extend the reach of IGC offerings to more OpenText customers globally.
“With a proven record of success as an OpenText partner, we are excited to welcome the IGC team into our company,” said Mark J. Barrenechea, president and chief executive officer of OpenText. “As customers make the shift to the digital workplace and the cloud, document viewing and mark-up on any device will enable organizations to leverage their information and drive growth and success in their organizations.”
Founded in 1990, IGC offers a full suite of powerful, proven software that helps organizations securely view, share, redact and transform documents, images including CAD drawings, for more efficient collaboration, better control and increased productivity. Integrated with the most prevalent enterprise content management (ECM) systems and leading eDiscovery applications, IGC products focus on security as well as helping with common requirements in complex document centric processes. Post-acquisition, OpenText is looking forward to growing the relationship with its new ECM, Engineering Solutions and eDiscovery partners and their customers.
