Business Network solutions establish the necessary digital backbone for streamlined connectivity, secure collaboration and realtime business intelligence across an expanding network of internal systems, cloud applications, trading partner systems and connected devices. OpenText™ Integration Managed Services combines industry leading technology with expert people and proven processes to enable customers to focus on their core business, not data integration and management complexity.
What is a business network?
A business network is a cloud platform that connects and manages all data, within the enterprise and outside the firewall. Securely connecting data with people, systems and things enables streamlined business processes and delivers new insights and value.
Business networks lay the necessary foundation for turning data into actionable insights. Delivered as a cloud service, they enable data integration, data management and secure data exchange across an increasingly complex network of on-premises and cloud applications, connected devices and business partners or customers.
