New FedRAMP authorized solution enhances federal
agencies' ability to deliver a seamless total citizen
experience
WATERLOO, ON, June 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ --
OpenText™ (NASDAQ: OTEX), (TSX: OTEX), the information
company™, today announced it has achieved "fully authorized" status
by the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)
for its Cloud for Government solution in the United States which now includes OpenText
Extended ECM and OpenText AppWorks, two core products within the
OpenText Content Cloud portfolio. The FedRAMP program promotes the
adoption of secure cloud services across the federal government by
providing a standardized approach to security authorization for
cloud service offerings.
Modernization of legacy systems and ever-evolving cyber security
threats are among the challenges often faced by government
agencies. These are critical to delivering a "total citizen
experience," one of several key initiatives driven by the U.S.
Government to digitize its services and provide citizens with
transparent and convenient access to information and services
anytime, anywhere. Leveraging cloud-based information management,
federal agencies can modernize applications, strengthen
cybersecurity, digitize records, provide exceptional citizen
experience, and migrate more workloads safely to the cloud. FedRAMP
plays a crucial role in enabling the adoption of cloud computing
within the federal government while ensuring the security and
protection of sensitive data.
"The availability of FedRAMP authorized information management
cloud solutions from OpenText validates our commitment to helping
U.S. government agencies digitally transform how they work to
deliver an intelligent total citizen experience," said Muhi
Majzoub, EVP and Chief Product Officer at OpenText. "As an
important step in the government's modernization journey, the
solution extends the modern, cloud-optimized benefits of
information management to federal agencies while adhering to
ever-tightening and constantly changing security requirements."
With OpenText Cloud for Government, federal agencies can
automate workflows and manage all forms of content throughout the
entire content lifecycle — digitizing record files, creating a
content ecosystem and gaining a complete view of content across all
channels. While also strengthening security, compliance, and
control, Cloud for Government will enable federal agencies to
deliver a faster and more transparent service. Cloud for
Government's information management and low-code process automation
will enable federal agencies to work and collaborate seamlessly.
The solution combines content storage and document organization
with archiving, content management, and imaging in a
FedRAMP-compliant cloud environment.
"Government agencies have been wrestling with content management
challenges for years," said Adelaide
O'Brien, Research Vice President, IDC Government Insights.
"Having OpenText information management and process automation
tools authorized by FedRAMP provides government CIOs new options
for high-security, low-risk flexibility to accelerate their
migration to the cloud."
The Cloud for Government solution offers government agencies a
bundled solution to deliver digital cloud services. This
includes:
- Extended ECM is an enterprise content management solution that
securely governs the information lifecycle by integrating with
leading enterprise applications, such as Microsoft® 365. Bringing
content and processes together, Extended ECM provides access to
information when and where it is needed, improves decision-making
and drives operational effectiveness.
- AppWorks is a low-code development platform for building smart,
engaging and easy-to-deploy process automation and dynamic case
management applications. AppWorks helps re-engineer business
