New FedRAMP authorized solution provides
government organizations a simpler way to deliver IT services
WATERLOO, ON, Sept. 11,
2024 /CNW/ -- OpenText (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTEX)
today announced it has received authorization for the OpenText IT
Management Platform (ITMX) from the Federal Risk and Authorization
Management Program (FedRAMP®), advancing OpenText's commitment to
providing comprehensive and modern, government-compliant and secure
cloud solutions. With ITMX, government agencies can reduce Tier 1
support costs with a full-featured IT service management (ITSM)
platform that is less complex and costly to deploy and manage than
competitors, while accelerating application delivery through AI and
automation.
Public sector organizations face a number of significant
challenges when delivering IT services including a reliance on
aging legacy systems, high service demands and expectations, as
well as resource and budget constraints. According to a survey by
Forrester Research, 78% of public sector organizations consider
ITSM solutions crucial for delivering on their digital
transformation goals. Implementing advanced ITSM solutions helps
streamline operations, reduce downtime, and enhance the overall
effectiveness of IT systems by providing structured frameworks for
managing incidents, problems, and changes. This all results in
improved service quality and response times, which are crucial for
meeting the high expectations of public service users.
Additionally, effective IT service management helps in optimizing
resource use and minimizing costs, making it a valuable investment
for maintaining transparency and accountability in government
operations.
OpenText ITMX includes Service Management Automation X (SMAX),
Asset Management X (AMX), Universal Discovery and CMDB (UCMDB), and
Project and Portfolio Management (PPM). United States federal agencies can feel
confident using the OpenText solution to deliver modern user
services, increase IT productivity and reduce risks and costs.
"The availability of FedRAMP authorized IT service
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 IT service
management to federal agencies while adhering to ever-tightening
and constantly changing security requirements."
OpenText partner Carahsoft is a top government IT solutions
provider, supporting public sector organizations across federal,
state and local government agencies and the education and
healthcare markets. Carahsoft is a distributor of ITMX and other
OpenText products and services.
"The biggest challenge for government agencies to achieve their
digital potential is security concerns," said Craig P. Abod, Carahsoft President. "With the
FedRAMP fully authorized stamp, U.S. federal agencies can take
advantage of the superior user experiences, advanced AI-based
capabilities and industry-best cloud discovery offered by OpenText
ITMX."

- Single intuitive self-service portal for IT Service Management,
AI-driven support, and a mobile app for empowering users and
reducing service desk costs.

technology-agnostic workflow and process automation to boost IT

In addition to ITMX, two other OpenText products, Fortify on
