“OpenText has industry-leading Information Management solutions that are tailored to mission-based organizations,” said Ms. Terrell, “There is a huge opportunity to bring these solutions to all levels of the US public sector, helping them to respond to the current moment by increasing digitization, strengthening their ability to work remotely, and providing critical services to citizens.”
