The IDC MarketScape for MESCCN report evaluates multi-enterprise supply chain vendors success based on capability and business strategy.
According to the IDC MarketScape report,"As a proven vendor in the SCCN space, OpenText succeeds because of its scale, expertise, global reach, and focus on investment and growth. Manufacturers and retailers that depend on a proven solution and business partner to power their global supply chains and ensure business continuity select OpenText."
“Recent years have emphasized how critically important multi-enterprise supply chain commerce networks are to both the current and future supply chain,” said Simon Ellis, program vice president at IDC. “OpenText Business Network combines managed services and cloud-based supply chain applications to facilitate efficient, secure, and compliant collaboration between people, systems, and things providing a true foundation for establishing a future-proof digital backbone to support business growth and transformation initiatives.”
The report specifically notes the following about OpenText:
• Largest connected community with global scale and reach over 1 million companies connected to its network that collectively process over 26 billion transactions per year, with a combined value of $9 trillion in commerce per year;
• Integration depth and breadth, from adapters and native support for SAP to one-to-one application mapping, a library of more than 5,000 canonical maps, API-based and web services integration, and much more;
