Considering Moving to the Cloud
If you’re thinking about moving to the cloud, it’s worth exploring OpenText’s cloud releases. These options offer a seamless transition and leverage the latest cloud technologies. Consider upgrading to OpenText Cloud Native (Cloud Edition) for a private cloud environment hosted on platforms like OpenText Cloud, Azure, or AWS. Or opt for the Core release, a public cloud SaaS subscription. While both options offer the flexibility and scalability you need to digitally transform your business, it’s critical to understand the pros and cons of both approaches to make a well-informed decision. And since we at Ecodocx don’t resell OpenText software licenses, we are able to provide objective professional advice on existing and potential future OpenText software investments with efficiency and innovation.
