Headlining the release is the expansion of OpenText Core Content, a complete SaaS content services platform that will now have deeper integrations with Salesforce and Microsoft 365.

Metadata and search
OpenText is powering Intelligent Capture by adding next generation Information Extraction Engine (IEE) machine learning. It dramatically reduces setup costs, and provides more accurate document classification and data extraction, enriching meta data to improve the quality and value of content as it comes into the business. Customers also benefit from deeper text search and automated redaction in OpenText™ Intelligent Viewing, which extracts more data from imaged content.
