Under the contract, New South Wales government departments will be able to directly purchase Open Text solutions. The initial three-year contract also includes a possible extension to five years.

New South Wales government departments will now benefit from Open Text’s integrated electronic document and records management system (EDRMS) features, which include provision for document management, records management, advanced workflow, collaboration, archiving and imaging, digital asset management, business process management, web content management and information search and retrieval, said Open Text.

Greg Mennie, public sector sales director for Australia at Open Text, said: We are delighted to have been selected for contract panel status by the New South Wales government as well as the common user agreement for EDRMS in Western Australia.
