Opentext has acquired more companies. One example is NetIQ Identity Governance software company - well admittedly this was part of the Microfocus acquistition. It would be great if the text in this Wikipedia article mentioned this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.75.61.21 (talk) 13:14, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Opentext has acquired way more than just NetIQ since 1991. Should every single entity be listed in the Wikipedia article? Scooter de (talk) 14:28, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

I have updated the article with the goal of presenting OpenText as an encyclopedic subject rather than as a company résumé or promotional profile. The changes were organized to show the company's development over time: its origins at the University of Waterloo, its early focus on search and document-management software, its growth through enterprise information management, and its later expansion through acquisitions such as Hummingbird, Documentum, Carbonite/Webroot, Micro Focus, and the subsequent divestiture of the Application Modernization and Connectivity business. The intent was not to simply list products, executives, or acquisitions, but to explain how those facts fit into the broader evolution of the company. I used the available sources to describe OpenText's shifts in business focus, market position, and product scope in a neutral, chronological way. Where possible, I avoided résumé-style language and framed the company's acquisitions and business changes as part of the article's historical narrative. Archives: 2014 · 2015 · 2017 · 2018 Several long-standing discussions in those archives are addressed by the current revision.
