WATERLOO, Ontario -- OpenText(TM) (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTC), a global leader in Enterprise Information Management (EIM), today announced it has added new analytics capabilities for OpenText Trading Grid, the world's leading B2B Integration network, powering many of the largest global 2000 supply chains. Enhancing Trading Grid's analytics capabilities will provide companies with the business process insights they need to make data-driven decisions that will increase their supply chains' effectiveness.



As companies have automated their B2B business processes and begun conducting transactions electronically, they require visibility into the information flowing throughout their supply chain to speed decision-making, respond quickly to changing customer and market demands, and optimize their business processes.



"Armed with business insight, companies can be agile and responsive to increase their competitiveness in the marketplace," said Muhi Majzoub, senior vice president of engineering, OpenText.

"The poor quality and fragmentation of data has hindered organizations from generating accurate analytics based on the current state and priorities in the supply chain," finds Gartner Analyst Noha Tohamy(1). "Supply chain organizations are grappling with how to mature their analytics capabilities to support digital business and reap return on investment."



With a comprehensive suite of business applications to enable the supply chain, Trading Grid offers messaging and B2B Integration services on-premises and via the cloud enabling any-to-any transactions for small to large trading partners.
