CHICAGO, Feb. 14 -- Open Text(TM) (NASDAQ:OTEX)(NASDAQ: TSX:)(NASDAQ:OTC), a global leader in enterprise content management (ECM), today introduced Exceed Freedom(TM) 2008, the newest member of the Exceed(R) product family from Hummingbird, the Open Text Connectivity Solutions Group. Exceed Freedom is an add-on to Exceed 2008, utilized by millions of users in Global 2000 organizations to access their mission-critical UNIX applications.
A first in the UNIX Connectivity market, the innovative design of Exceed Freedom 2008 empowers users to collaborate on projects in real-time.
