Many enterprises have fully extracted value from their structured information (ERP systems) and are now transferring their budgets to EIM. OpenText began in the late â80s as a University of Waterloo research project to digitize all 60 million words of the Oxford Dictionary â and make them searchable (thus, the meaning behind âOpenTextâ). During that process something happened that would change the world: the Internetâs first search engine technology was created. OpenText incorporated in 1991 and the new search engine technology it invented was soon adopted by Yahoo!, one of its first customers. This was the first of many innovations that would lead the company beyond search and ultimately, into the world of EIM.
