Open Text partners with Fuji Xerox

Victorian Government could benefit first.

Open Text has partnered with Fuji Xerox Australia to jointly market an end-to-end solution for content capture, delivery, processing and archiving.

The joint solution combined Open Text's eDOCS document management software with Fuji Xerox multi-function printing technology.

The companies said in a statement that they were already working together on an undisclosed Victorian Government project as part of the alliance.

The project bridged "the gap between standalone devices and document management", they said.

Open Text's director of channels Chris Peterson said the partnership would "help our installed base extend the benefits of their Open Text investment".

"Many companies still have standalone fax machines that operate on separate phone lines and require middleware applications to integrate with business systems," Peterson said.

"At the same time, people typically think of document management as a standalone desktop application.

"By partnering with Fuji Xerox, we can offer organisations a comprehensive solution for the integrated management of business-critical documents from capture to eventual archival or destruction."
