Behind each product we mention the version numbers, the most recent versions are mentioned first.

Can you easily determine the licensing costs of OpenText Gupta, OpenText Business Network and OpenText Big Data?

In many cases, it can be difficult to determine the licensing costs of OpenText ETL & Data Integration because it depends on the country, the number of users (also consider the amount of CPUs for server versions), the connectors to data sources, and at what point in the year you request a quote. If you do this a few weeks before the end of OpenText’s fiscal quarter, you may be in for a decent discount. As part of a cloud-first strategy, it makes sense running the software in the cloud. You only have to pay for what you actually use. The purchase cost of OpenText Gupta, OpenText Business Network and OpenText Big Data may not be the most important costs, but maintenance and support of course do limit your future investment scope.

What makes OpenText ETL & Data Integration innovative

In our study, we see that OpenText in the field of ETL & Data Integration software has several specific features which may be the deciding factor in purchasing. This makes OpenText Solutions more or less unique: native cloud, bulk processing, big data processing, enterprise service bus and oauth authentication.
