“OpenText is honored to partner with the Canadian government to provide real-time analytics of online articles and social media to help citizens engage in and influence the debate,” commented Mark J. Barrenechea, Vice President, CEO and CTO of OpenText. “Our AI platform, OpenText Magellan, is designed to analyze unstructured content and transform it into quantifiable data.
