Closing OpenText eDOCS DM Series

'The Leader in Enterprise Information Management' is what the title of the www.opentext.com front page says. Well, it's hard to tell whether it's true or not, because OpenText is a very closed company: you won't find any open user or developer communities on their products; there is very little information on what their products are. What a potential customer is left to do is to trust the title and order a pre-sales presentation by calling the 1-800- number.

I really liked this blog post by OpenText CEO, especially that sentence in one of its first editions, where Mark Barrenechea said something like 'We at OpenText deeply care about security of our products', which had been then removed, possibly, because of the blog post was gathering low stars from readers...

In my opinion, each of these three security issues in OpenText EIM is sever, but if exploited in a combination, can put an enterprise on the knees. It's all up to a hacker's imagination and mercy.

OpenText: if you are reading my blog and have anything to say, the comments section is open. If you might have already fixed some or all issues described in this blog, please feel free to let me know and I'll be happy to add an update.

I wish OpenText customers the very best. I'm moving on and leaving eDOCS DM behind.
