New FedRAMP authorized solution provides government organizations a simpler way to deliver IT services
WATERLOO, ON, Sept. 11, 2024 /CNW/ — OpenText (NASDAQ: OTEX, TSX: OTEX) today announced it has received authorization for the OpenText IT Management Platform (ITMX) from the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®), advancing OpenText’s commitment to providing comprehensive and modern, government-compliant and secure cloud solutions. With ITMX, government agencies can reduce Tier 1 support costs with a full-featured IT service management (ITSM) platform that is less complex and costly to deploy and manage than competitors, while accelerating application delivery through AI and automation.
Public sector organizations face a number of significant challenges when delivering IT services including a reliance on aging legacy systems, high service demands and expectations, as well as resource and budget constraints. According to a survey by Forrester Research, 78% of public sector organizations consider ITSM solutions crucial for delivering on their digital transformation goals. Implementing advanced ITSM solutions helps streamline operations, reduce downtime, and enhance the overall effectiveness of IT systems by providing structured frameworks for managing incidents, problems, and changes. This all results in improved service quality and response times, which are crucial for meeting the high expectations of public service users. Additionally, effective IT service management helps in optimizing resource use and minimizing costs, making it a valuable investment for maintaining transparency and accountability in government operations.
OpenText ITMX includes Service Management Automation X (SMAX), Asset Management X (AMX), Universal Discovery and CMDB (UCMDB), and Project and Portfolio Management (PPM). United States federal agencies can feel confident using the OpenText solution to deliver modern user services, increase IT productivity and reduce risks and costs.
