Promising figures at OpenText

OpenText is hiring on the back of a promising start to the 2021 fiscal year. It had total revenues of $804m, CEO and CTO Mark J Barrenechea said, which represents an increase of 15.4pc year-over-year.

The company’s cloud services and subscriptions were its highest earners, totalling $341m in revenue. These achievements, Barrenechea said, position OpenText “very well for future cloud growth and market share gains”.
