OpenText Unveils AI Platform To Rival IBM Watson At A Fraction Of The Cost

Not many tech CEO's have the bravado to stand before an audience of their most loyal customers and promise them a game-changing a product, claiming that it will blow a ground-breaking technology like IBM Watson away. But that is exactly what OpenText CEO Mark Barrenechea did just over a year ago. Today, standing before an audience of more than 5000 gathered at Enterprise World in Toronto, Barrenechea delivered the goods. OpenText Magellan is a cognitive computing platform that provides users with machine-assisted decision making, automation, and business optimization at a price they can afford. Magellan was built to deliver actionable insights and intelligence from big data, big content, information streaming from sensors, the Internet of Things and more.
