OpenText (NASDAQ: OTEX), a global provider of information management solutions, has announced significant enhancements to its Private Cloud offerings, targeting enterprises operating in an increasingly regulated and fragmented digital landscape. The upgrades are designed to address growing enterprise needs for localized data control, sovereignty, and regulatory compliance, especially among multinationals navigating divergent legal frameworks across countries and regions.
As regulatory demands such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other national sovereignty laws tighten, organizations are under pressure to ensure that data remains within legal jurisdictions while maintaining operational efficiency. OpenText’s Private Cloud enables businesses to comply with these evolving standards by giving them complete authority over the storage, processing, and security of their data within chosen geographic boundaries.
OpenText operates a network of strategically located data centers in regions including Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Australia. These facilities empower customers to select data residency locations that align with their compliance obligations and industry-specific requirements. This is particularly critical for sectors with stringent data governance standards, such as finance, healthcare, energy, and public services.
OpenText CEO and CTO Mark J. Barrenechea emphasized the growing importance of localized digital control, stating, “Local platform control and data sovereignty are now a top technology and business priority for the world’s largest organizations. OpenText Private Cloud gives customers the confidence to innovate globally while respecting the legal and cultural expectations of every market they serve.”
End-to-End Encryption
The Private Cloud platform is tailored for regulated industries, offering single-tenant, dedicated environments with customizable deployment models to meet specific legal and operational mandates. Enhanced security features include end-to-end encryption and client-managed encryption keys. It also supports compliance with a wide range of international standards and frameworks, including HIPAA, ISO 27001, IRAP, and Protected B.
Additionally, OpenText Private Cloud is a core part of the broader OpenText Cloud ecosystem, which integrates capabilities across analytics, cybersecurity, AI, and content services. Customers can seamlessly bridge private cloud deployments with on-premises systems and OpenText’s public cloud services to enable hybrid or multi-cloud strategies.
Shannon Bell, Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer at OpenText, highlighted the practical value of the offering: “OpenText has been crucial in assisting us in navigating the complexities of data sovereignty as we expand into new markets. Our Private Cloud offering gives us the agility to scale globally while maintaining the trust of our customers and regulators locally.”
The announcement reinforces OpenText’s position as a key enabler of secure, compliant digital transformation for global enterprises operating across regulated markets.
