The future of work is here — and it’s intelligent. In this keynote, discover how AI-infused OpenText Content Services transforms the way organizations capture, connect, and control their information. From automating workflows to unlocking hidden insights, AI turns your content into a strategic powerhouse — boosting productivity, ensuring compliance, and sparking innovation. It’s not just content management. It’s content intelligence — faster, smarter, and ready for what’s next.
As organizations increasingly adopt autonomous agents to streamline operations, enhance decision‑making, and accelerate innovation, the need for trusted identity, security, and governance has become paramount. Autonomous agents—whether operating within enterprise workflows, distributed ecosystems, or AI‑driven cyber environments—must be verifiably authenticated, continuously monitored, and governed with precision to prevent misuse, drift, or compromise.
Every organization is racing to integrate AI into their applications. But with this rush comes an entirely new class of security vulnerabilities, including prompt injection, data poisoning, and excessive agency. At the same time, vibe coding is enabling anyone to create applications faster than security teams can keep up. This session examines the dual role of AI in application security: as an attack vector and as our most powerful defense. Discover how Fortify harnesses LLMs for intelligent vulnerability auditing, automated remediation, and natural language security workflows, matching the pace of AI-driven development.

This session explores how its modular architecture breaks down silos, streamlines operations, and ensures optimized, compliant content is delivered through the right channel at the right time. Learn how Experience Cloud strengthens loyalty, accelerates digital transformation, and powers seamless, scalable engagement across the customer lifecycle—from acquisition to retention.
Wondering what the future of IT operations looks like in an era of agentic AI, increasingly complex environments, and cost-cutting demands? Wonder no more. We're here to go beyond ITOps limits with OpenText™ Observability and Service Management. It’s not just about monitoring and tickets—it’s about connecting everything with composable flexibility, automating intelligently with AI that builds trust, and getting ahead of problems proactively. In this session, you’ll learn how to escape platform management and focus on outcomes, while delivering answers to users and agents faster without any loss of quality. We’ll show how to turn configuration limits into clarity—because you can’t manage what you don’t know—and how to reduce incidents before they happen. You’ll also see how service can expand across the enterprise to deliver more value in more places. It’s time to stop managing the madness and start leading with confidence. Say goodbye to chaos and hello to limitless IT operations.
Every escaped defect costs trust. Some cost millions. Audit fatigue, tool sprawl, and broken test cycles have long been treated as the cost of doing business. It’s time to rewrite that equation. In this strategy-forward session, see how OpenText DevOps Cloud puts agentic AI to work—generating tests, predicting defect leakage, and enforcing compliance across 250+ pipelines, from GitHub to SAP. You’ll get a front-row view of autonomous test bots, stability intelligence, and flow optimization—all running inside your policy guardrails. No rebuilds. No retooling. Just safer, smarter shipping. And a look at what’s next: fully autonomous build-test-secure loops that deliver clean code, continuously—without the firefighting.

In this breakout session, brought to you together with our partners One Fox and Capgemini, you learn from two innovative customers who reimagined the way they work by combining the OpenText Content Platform and the OpenText AppWorks Process Platform — together known as OpenText DigiGov. Discover how they streamlined operations, boosted efficiency, and gained deeper insights by seamlessly connecting content with intelligent process automation.
From faster decision-making to smarter compliance, these stories will show how DigiGov turns information into action — and action into measurable results.
Enterprises navigating modern digital transformation require the flexibility to operate seamlessly across on‑premises systems, private clouds, and SaaS environments without compromising security or compliance. As identity becomes the new control plane, organizations must adopt IAM strategies that support hybrid IT while enabling rapid innovation, consistent governance, and resilient cyber defense.
DevSecOps is easy to talk about and hard to implement. Many DevSecOps initiatives fail not just because of tools, but because of people, process, and timing. Based on hands-on experience with large enterprise organizations, this talk shares the best practices that consistently drive adoption and impact. The goal is about making DevSecOps stick for the long term, not just launching it.
Join this session for a candid conversation on what it really takes to scale application security in a large and regulated environment. In this interview, Herbert Geers sits down with Jon Taylor, to share practical insights from ABN AMRO’s AppSec journey as a Fortify customer.

In an era of accelerating business expectations and rising risk, organizations must balance agility, compliance, and visibility across teams, tools, and pipelines. Quality can no longer be treated as a tick-the-box exercise; it must act as a strategic accelerator embedded throughout the software delivery lifecycle.
This session looks at how a platform-based delivery approach combined with innovative AI capabilities supports day-to-day governance, traceability, and quality control across complex environments. We explore how teams can improve delivery outcomes by identifying risk earlier, maintaining consistent quality without adding friction, and aligning developers, testers, and product owners around trusted, shared delivery data.
Rather than bolting point tools together, this session shows how a platform-led strategy turns quality from a delivery constraint into a competitive differentiator, supporting team autonomy while maintaining enterprise-grade governance and control.
Modern software delivery calls for automation that is not only fast, but intelligent, adaptive, and insightful. Traditional scripting and manual test efforts cannot keep pace with today’s expectations for continuous delivery, performance at scale, and compliance readiness. This breakout focuses on how modern and intelligent functional and performance testing changes the way teams approach automation in practice, significantly lowering manual effort, shortening feedback cycles, and focusing engineering capacity on higher-value work. Through practical examples, you’ll see how intelligent automation enables teams to validate application functionality and performance earlier and more consistently, helping delivery teams move faster with greater confidence, without increasing risk or overhead.
