Enterprise scale, sovereign delivery

OpenText is not a startup entering the cloud market — it's one of Canada's largest technology companies applying sovereign delivery to its existing enterprise platform. Nearly 1,000 Canadian organizations already run AI-powered applications on OpenText's cloud. The sovereign configuration ensures these workloads remain within Canadian jurisdiction, processed on Canadian infrastructure by Canadian personnel.

AI sovereignty

OpenText's Aviator AI platform is available in a sovereign configuration hosted entirely in Canada through the TELUS partnership. This matters because AI workloads process large volumes of organizational data — documents, communications, business records — through inference models. If those models run on foreign infrastructure, the data they process may be subject to foreign jurisdiction. OpenText's sovereign AI offering keeps the entire AI pipeline within Canadian borders.

Procurement readiness

OpenText's private cloud solutions are available through existing PSPC procurement channels and have undergone full technical evaluation. For government organizations and regulated industries, this eliminates the procurement friction that often delays sovereign cloud adoption. The platform supports compliance with data residency and sovereignty requirements while enabling organizations to modernize applications and adopt cloud services.
