Transform safety, operations, and business execution with information reimagined as cloud, cybersecurity and AI converge

The world is in a race for energy and essential commodities such as water, minerals, metals, and chemicals that power economies and sustain life. As global demand intensifies and operational complexity increases, the energy and resources sector faces a defining moment to innovate. This asset-intensive sector—spanning utilities, oil & gas, chemicals, metals and mining, and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPCs)—must evolve rapidly to ensure safe, reliable, and resilient operations.

At OpenText, we believe that with the convergence of cloud, security, and AI, anything that moves can now be autonomous—including the flow of information securely across and beyond organizational boundaries. Our new Energy & Resources industry solutions hub is designed to help organizations in this sector explore and reimagine how information management technologies and best practices can transform operations and the enterprise and ensure the safe delivery of critical commodities to the world.

We’re inspired at OpenText—and I’m personally inspired, having been an operational user of information within this industry—to reimagine what information can do to elevate human potential across every department that directly or indirectly supports any point along the asset lifecycle.

Information Management Innovations

In the energy and resources sector, information is more than just data—it’s a critical asset that drives safety, efficiency, and execution. The Innovations section of our Energy and Resources Solutions Hub explores how organizations can reimagine information across complex, asset-intensive industries such as utilities, oil & gas, chemicals, mining, and EPCs.

Information includes any important data, at any stage, processed by humans or machines. To reimagine is to think about something in a completely different way—whether it’s business goals, processes, or how information flows across a department, an entire organization, and beyond, between you, your customers, and your partners.

This Innovations section highlights how the OpenText portfolio of solutions supports the future knowledge worker—empowering them to work smarter, safer, and more efficiently.

This section highlights how OpenText delivers solutions across key industries within the energy and resources sector—including utilities, oil & gas, chemicals, metals and mining, and EPCs. While these industries share common characteristics—such as being asset-intensive, facing safety hazards, navigating regulatory compliance, and managing operational risk—each also encounters unique information challenges. OpenText provides information management solutions to address the specific needs of companies in these industries, which is one reason why we serve hundreds of organizations across each of these industries in their information management journey.
