Firstly, lets take a look at the Terms of the Acquisition (all figures approximate)
... all very interesting, but what might it mean to us as customers?
So if you are a client of either Opentext or Micro Focus it would seem timely to review your licensing position in detail, ie. collect:
If you detect any discrepancies deal with them as a priority (remembering of course that there are likely footprints across your IT landscape over a good period of time), so remediate knowingly and accordingly. Also review your renewal dates and plans - if it falls into or around Q1/Q2 2023 it might serve well to request a renewal quote early to use as a comparison should the actual transaction occur under any new conditions or contracts. And as we've said before, keep an active watch on the Account Exec's/Managers you have with these two vendors - where changes are communicated it can be a pretty reliable indicator that there might be an audit letter in the post. So once again, a market shift that means its time to review, validate, confirm and ... prepare!
