Out of the Autonomy Frying Pan and into the OpenText Fire? < Real Story Group Blog

Another timely Tony Byrne reality check
"Perhaps a bigger issue is that OpenText suffers from many of the same underlying diseases as Autonomy.  To be sure, OpenText has not been run by a megalomaniac, and I've never heard any hint of financial or stock manipulation at the Canadian ECM vendor.  Nonetheless, like Autonomy, OpenText is fundamentally a roll-up company, focused more on buying smaller vendors than developing and integrating those systems into a more coherent whole.  This can bring short-term returns, but I believe is a highly suspect long-term strategy for customers. "
