"Digital and AI allow executives to re-think business and fundamentally change go-to-market models, customer journeys, supply chains and how we innovate," said OpenText CEO and CTO Mark J. Barrenechea. "Customers need new technologies to digitize such as OpenText Release 16 and new AI technologies such as OpenText Magellan to automatically advance business. This is a generational shift, and at Enterprise World 2017, we will showcase the technologies and companies that will be the foundation of a digital future driven by insight."
OpenText Enterprise World 2017 welcomes hockey legend Wayne Gretzky on stage for a Fireside Chat with OpenText CEO and CTO Mark Barrenechea. Gretzky is widely considered to be the greatest hockey player of all-time. The legendary player holds or shares 61 NHL records and is the only player in the history of the NHL to have his jersey number retired by all member clubs. Seven months after he retired, Gretzky was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Canada, becoming the tenth and final player in Hockey Hall of Fame history to have the mandatory three-year waiting period for enshrinement waived by the Hall's board of directors. Gretzky will discuss his career and what drove him to success.
