Gulf Warehousing Company (GWC) has announced a new strategic partnership with OpenText, a Canadian software company engaged in enterprise information management (EIM).

This collaboration, valued at $2.2mn over five years, "marks a significant step" in transforming document scanning and information management for GWC’s clients, providing them with unparalleled visibility and a modern, scalable solution.

Through this partnership, GWC will leverage OpenText’s cutting-edge xECM (Extended ECM) and Aviator (GenAI) solutions to enhance record management for its clients and streamline internal processes.

The collaboration will deliver AI-driven, Google Cloud-based information management systems for secure and efficient data handling, advanced scanning capabilities tailored to meet customer-specific requirements and seamless integration of enterprise data with leading platforms such as SAP Business Technology Platform.

GWC Acting Group CEO Matthew Kearns commented, “This partnership underscores GWC’s dedication to providing innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients.

“By adopting advanced, AI-driven technologies, we are not only improving our industry-leading solutions but also driving operational efficiency and supporting Qatar’s digital transformation goals in alignment with Qatar National Vision 2030.”

George Schembri, Regional Sales Vice-President at OpenText, commented: “We are excited to collaborate with GWC to deliver industry-leading document and information management solutions. Together, we aim to empower GWC’s clients with cutting-edge tools that unlock the value of their data, enhance efficiency, and foster enterprise-wide connectivity.”

The partnership reinforces GWC’s role as a catalyst for innovation and its commitment to supporting its clients with superior technologies that advance their business goals.

By combining OpenText’s expertise with GWC’s logistics leadership, this initiative strengthens the foundation for a more connected, efficient, and forward-thinking future.

The announcement marks GWC’s latest investment in innovative technologies to enhance performance and drive value for its customers. In August 2024, GWC acquired the world’s fastest scanner that handles 1,200 images per minute.

A significant addition to its advanced storage facilities that ensures maximum security with automated detection and fire suppression systems. Backed by PRISM Membership, ISO, and ISMS certifications, GWC delivers top-tier, turnkey solutions for various industries’ records and asset management requirements.

For OpenText, this new partnership adds to its growing presence in the Middle East, collaborating with leading organisations across diverse sectors to deliver tailored solutions.
