Enterprise software company OpenText has announced a new artificial intelligence data platform designed to help organisations control and secure the information that powers their AI systems.
The OpenText AI Data Platform (AIDP) was introduced at the firm’s OpenText World 2025 event. According to the company, the system brings data management and AI tooling together so businesses can monitor how sensitive internal information is used when deploying automation.
OpenText said many organisations are now creating large volumes of proprietary data that risk being used in AI systems without sufficient governance. It cited McKinsey research suggesting that 51 per cent of companies using AI have experienced some form of inaccuracy or negative consequence.
Savinay Berry, OpenText’s chief product and technology officer, said companies are beginning to use multiple AI agents for different roles rather than relying on one system. He said OpenText’s approach focuses on tying AI to governed internal information so outputs can be checked and audited.
The firm said AIDP has been designed to apply metadata, access controls and security rules to information so that automated systems can show which internal data was used to produce an answer. It also sits beneath OpenText Aviator, the company’s technology for building AI agents that run inside business software such as enterprise resource planning and customer management systems.
OpenText said the system can work with different cloud providers and AI models so that organisations can choose their preferred setup while keeping control of their own data.
The company also announced an expansion of its partnership with Databricks. OpenText said the collaboration is intended to make it easier for joint customers to analyse and govern data across both environments through technical integrations and data sharing tools.
OpenText planned product releases
OpenText also set out a number of releases planned over the next 18 months. The list includes the AIDP platform and Aviator Studio, a no-code tool for creating and managing AI agents.
The company said it will also introduce Knowledge Discovery for processing information and adding metadata, Data Compliance services for privacy and encryption, and a professional services team to assist customers with deployment.
The company said the entry tier of Aviator will be included at no additional charge for customers upgrading to version OT 26.1 of certain OpenText products. It also said Aviator will become available for on-premises use starting with the same release.
