As part of our efforts to continuously improve efficiency, OpenText is implementing SAP Ariba. This implementation will change how we source, contract, and send purchase orders to our valued vendors. The first phase of the implementation will better facilitate the submission of supplier quotes and enable our suppliers to create and maintain their own supplier profiles in an integrated, online environment. To ensure effective and efficient purchase transactions, active participation of all OpenText vendors is required.
Stay tuned for more updates. For any questions or concerns, please contact cspp@opentext.com.

The OpenText No PO No Pay policy requires that in order to engage in business with OpenText, all suppliers must first obtain a purchase order (PO). The purchase order number must be referenced on all related paperwork, such as invoices, packing slips, or proof-of-delivery documents.
OpenText uses standard terms and conditions for purchase orders. To find applicable terms and conditions, visit the Purchase order terms and conditions list and select the country of the OpenText entity with which you are doing business.
OpenText standard payment terms are Net 75 and contingent on the timely receipt of invoice and the completion, delivery, and acceptance of goods and services, unless contracted otherwise.
Please follow the OpenText invoicing instructions to ensure a smooth payment process. Invoices not meeting the listed requirement may be returned. To avoid delay in payment, please ensure invoices submitted to OpenText have all applicable details required for processing.
Suppliers with access to OpenText data, networks, and/or systems for the purposes of providing their services are required to execute and be governed by a separate supplier personal data processing addendum ("DPA"). If your company already has an agreement with OpenText that incorporates this DPA, no further action is required to execute this DPA.
This DPA consists of two parts: the main body of the DPA, and the appendices A, B, C, D and E.
This DPA incorporates by reference the:
To execute this DPA, the supplier must:
OpenText data or assets are valuable to the company and require appropriate protection. Unauthorized disclosure, misuse and loss could cause severe harm to OpenText and OpenText customers.
In order to manage these risks, OpenText requires suppliers to comply with the IT Security Terms and Conditions.
Suppliers are expected to behave responsibly and ethically and must comply with applicable laws and regulations. OpenText OpenText Supplier Code of Conduct details the standards that we expect our suppliers to meet.
Suppliers are expected to provide goods and services in a manner that is both ethically responsible and sustainable. The OpenText Sustainable and Ethical Procurement Policy addresses the expectations for staff and suppliers as they relate to environmental responsibility, cultural practices and ethical and sustainable procurement. This ensures the highest level of integrity, ethical standards and fair and honest dealings at all times.
OpenText welcomes diverse vendors and believes diversity contributes to innovation. A diverse supplier is a business that is 51% minority-owned and operated by individuals who belong to underrepresented or historically disadvantaged groups (minorities, women, veterans, LGBTQ, people with disabilities, small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZones).
Suppliers are expected to confirm their business ownership/classification upon registration using the Business Classification Codes. This process ensures that OpenText accurately captures and recognizes businesses owned by individuals from underrepresented groups. Suppliers are requested to provide the relevant certification during the registration process supporting their diverse status as part of this confirmation. This helps OpenText uphold its commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive supply chain.
