Managed services for OpenText

Specialist OpenText support, matched to the estate you run.

Not every estate needs a programme wrapped around it. Most need someone specialist keeping an eye on the platform, the database underneath it and the day-to-day running.

Close enough to the estate to catch things before they surface, senior-led, with one team and one SLA. OpenText depth, priced for operations, for a predictable monthly cost.

15 checks you can run yourself. No form, no email, nothing to sign up for.

What goes wrong

When an OpenText estate drifts, the business finds out before IT does.

OpenText holds the documents and records wrapped around your most important processes: invoices matched to purchase orders, contracts tied to customers, records held for a retention period. Most of the people who depend on it never see OpenText at all. They reach it through SAP, Salesforce or Microsoft 365.

So the first sign of a problem is rarely “OpenText is down”. It is:

An approval workflow that stops halfway and nobody notices for a week

A document that cannot be produced on request during an audit

Search returning nothing for content everyone knows exists

A connector that has silently stopped writing back to SAP

Users reporting that “SAP is broken”, when the fault is two layers below it

The usual causes

Behind those symptoms, it is usually one of three things.

Only one person really understands it.

The estate runs well because someone has carried it for years. That works until they take leave, go off sick, or hand in their notice. OpenText skills are scarce, so the gap is measured in months.

The same incident keeps coming back.

Fixed, then back a few weeks later. The cause usually sits across a boundary rather than inside the thing everyone is looking at.

Nobody owns the whole thing.

Platform support here, database support there, functional administration somewhere else. Each team looks at it and correctly concludes it is not theirs, so it stays open.
By the time it is called an OpenText problem, it has usually been a business problem for a while.

What we do

We work on the OpenText problems that sit between teams.

Nuca keeps production OpenText estates running as an ongoing managed service. Not a project, not an implementation. The day-to-day run: monitoring, patching, incident response, database administration, upgrade readiness and change control, under one SLA with one team accountable.

We do not do implementations, migrations or custom development. We run what is already live. If someone else built it, they keep that relationship.

Where an estate is short-handed right now, we can cover it directly. Interim cover keeps the platform stable while you recruit, starting in days and running month to month.

Working alongside your team

We relieve your specialists of the operational load. We do not replace them. Your people keep their knowledge and their standing and get the work only they can do, while we keep the platform running underneath. The internal expert usually ends up our strongest advocate, because they finally get to take a holiday.

Three layers, one team

Three layers. Usually three suppliers.
One of us.

An OpenText estate has three layers, and the hardest problems fall across the boundaries between them. We cover all three, so an incident is diagnosed once rather than handed between vendors.

Layer one

The OpenText platform.

Content Server, OTDS, Archive Server, Records Management, xECM connectors, Extended ECM. Monitoring, patching, upgrades, performance, incident response and change control.

  • Content Server
  • OTDS
  • Archive Server
  • Records Management
  • xECM
  • Extended ECM
01 / 03

Layer two

The database underneath.

Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server, run specifically under OpenText workloads. Backup and recovery, high availability, performance and capacity planning.

  • Oracle
  • SQL Server
  • RAC / Data Guard
  • Always On
  • Backup & recovery
02 / 03

Layer three

The business-administration layer.

Users, permissions, categories, workflows and records-management policy, with our specialist partners. The functional layer most technical managed services do not touch.

  • Users & permissions
  • Categories
  • Workflows
  • RM policy
03 / 03

The service, at three depths

One service, scoped to your estate, for a fixed monthly fee.

Most estates join at Tier I and grow into the depth they need. Every tier carries the same 24×7×365 response to critical incidents.

Where most estates start

Tier I

Platform Managed Service.

The platform and the database, production-stable, with 24×7×365 cover for critical incidents. A complete service in its own right.

  • OpenText platform administration
  • Database administration, Oracle and SQL Server
  • 24×7×365 monitoring with Sev 1 SLA
  • Backup verification and recovery readiness

Tier II

Platform + Business Administration.

Everything in Tier I, plus the business-administration layer, delivered with our specialist partners.

  • All of Tier I
  • Users, groups and permissions
  • Workflows, categories and business rules
  • Records Management policy administration

Tier III

Full Lifecycle.

Everything in Tier II, plus upgrades, migrations and a named Technical Account Manager.

  • All of Tier II
  • Major version upgrades on a defined cadence
  • Migration and refresh support
  • Named Technical Account Manager

Most engagements start smaller than a tier, with interim cover or a single estate review.

Common questions

Three questions people ask before they get in touch.

OpenText Professional Services is built for implementation and projects. Global systems integrators are built for transformation programmes. Internal teams and local IT providers keep the wider estate running. Running a live OpenText estate day to day is a different job again, and it is Nuca's whole business. We run production OpenText estates as an ongoing managed service. We do not do implementations, projects or anything else.

Next step

Start with your own estate, not a sales call.

OpenText estate health: 15 checks worth running is a self-check written to be run without us. No form, no gate. If you work through it and find things you cannot answer, that is worth a conversation, and that conversation is free too.

No form, no gate. The checklist is written to be run without us.
