In 1996, the product originally called "Livelink" became Open Text's flagship product. Livelink was the first Web-based collaboration and document management system. At that time, the term "Livelink Server" was also used to describe the Livelink executable file.
Between 2003 and 2005, "Livelink" evolved from being the name of a single product to being a brand applied to the names of several Open Text software products. As a result of this change, "Livelink Server" became known as "Livelink Enterprise Server" (LES) and later "Livelink ECM - Enterprise Server."
At the same time as this branding change was happening, Open Text begain introducing product bundles that included Livelink ECM - Enterprise Server and we stopped selling it as a standalone offering. During this time, customers migrated from the "Livelink" to bundles that contained Enterprise Server that had names like "Livelink for Document Management" (later modified to "Livelink ECM - Document Management") and "Livelink ECM - Content Lifecycle Management" (which bundled records management and archiving capabilities with document management).
In late 2008, Open Text introduced the Open Text ECM Suite as the overall name for our portfolio of enterprise content management products. At the same time, we made the decision to market all of our products under the Open Text brand.
As a result of this decision, the technology component formerly known as Livelink ECM - Enterprise Server became known as "Open Text Content Server."
Today, we consider former Livelink customers to be customers of "Open Text ECM Suite, Content Lifecycle Management" or some of its components.
If you are looking for an Open Text product under a previous name, you can look up the new name in the Rebranded Products table.
