We had a very good quarter across the board – in all geographies and verticals, says John Shackleton, president and chief executive officer of Open Text. Our strong license revenue growth has brought us to where we expected to be on a year to date basis.

We are also pleased with our profitability this quarter, generating a pre-tax adjusted operating margin of 28.8%, says Shackleton. The integration of Vignette is progressing well and we are very encouraged by the synergies we see from the combined businesses.
