OpenText and Cohere Partner to Merge Trusted Data with Agentic AI

OpenText Corporation, a global leader in data management and context for enterprise AI, and Cohere, a leading sovereign AI company, are partnering to bring trusted agentic AI to governments and regulated industries.

Together, OpenText and Cohere will provide complementary layers of the AI stack for the agentic enterprise, according to the companies.

As the data and context layer, OpenText unlocks enterprise data, including unstructured, operational and transactional data, and gives agentic AI the context it needs.

Cohere provides the application and orchestration layer through North, its secure, privately deployable agentic AI platform, together with its cutting-edge enterprise AI models for powering complex automations. Clients have the choice of where it all runs: on-premises, or in a private, public, or sovereign cloud depending on their security, data, and deployment requirements.

"Data is not the supporting act; it is what gives agentic AI the context it needs to perform," said Ayman Antoun, chief executive officer, OpenText. "OpenText brings the data and context layer, while Cohere brings the orchestration and models that turn that data into agentic AI that acts with purpose. Together, we give clients what they need to build the agentic enterprise."

Expected to reach clients in early 2027, the OpenText and Cohere agentic solution is purpose built for governments and organizations in highly regulated sectors, where AI agents must reason over trusted data and act across systems without sacrificing control over data location, security, or deployment.

"Enterprises and governments need AI that can work with their most important data while keeping them in control of where that data lives and how it is used," said Aidan Gomez, co-founder and CEO of Cohere. "By bringing North and our models together with OpenText's trusted data and context, we're giving organizations a secure path to move agentic AI from pilot to production and put it to work across the systems and workflows their teams rely on every day."

OpenText brings clients a world-class ecosystem of partners that together deliver the full AI stack they need to deploy agentic AI.

The OpenText and Cohere partnership will include product development, integration of Cohere's agentic platform and models into OpenText Aviator AI agents, coordinated go-to-market execution, and a strategic reseller relationship through SOLEX, enabling OpenText to offer Cohere-supported solutions both on-premises and through OpenText Cloud, the vendors said.
