What is OpenText Data Integrator (BizManager)? 

BizManager users who are not aware should note this solution was rebranded and retooled in 2024 as OpenText Data Integrator. The rollout included capabilities such as:

• RESTful API Integration
• Global Transformation Endpoints
• Unlimited File Size Data Translation
• Human-Readable Document Viewer

Rebranding notwithstanding, users will find numerous BizManager references and resources online. For simplicity and clarity, we primarily use the term ‘BizManager’ on this page.

So what is BizManager and why do organizations still rely on it?

OpenText BizManager is an on-premises business-to-business (B2B) data gateway. More recent versions can be deployed in the cloud via public cloud services such as Azure or transitioned to the OpenText Private Cloud. Cloud-hosted BizManager instances can connect to existing local infrastructure via RESTful web services and APIs.

BizManager helps large organizations securely exchange digital documents with external suppliers, vendors, and trading partners using:

• EDI & Data Translation
• Managed File Transfer (MFT)
• Unified Interface to consolidate messaging, mapping, tracking, and auditing tools

Manufacturers, distributors, logistics providers, and healthcare organizations that manage high-volume EDI/B2B integration environments continue to run their businesses on BizManager and related solutions. The decades of customized mappings, workflows, and trading partner connections found in their environments represent critical operational infrastructure.

Many of these organizations choose to evolve rather than replace the integration tools in their environments. When needed, they will engage Remedi for consulting expertise when experiencing errors that are creating chargebacks and other negative outcomes.
