OpenText estate health: 15 checks worth running
And how to test for each one yourself.
A technical self-check for production OpenText estates, drawn from real incidents.
Fifteen checks across the platform, the database underneath and the people who run both. Each one tells you what to look at, how to look at it, what a bad answer looks like and why it matters.
It takes a few hours, with access to your Content Server admin pages, your database and one honest conversation with whoever keeps the estate running. Those hours are cheap next to the incident they can save you.
Short on time? The page tells you which three checks catch the most risk.
No email required. If you would rather talk through what you find, drop us a message and we will set up a chat.

Does your OpenText support model still fit your estate?
A twenty-question self-check you can answer from your desk, with no system access needed. It asks whether the support arrangement built around your estate three or five years ago still matches what the estate has become.
Use this one to find out where to worry. Use the technical checklist above to find out whether you were right.
