OpenText MBPM 9.8 Has Arrived – Here’s What You Need to Know
Is Your AI and Automation Strategy Right for You?
OpenText has just released OpenText MBPM 9.8, the latest version of its long-standing business process management platform. This release introduces a series of enhancements designed to improve accessibility, strengthen enterprise integration, and simplify administration – all while continuing to support organisations that rely on Metastorm BPM to run critical workflows.
The new release delivers smarter user experiences with full compliance to Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. User management policies have been improved, the “Forgot Password” process has been streamlined, and favourite links can now be managed for quicker navigation. Organisations can also benefit from custom theming to match corporate branding, as well as expanded multilingual support for global teams.
On the enterprise side, MBPM 9.8 simplifies administration and deployment with automation tools for SSO configuration, installer support for Oracle database creation, and Microsoft EntraID (Azure AD) SSO integration via SAML 2.0. A dedicated Windows Event Viewer log section has also been added, making centralised log access and faster troubleshooting easier for IT teams.
Behind the scenes, the release includes numerous bug fixes, stability updates, and performance improvements, ensuring a smoother overall experience.
These changes matter because they directly address user feedback. By improving accessibility, simplifying setup, and providing stronger support for enterprise environments, MBPM 9.8 is designed to help organisations work smarter and faster while continuing to rely on Metastorm as part of their digital backbone.
The OpenText community continues to play a vital role in shaping the evolution of Metastorm BPM. Users are encouraged to share experiences with the new release, post questions, and provide feedback. OpenText Customer Support remains available to guide and assist organisations on their journey.
With MBPM 9.8, OpenText demonstrates its commitment to customers who continue to depend on the platform. While many organisations are already exploring migrations to modern low-code platforms like Appian, for those still running critical workloads on Metastorm, this update provides smoother operations, stronger accessibility, and better enterprise integration.
Final Thoughts: If your organisation is running Metastorm BPM or OpenText MBPM (whether version 7.x or 9.x), now is the perfect time to review your setup and ensure you are getting the most from your investment. Our team provides managed services, training, and implementation support tailored to both current environments and future migration strategies.
