Prianto/QBS Software Group and OpenText Held Regional Events in CEE

Across Central and Eastern Europe, the conversation around cybersecurity and enterprise AI is changing fast. It is no longer enough to buy another isolated tool, run another disconnected security project, or treat AI as a standalone experiment.

Business leaders, CIOs and CISOs increasingly need a connected operating model where applications are secure, sensitive data is protected, incidents are investigated with evidence, IT operations are visible, and AI is built on trusted enterprise information. This was the central message behind the recent Prianto/QBS Software Group and OpenText regional events and workshops delivered in Zagreb, Belgrade, Bucharest and Budapest. Together with OpenText and the local expert partner ecosystem, they have brought practical cybersecurity and AI discussions to decision-makers from banking, critical infrastructure, government, defense, manufacturing, energy and other regulated or highly security-sensitive industries.

Organizations across the region are facing the same strategic pressures: rising cyber risk, NIS2 and DORA readiness, application security exposure, data privacy requirements, legacy complexity, SOC workload, and the urgent expectation to make AI useful without creating new risk. The answer is not more fragmentation. The answer is platformisation. Many enterprises already own powerful technologies, but they often use them as separate islands. Application security may sit in one team, data protection in another, SIEM in the SOC, forensics in a specialist unit, content management in the business, and IT operations in a different budget. This structure was understandable in the past, but it is becoming too slow, too costly, and too difficult to govern.

A cyber incident is never only a security event. It may require application context, identity evidence, logs, content governance, legal defensibility, ticket workflow, executive reporting, and remediation tracking. The same is true for AI adoption. AI can create real productivity gains only when it is built on governed, protected, and explainable information. This is why platform thinking is becoming a board-level topic. Prianto/QBS and OpenText are addressing this shift together by connecting technology, partner expertise, and regional execution. The objective is not only to deliver licenses, but to help customers build realistic roadmaps, choose the right starting point, validate the use case, and work with qualified local partners who can implement and support the solution properly.

During the regional sessions, we focused strongly on OpenText Cybersecurity solutions and how they can support enterprise resilience when combined with OpenText Aviator AI. Four areas generated particularly strong interest.

OpenText Fortify helps organizations secure software across the development lifecycle with application security testing and AppSec program governance. It supports teams in identifying vulnerabilities earlier, reducing remediation cost and strengthening software supply-chain security. With OpenText Application Security Aviator, AI-assisted auditing and remediation guidance can help AppSec and development teams move faster from finding to fixing.

OpenText Voltage supports data-centric security by helping organizations protect sensitive information through capabilities such as encryption, tokenisation, masking and privacy-enhancing controls. This is essential for regulated industries where data must remain usable for business processes, analytics and AI, while exposure must be reduced by design.

OpenText ArcSight supports security operations with SIEM, log analytics, correlation and threat detection capabilities. It helps SOC teams improve visibility, prioritize suspicious behavior and reduce the noise that often prevents analysts from focusing on real risk.

OpenText EnCase and related forensic investigation capabilities support digital forensics, endpoint investigation and incident response. They help security, legal, compliance and investigation teams understand what happened, collect evidence and respond with defensible confidence.

The value of Aviator AI is that it does not sit outside this story. It can act as an intelligence layer inside relevant workflows, helping teams accelerate triage, improve prioritisation, support remediation and move from insight to action. The result is not AI for the sake of AI. The result is faster, more reliable security work.

Cybersecurity is a powerful starting point, but the wider OpenText portfolio creates an even larger business-value conversation. The next phase of enterprise IT will not be won by siloed tools. It will be won by platforms that connect information, security, operations and AI.

OpenText Content Management helps organizations govern, manage and activate enterprise information across business processes. Solutions such as Extended ECM, Documentum and Content Aviator support secure information access, collaboration, records governance, workflow automation and AI-assisted discovery over trusted content. For AI initiatives, this is critical: content must be governed before it can be safely used.

OpenText ITSM, ITOM and Observability solutions help IT organizations improve service quality, operational resilience and visibility across complex hybrid environments. Service management, operations monitoring, automation and AI-assisted support can reduce ticket pressure, improve root-cause analysis and help IT teams move from reactive firefighting to proactive service delivery.

OpenText Aviator AI brings enterprise AI into these domains by embedding assistance into business content, cybersecurity and IT operations workflows. The important point for regulated organizations is governance: AI must respect security, privacy, context and auditability. When AI is connected to trusted enterprise data, it becomes a productivity accelerator rather than an uncontrolled risk.

This is where the platformisation concept becomes powerful. Content, cybersecurity, IT operations and AI are not separate stories. They are different lenses on the same business asset: trusted data. When they are connected, one plus one can genuinely become three.

As a value-added distributor, Prianto/QBS Software Group plays a practical ecosystem role across the region. They connect OpenText innovation with local execution by enabling resellers, systems integrators, MSPs and professional service partners who understand local language, local business culture, local regulation and local delivery expectations. For partners, this creates the opportunity to build higher-value practices around cybersecurity, AI, content management, ITSM, ITOM and observability. It is not only about reselling software. It is about assessments, workshops, proofs-of-concept, integration, implementation, managed services, support and long-term customer success.

For end users, the benefit is a more reliable path from ambition to outcome. Customers can engage Prianto/QBS and our OpenText partner ecosystem to map priorities, select the right use case, involve the right local expert, and build a roadmap that fits their business reality. Their motto is simple: Data is the centre. AI is the accelerator. OpenText is the platform. Prianto/QBS and their partners make it work in real customer environments. This is also why they believe in strong local ecosystems. Enterprise transformation does not happen from a distance. It happens when global vendor technology, regional distribution expertise and certified local delivery partners work together around the customer’s real business challenge.

The regional roadshow continues. Following the strong engagement in Zagreb, Belgrade, Bucharest, and Budapest, Prianto/QBS and OpenText will continue to bring practical workshops, demonstrations, and partner-led discussions to the CEE market. The next important step is a dedicated online workshop focused on OpenText Fortify and OpenText Application Security Aviator. This session will demonstrate how application security and AI-assisted code security can work together in practice: identifying risk earlier, helping teams understand findings faster, supporting remediation guidance and improving secure software delivery without unnecessary complexity.

The session is highly relevant for CISOs, CIOs, application security leaders, development leaders, enterprise architects, DevSecOps teams, resellers, integrators, and professional service partners. Participants will gain a clearer view of where Fortify fits, how Aviator AI adds value, and how these capabilities can support regulated and security-sensitive organizations.

The message for the CEE market is clear. Cyber resilience, AI readiness and operational maturity cannot be solved by isolated projects alone. They require trusted technology, strong local expertise, a professional partner ecosystem and a platform mindset. Prianto/QBS Software Group looks forward to deeper cooperation with local resellers, integrators, MSPs and professional service providers across the region. They also invite end-user organizations to engage with them and their OpenText ecosystem when they are planning cybersecurity modernization, AI readiness, content governance, ITSM/ITOM improvement or broader digital transformation initiatives.

OpenText brings technology. Prianto/QBS brings regional expertise and ecosystem coordination. Local expert partners bring implementation and long-term delivery capability. Customers bring ambition, priorities, and real business challenges. Together, this is where stronger outcomes are created — stronger and better together.
