As an IT leader or manager responsible for your organization’s OpenText ECM landscape, platform upgrades are a key consideration. You want to stay up to date – to ensure security, compatibility, and access to new features – but you also need to balance that with any personalizations in place.
The common fear? “Will our existing solutions still work after the upgrade?”
With Module Suite, that fear goes away. This article explains why you can confidently build and extend with Module Suite – without compromising future upgradeability.
Component-based architecture: upgrades without the overhead
A key reason Module Suite remains upgrade-friendly is its component-based architecture (CBA). This approach structures solutions as independent, reusable building blocks that encapsulate specific functions and interact through clearly defined interfaces.
What does this mean in practice? It means that changes to the platform – including interface or logic updates – don’t require manual adjustments to your existing implementations. For example, if you’ve built a user interface using Module Suite components and OpenText platform’s UI evolves, the look and feel of your UI will evolve as well, with no need for rework on your part.
This level of loose coupling and reusability not only reduces upgrade effort but also increases maintainability, flexibility, and long-term reliability – making Module Suite an ideal fit for dynamic, enterprise-scale ECM environments.
Designed for upgrade continuity
Module Suite is actively maintained and adapted in parallel with OpenText’s roadmap. With each new Content Management release, AnswerModules ensures Module Suite is validated and updated accordingly, ensuring its own roadmap delivers the latest version in line with platform changes.
You can confidently plan upgrades knowing that your Module Suite-based solutions will continue to function without disruption – even across major version jumps or during cloud transitions.
Low-code logic, high resilience
Module Suite uses a low-code approach and does not rely on proprietary languages, making implementations easier to maintain, more transparent, and less sensitive to version changes.
For IT teams, this results in faster upgrade testing cycles, reduced risk, and long-term confidence in how solutions will behave as the platform evolves.
Trusted worldwide, proven at scale
Module Suite is used by 130+ organizations across the globe, supporting more than 385,000 users in their day-to-day operations on OpenText Content Management.
