The best DevOps teams aren't just moving faster, they're moving smarter. While everyone else is drowning in alerts, juggling tools, and explaining why last quarter's "transformation" didn't stick, the leaders are quietly shipping cleaner code, predicting problems before they hit production, and actually sleeping at night. Learn how: explore DevOps at OpenText World.

November 17-20 in Nashville, OpenText World 2025 brings together the teams who figured it out. This isn't a conference about what's possible someday—it's about what's working right now, at scale, in the messiest environments you can imagine. If you've been waiting for proof that AI-powered DevOps is more than hype or wondering how to get your organization past pilot purgatory, this is your moment.

The agentic era has arrived

The conversation has shifted. We're no longer asking if AI will transform DevOps, we're asking how to make it work at scale. The difference? Teams that get this right are shipping faster, sleeping better, and actually enjoying their jobs again. Those still treating AI as a science project are watching their competitors pull ahead.

At OpenText World 2025, you'll see exactly how the top performers are doing it.

What makes DevOps at OpenText World 2025 different

Every escaped defect costs trust. Some cost millions. Audit fatigue, tool sprawl, and broken test cycles have long been treated as the cost of doing business. But what if they weren't?

The sessions at this year's DevOps at OpenText World show you how to rewrite that equation. You'll see OpenText DevOps Cloud putting agentic AI to work: generating tests, predicting defect leakage, and enforcing compliance across 250+ pipelines, from GitHub to SAP. No rebuilds. No retooling. Just safer, smarter shipping.

The agentic era: How AI rewrites the rules and buries brittle, bloated software delivery

Remember when "automation" meant running the same brittle scripts faster? Those days are over.

When: November 18, 2025 | 1:00 PM-2:30 PM CT
Format: Keynote

This keynote showcases AI that doesn't just execute—it thinks, learns, and acts: writing tests, spotting patterns humans miss, and catching defects before they escape. All while enforcing compliance and keeping teams shipping faster.

But here's the real draw: you'll see autonomous test bots making intelligent decisions, stability intelligence that knows your system better than your senior engineers, and flow optimization removing bottlenecks you didn't know existed. This isn't a roadmap presentation—it's a live look at what's working right now.

The kicker? A glimpse of fully autonomous build-test-secure loops where software verifies itself, fixes its own issues, and ships with confidence. It's the agentic era, and it's already here.

AI that pays off: Inside the enterprise shift to smarter, safer software delivery

AI is everywhere, but only a few teams are getting real ROI. In this breakout session, you'll move beyond copilots and chatbots to see how enterprises are driving material outcomes: faster releases, fewer incidents, and audit readiness on autopilot.

When: November 18, 2025 | 3:55 PM-4:25 PM CT
Format: Breakout

DevOps leaders are deploying AI to reduce rework, predict release risk, and embed compliance, without slowing down delivery. You'll also see how performance testing innovations help surface anomalies, regressions, and risk trends earlier in the pipeline, so teams can optimize application health before it impacts users.

If your teams are stuck in pilot mode, this is your playbook for scaling AI that actually works.

Accelerate with confidence: Lessons from enterprise DevOps leaders

Speed without stability isn't innovation, it's risk. This panel brings together DevOps leaders who've accelerated delivery across complex environments without sacrificing quality, visibility, or control.

When: November 18, 2025 | 3:15 PM-3:45 PM CT
Format: Breakout

This cross-industry panel shares how they've tackled test debt, unlocked smarter automation, aligned teams across silos, and scaled forecasting with platform-level insights. Whether you're early in your DevOps journey or driving enterprise-wide transformation, you'll walk away with real-world lessons you can apply right now.

This is about more than cutting cycle times. It's about delivering with confidence, clarity, and control, even in complex, high-stakes environments.

Firefighting is OUT. Forecasting is IN: How teams predict the future

Reactive chaos isn't a tooling problem, it's a signal problem. Elite teams don't wait for blockers to surface; they shift left on planning itself.

When: November 19, 2025 | 1:15 PM-1:35 PM CT
Format: Turbo Talk

In this session, discover how OpenText DevOps Cloud helps engineering orgs stop guessing and start knowing what's next. You'll see how OpenText Core Software Delivery Platform and OpenText DevOps Aviator, supercharged by AI, deliver real-time visibility across pipelines, teams, and portfolios.

Learn how to predict risk early, squash hidden blockers, and replace gut feel with delivery intelligence business leaders can trust. Whether you're scaling across teams or looking to automate governance and compliance, this session shows how to go from firefighting to proactive orchestration.

Fewer black boxes. Fewer surprises. Just software that ships itself, with confidence.
