Dear Ms. Kindelan:

This letter reflects our response to the comments of the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as set forth in your letter dated December 22, 2009 to Mr. Paul McFeeters, our Chief Financial Officer. The Comment Letter relates to our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, (“Form 10-K”) which was filed with the Commission on August 21, 2009 and to our Form 10-Q, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 (“Form 10-Q”) which was filed with the Commission on October 28, 2009.

The responses and supplementary information set forth below have been organized in the same manner in which the Commission’s comments were organized.

Form 10-K for the Year Ended June 30, 2009

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 32

1. Please tell us what consideration you gave to outlining the material covenants appearing in your credit agreement and describing your state of compliance with those covenants.

We were in compliance with all loan covenants relating to our credit agreement as of June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009 and will, in future filings, expand the discussion in the liquidity and capital resources section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis to outline the material financial covenants appearing in our credit agreement along with describing our state of compliance with these covenants at that time.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Goodwill, page 37

2. We note that goodwill accounted for 38% of total assets as of June 30, 2009. In light of the significance of your goodwill, tell us your consideration to provide a more robust and comprehensive discussion in your critical accounting policies regarding your impairment testing policy. In this regard, your disclosures should be expanded to provide investors with sufficient information about management’s insights and assumptions with regards to the recoverability of goodwill and, at a minimum, should include the following:

 

   

A discussion of the reporting units used in your analysis and how the reporting units are identified;

 

   

A more detailed description of the steps you perform to review goodwill for recoverability;

 

   

The nature of the valuation techniques you employed in performing the impairment tests;

 

   

A qualitative description of the significant estimates and assumptions used in your valuation model to determine the fair value of your reporting units in our impairment analysis; and

 

   

A description of any significant changes to the assumptions and methodologies since previous impairment tests as a result of major events such as acquisitions or considerable changes in the economy and the impact these had on the results.

We note the Staff’s comments in this regard and will, in future filings expand the discussion in our critical accounting policies note to include information about our insights and assumptions with regards to the recoverability of goodwill, which at a minimum will include the areas pointed out by the Staff, above.

3. To the extent that any of your reporting units have estimated fair values that are not substantially in excess of the carrying values and are at potential risk of failing step one of your goodwill impairment analysis, please tell us and disclose the following:

 

   

The percentage by which the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value as of the date of the most recent test;

 

   

The amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit;

 

   

Describe the potential events and/or changes in circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the key assumptions used in determining fair value;

If you have determined that the estimated fair value substantially exceeds the carrying value for all of your reporting units, please disclose this determination. Please refer to Item 303(a) (3) (ii) of Regulation S-K and Section V of SEC Release No. 33-8350.

As of April 1, 2009, the date of our last annual impairment analysis of goodwill, we determined that all of our reporting units were substantially in excess of the carrying value and we have considered Item 303(a) (3) (ii) of Regulation S-K and Section V of SEC Release No. 33-8350 in our disclosures and do not believe that there were any known trends or uncertainties that would cause a materially adverse affect to our results of operation.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis, page 55

General

4. As noted in comment 14 of our letter dated March 26, 2008 with respect to your Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, you should provide more detail regarding your benchmarking process. For instance, tell us specifically how you established your peer group, and where your company fell within the parameters that define that group. You should also explain more specifically where your compensation fell within the noted percentile range for each named executive officer, and how you determined that those compensation levels were appropriate, given the performance of your company versus the performance of the members of your peer group.

In response to the Staff’s comments, we will in future filings take into consideration such guidance, to the extent applicable, and provide a more complete description of our benchmarking practices.

An illustration of such disclosure, as it would have applied to our Fiscal 2009 year, is set forth under appendix A.

Variable Short-Term Incentives, page 61

5. You should disclose the target levels with respect to the specific performance-related factors you identify for Variable Short-Term Incentives, namely worldwide revenue, adjusted net income, and divisional targets. If you are relying on Instruction 4 to Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K to omit these target levels, you should confirm that you have conducted a competitive harm analysis.

In response to the Staff’s comment, we will disclose in future filings the target levels with respect to the specific performance-related factors we have identified for Variable Short-Term Incentives.

An illustrative example of such disclosure, as it would have applied to our Fiscal 2009 year, is set forth under appendix B.

6. As noted in comment 14 of our letter dated March 26, 2008; you should disclose how you determined the specific payouts under this program. You disclose the broad parameters pursuant to which these payouts are determined, but you do not appear to provide any insight as to how the specific amounts reflected in your Summary Compensation Table for the current fiscal year were actually determined. That is, you do not disclose the specific percentage achievements of the target levels, nor do you disclose the percentage of the total possible amount that was actually paid, or the percentage of salary represented by those actual payouts. Please advise.

In response to the Staff’s comment, we will disclose in future filings how specific payouts under the program were determined, the specific percentage achievements of the target levels, the percentage of target levels that were paid and the percentage of salary represented by those payouts. An illustrative example of such disclosure, as it would have applied to our Fiscal 2009 year, is set forth in appendix C

Item 14. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions…page 76

7 As noted in comment 16 of our letter dated March 26, 2008, you should disclose the standards applied pursuant to your related party transaction policy. In your response to that prior comment, you set forth those standards, but they do not appear in your current disclosure. Please advise. See Item 404(b (1) (ii) of Regulation S-K.

We note the Staff’s comments in this regard and will, in future filings disclose our procedure regarding the approval of related party transactions, as was described in our response to the SEC’s letter dated March 26, 2008. An illustration of such disclosure, as it would have applied to our Fiscal 2009 year, is set forth under appendix D.

Appendix A

Competitive Compensation

Aggregate compensation for each Named Executive Officer (“NEO”) is designed to be competitive. The Company researches and refers to the compensation practices of similarly situated companies in determining the Company’s compensation policy. Although the Company reviews each element of compensation for market competitiveness, and the Company may weigh a particular element more heavily based on the NEO’s role within the Company, the Company is primarily focused on remaining competitive in the market with respect to total compensation.

Prior to making its recommendations to the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee reviews data related to compensation levels and programs of companies that are similar to Open Text with respect to geography, industry and annual revenue. The revenue size of the comparator group of 20 North American internet software and services providers range from approximately one-half to two times that of Open Text (the Company’s “Software” peer group). The group, as determined for the year ended June 30, 2009, was comprised of 18 United States-based and 2 Canadian-based organizations chosen to represent the North American software and service providers within this revenue range. The Company also considered the market capitalization and net income of these companies in determining that they are appropriate comparators.

Mercer performed an assessment of the compensation of the Company’s executives. In early Fiscal 2009, Mercer benchmarked base salary, total cash compensation (base salary plus target short-term incentives), and total direct compensation (total cash compensation plus long-term incentives) to the following companies, which collectively comprise the Company’s “Software” peer group for the year ended June 30, 2009:

        For the EVP, Products, Mr. Roberts, we also considered market survey data in determining compensation competitiveness. Specifically, we used survey data comprised of high technology and professional services organizations from Mercer’s proprietary 2008 US Mercer Benchmark Database.

Due to limited matches among the Software group, for the Executive Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer, Mr. Jenkins, and the EVP, Global Sales, Support & Services, Mr. Wilkerson, these two positions were instead matched to a “General Industry” group comprised of publicly-traded North American companies with revenue between $500 million and $1.6 billion (approximately one-half to two-times Open Text’s revenue).

The purpose of this benchmarking process was to:

 

   

Understand the competitiveness of the Company’s current pay levels for each executive position relative to companies with similar revenues and business characteristics;

 

   

Identify and understand any gaps that may exist between the Company’s actual compensation levels and market compensation levels; and

 

   

Serve as a basis for developing salary adjustments and short-term and long-term incentive award programs for the Compensation Committee’s approval.

Our research indicated that, for Fiscal 2009, compensation for each NEO was positioned as follows:

In addition to being competitive relative to the relevant peer groups, Open Text’s executive compensation levels were deemed appropriate given Open Text’s performance relative to these groups. Specifically, relative to the Software peer group, Open Text’s relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) was in the top quartile for the 1, 3 and 5 year periods ending June 30, 2008. Similarly, relative to the General Industry peer group, TSR was above median and, for most periods, in the top quartile.

Appendix C

For the year ended June 30, 2009, we determined total short-term variable compensation for each Named Executive Officer (“NEO”) and the respective weighting for each performance measure, through consultation with Mercer. Mercer benchmarked our compensation practices and policies with respect to our seven most senior positions against similar-sized Canadian and U.S. technology companies in order to allow us to place our compensation practices for these seven positions in a market context. This benchmarking included a review of base salary, short-term incentives, total cash compensation levels, long-term incentives and total direct compensation.

The total short term variable compensation represented the amount the NEO would receive if his expected targets were met. The total short term incentive amount was represented by the following percentage of total salary:

For instance, Mr. Shackleton’s total targeted variable compensation was $500,000, which, as illustrated above, represents 100% of his total salary for Fiscal 2009 and is the amount which the Company would pay upon Mr. Shackleton achieving all of his expected targets. If the company met its worldwide revenue and worldwide adjusted net income targets and Mr. Shackleton met his personal targets, he would have received $225,000, $225,000 and $50,000, respectively, for each respective performance measure or conversely, 45%, 45% and 10%, of his total targeted variable compensation.

In Fiscal 2009, worldwide revenue attainment was equal to 98% of target and worldwide adjusted net income was equal to 94% of target and the corresponding payments were 80% and 70%, respectively. Payouts against targeted worldwide revenue and worldwide adjusted net income were calculated on an annual basis, at fiscal year end for Mr. Shackleton, Mr. Jenkins and Mr. McFeeters. Mr. Roberts and Mr. Wilkerson had five payments related to this metric during Fiscal 2009, based on quarter-end performance and fiscal year-end performance so their payouts were slightly greater than the 80% and 70% payouts of the other NEOs. The formula for calculation of payments to all NEO’s was consistently applied as illustrated in the above payout tables. The reason for the difference in payment to two of the NEO’s was frequency of calculation. Due to their more direct influence on revenue generation, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Wilkerson had calculations performed each quarter on quarterly achievement versus quarterly target and an annual calculation of annual achievement versus annual target. The consequence of summing the five individual calculations is a final number that is slightly different than a single calculation on the year.

As illustrated in the Summary Compensation Table, for the year ended June 30, 2009, Mr. Shackleton earned $387,500, which represents approximately 78% of his total targeted variable compensation and is broken out, by performance measure as follows:
