Case Study: Marathon Oil achieves information preservation and productivity gains with OpenText

Marathon Oil Preserves and Protects Information With OpenText Technology

Marathon Oil, a Houston‑based integrated international energy company, needed a better way to create, find and share up‑to‑date, trusted information while eliminating duplicates and preserving records for legal and regulatory compliance. These three objectives—improving information access, removing out‑of‑date content, and ensuring retention for compliance—drove a company‑wide information management initiative.

Marathon implemented OpenText solutions—including governance and archiving for SharePoint, document and records management, and eDiscovery/early case assessment—to manage information consistently across its lifecycle. The result: measurable productivity savings, faster internal discovery processing that reduces external legal costs, and improved decision‑making based on more relevant, trusted information.
