OpenText Audit Defense was founded in 2020 by Morten Andersen and Fredrik Filipsson, two partners with more than twenty years each in enterprise software. Both work the buyer's side of the licensing and audit table — and nothing else.
Two partners lead every engagement. Both have spent more than two decades in enterprise software, and both write the field notes published in the library.
Because the partners come from inside enterprise software, nothing in an opening finding is a mystery to us. We know how a self assessment script is scoped and what it tends to overcount. We know how named seat definitions, service accounts, indirect access and non production use are treated in the first draft of a finding, and where each of those is open to challenge. We know how the remedy stacks, with a shortfall deemed acquired at then current list price, plus back maintenance and support, plus first year maintenance on the new licenses, plus the cost of the audit itself. Knowing how the number is assembled is what lets us take it apart.
Every case runs on the four operations set out in our audit defense method. The partners take over first contact within the seven day window, reconstruct your effective license position before any vendor measurement script runs, rebut the finding line by line, and resolve on terms you can live with. Specialist depth across the estate is organised into eight defense tracks, from ECM and Documentum to OpenPass negotiation, so the right experience meets the right metric.
The full discipline, written for buyers, is set out in the complete OpenText audit defense playbook for 2026.
We hold no reseller status and no partnership with any vendor. The partners work for the company under audit and no one else. If you would like to talk to the team about a notice you have received, you can open a case and we will respond inside the window that matters.
