Optimizely - OpenText Core Digital Asset Management Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Optimizely and OpenText Core Digital Asset Management

1. Centralized approved asset delivery for experimentation campaigns

Data flow: OpenText Core Digital Asset Management to Optimizely

Marketing teams can store approved banners, product images, videos, and campaign creatives in OpenText Core Digital Asset Management and push selected assets into Optimizely for use in A/B tests and personalization campaigns. This ensures experiment variants always use brand-compliant, approved content while reducing the time spent searching for assets across shared drives and email threads.

Business value: Faster campaign launch, fewer compliance issues, and better coordination between creative and optimization teams.

2. Dynamic asset selection based on audience segment or experiment variant

Data flow: Bi-directional

Optimizely can determine which audience segment or experiment variant a visitor belongs to, while OpenText Core Digital Asset Management can provide the most relevant asset set for that context. For example, different product images, localized visuals, or industry-specific graphics can be mapped to specific test variants or personalization rules. This enables more relevant experiences without manually duplicating content in the CMS.

Business value: Higher engagement and conversion rates through more precise content matching.

3. Asset performance feedback loop for creative optimization

Data flow: Optimizely to OpenText Core Digital Asset Management

Performance data from Optimizely experiments, such as click-through rate, conversion rate, and engagement by asset variant, can be sent back to OpenText Core Digital Asset Management as usage or performance metadata. Creative and marketing teams can then identify which images, videos, or banners perform best across campaigns and reuse top-performing assets in future tests.

Business value: Better creative decision-making, improved asset reuse, and stronger return on content production investment.

4. Automated localization of digital experiences

Data flow: OpenText Core Digital Asset Management to Optimizely

Global organizations can manage localized images, region-specific product shots, and translated creative assets in OpenText Core Digital Asset Management, then sync them into Optimizely for country-specific or language-specific experiments. This supports regional personalization without requiring each market team to manually source or upload assets.

Business value: Faster international campaign execution, consistent brand governance, and improved relevance for local audiences.

5. Governance-driven asset approval before personalization use

Data flow: OpenText Core Digital Asset Management to Optimizely

Only assets with approved status in OpenText Core Digital Asset Management can be exposed to Optimizely for experimentation or personalization. This creates a controlled workflow where legal, brand, and compliance teams approve assets once, and Optimizely users can only select from the approved library. It reduces the risk of using outdated, unlicensed, or off-brand content in live tests.

Business value: Stronger governance, lower compliance risk, and fewer content review bottlenecks.

6. Campaign asset version control for multivariate testing

Data flow: OpenText Core Digital Asset Management to Optimizely

When multiple versions of a creative asset are needed for multivariate testing, OpenText Core Digital Asset Management can manage version history, metadata, and approval status while Optimizely consumes the correct version for each test. This is especially useful for testing different hero images, promotional graphics, or video thumbnails across landing pages and product pages.

Business value: Cleaner version management, reduced manual errors, and more reliable test execution.

7. Cross-team workflow for content production and experiment deployment

Data flow: Bi-directional

Creative teams can upload new assets and metadata into OpenText Core Digital Asset Management, while digital marketing teams can pull those assets into Optimizely to build and launch experiments. After launch, Optimizely can return usage data or campaign references to help content teams understand where assets are deployed. This creates a shared workflow between creative, marketing, and optimization teams.

Business value: Better collaboration, less duplication of effort, and faster time from asset creation to live testing.

8. Asset retirement and campaign cleanup after test completion

Data flow: Optimizely to OpenText Core Digital Asset Management

When an experiment ends in Optimizely, the integration can mark associated assets in OpenText Core Digital Asset Management as retired, archived, or no longer recommended for reuse. This helps teams avoid accidentally reusing outdated promotional content and keeps the asset library aligned with current campaigns.

Business value: Improved content hygiene, reduced operational clutter, and better lifecycle management of digital assets.
