About OpenText SMAX

OpenText SMAX (Service Management Automation X) is a SaaS service desk platform for ITSM, ITAM, and ESM.

OpenText Service Management Automation X (SMAX) is a comprehensive SaaS solution for IT Service Management (ITSM), IT Asset Management (ITAM), and Enterprise Service Management (ESM).
