Covisint was an American information technology company that was purchased by OpenText,[1] a Canadian company for US$103 million in July, 2017[2][3]. Covisint was established in 2000 by a consortium of organizations, including General Motors, Ford, and DaimlerChrysler. In February 2004, Compuware Corporation acquired Covisint.[4] Compuware completed a spin-off of Covisint on October 31, 2014. Covisint was fully independent of Compuware until its purchase by OpenText.[5]

Initially focused in the automotive industry, they have expanded into the healthcare, oil and gas, government, and financial services.[citation needed] Covisint has offices in Southfield, San Francisco, Shanghai, Coventry and Frankfurt.
