InfoFusion is an information access platform from OpenText that allows users to discover, analyze, and act on information from across an organization. It connects to different data sources, extracts metadata, and provides a unified search index. The roadmap outlines expanding connectors, search and analytics capabilities, and embeddable user interface components over the next three years. It aims to address issues like information silos, complex IT environments, and the need to access both structured and unstructured data.
