The growing complexity of the typical enterprise IT environment requires better ways for managing the infrastructure. Often much information about the infrastructure is available, although in separate and incompatible systems management products. We present a prototype of an integration platform, called Fusio, that is based on semantic web and text-search technologies to bring this information into a common context. This approach is lightweight and flexible, and therefore enables the integration with other, nontraditional information sources.
