OpenText Lens - Data Visibility is designed to discover, classify, and analyze unstructured data across repositories, helping organizations identify sensitive, redundant, obsolete, and compliance-relevant content. Because the second application was not specified, the integration use cases below are written for OpenText Lens - Data Visibility as the data discovery and assessment layer that can feed downstream governance, migration, security, and operational workflows in X.
Data flow: OpenText Lens - Data Visibility to X
OpenText Lens - Data Visibility scans file shares, content repositories, and collaboration platforms to identify sensitive or obsolete content. The results are sent into X to create governance tasks, assign owners, and trigger remediation workflows such as retention review, legal hold validation, or deletion approval. This reduces manual review effort and gives compliance teams a prioritized queue of risky content.
Data flow: OpenText Lens - Data Visibility to X
Before a content migration, OpenText Lens - Data Visibility identifies duplicate, stale, and high-risk files across source repositories. X receives the inventory and classification results to build migration worklists, exclude obsolete content, and route exceptions to business owners. This improves migration quality, lowers storage and transfer costs, and reduces the risk of moving noncompliant data into the target environment.
Data flow: Bi-directional
OpenText Lens - Data Visibility flags content that may violate policy, such as personal data stored in unauthorized locations or records retained beyond policy limits. X can create remediation cases, assign them to data owners, and track status through closure. Updates from X can be sent back to OpenText Lens - Data Visibility to confirm remediation outcomes and maintain an audit trail for regulators and internal auditors.
Data flow: OpenText Lens - Data Visibility to X
OpenText Lens - Data Visibility identifies repositories containing sensitive intellectual property, regulated data, or exposed confidential documents. X can ingest this risk profile to prioritize security reviews, access recertification, or repository hardening activities. This helps security teams focus on the highest-risk content first instead of relying on broad, manual sampling.
Data flow: OpenText Lens - Data Visibility to X
OpenText Lens - Data Visibility detects content that matches records categories or retention-sensitive criteria. X can use that information to route items for records declaration, retention assignment, or disposition approval. This supports consistent records handling across departments and reduces the chance of premature deletion or over-retention.
Data flow: OpenText Lens - Data Visibility to X
When OpenText Lens - Data Visibility identifies sensitive or business-critical content without a clear owner, X can map repository metadata to business units, create ownership tasks, and escalate unresolved items. This is especially useful in large enterprises where legacy shares and collaboration spaces have weak stewardship. Clear ownership improves accountability for cleanup, access control, and retention decisions.
Data flow: OpenText Lens - Data Visibility to X
OpenText Lens - Data Visibility provides the underlying inventory and classification metrics, while X consolidates them into operational dashboards for compliance, legal, IT, and business leadership. Typical metrics include volume of sensitive content, percentage of obsolete files, remediation progress, and repository risk scores. This gives leadership a consistent view of data exposure and cleanup progress across the enterprise.
If you share the actual name and purpose of X, I can tailor these use cases to that platform specifically and make the integration scenarios more precise.
