SharePoint has always had a big emphasis on Content Management. This focus has been become stronger version by version. We've had more and more options to organize and classify content through sites, lists, libraries and folders, as well as managed metadata and other properties. These tools help build a SharePoint Information Architecture and are the foundation for improving document search within SharePoint. But as that architecture gets more complex, users can get overwhelmed by the amount of content, and can find themselves easily with a tons of siloed content and, at the same time, with lots of content that cannot be found at all. In these scenarios, Search can be a good option to help getting better findability, but sometimes it’s not enough. In this webinar, we’ll discuss some real-world Content Management use cases and demonstrate how content analytics can help to improve in these scenarios.
