With the increase in unstructured information, organizations are looking for new ways to not only improve their search and retrieval process, but also manage and leverage their information assets to improve performance when migrating information. In this webinar InfoStrata Solutions and Concept Searching will discuss strategies for analyzing your existing information, to categorize and prioritize your assets prior to migrating to SharePoint. We will explore how to leverage the Term Store in different ways to manage content, and how migration and storage costs can be reduced by de-duplicating, removing, or archiving obsolete content. What you will take away from this session: • Understand the migration process, to ensure important content is not lost • Learn how Concept Searching’s Smart Content Framework™ can provide a new way to undertake bulk migrations • Learn strengths and weaknesses of the information management capabilities of SharePoint 2010 and 2013 • Best practices on managing content with the Term Store • The difference between a proprietary taxonomy solution and a fully integrated Term Store solution • Intuitive and unique features in conceptTaxonomyManager that integrate with the SharePoint Term Store, leveraging metadata to drive business value Speakers: Mark Adams, Director at InfoStrata Solutions Paul Billingham, Sales Director of Europe at Concept Searching John Challis, Founder and CTO at Concept Searching

4. What is Enterprise Content?

5. • Proactive management of the
lifecycle of content
• Accountability of information across
all stakeholders in the organization
• Automatic policy enforcement for
records management, compliance,
data privacy
• Improve organizational agility and
productivity by gaining insight into
knowledge assets
• Reduces corporate risk, fines,
sanctions associated with non-
compliance
Estimated ROI of 38%-600% (IDC)

content is not lost

6. A Manual Metadata Approach Will Fail 95%+ Of The Time
Issue Organizational Impact
Inconsistent Less than 50% of content is correctly indexed, meta-tagged or
efficiently searchable rendering it unusable to the organization. (IDC)
Subjective Highly trained Information Specialists will agree on meta tags between
33% - 50% of the time. (C. Cleverdon)
Cumbersome - expensive Average cost of manually tagging one item runs from $4 - $7 per
document and does not factor in the accuracy of the meta tags nor the
repercussions from mis-tagged content. (Hoovers)
Malicious compliance End users select first value in list.
(Perspectives on Metadata, Sarah Courier)
No perceived value for end user What’s in it for me? End user creates document, does not see value
for organization nor risks associated with litigation and non-
conformance to policies.
What have you seen Metadata will continue to be a problem due to inconsistent human
behavior.
The answer to consistent metadata is an automated approach that can extract the meaning
from content eliminating manual metadata generation yet still providing the ability to manage
knowledge assets in alignment with the unique corporate knowledge infrastructure.
Manual Approach Leads to Failure

Feedback
• Build and validate new term sets in minutes and hours instead of weeks,
months and quarters. Saves tens of thousands of dollars on taxonomy
consulting and manpower efforts.

future?
• Tried migrating your content to the cloud for improved access?
• Multiply that by XXXXs people when you have no idea about their
content!

• Permissions (keep or remap)
• Inheritance
• SharePoint Search, “Putability and Findability”
• Document content analysis - classification
• Getting, utilising and generating useful metadata

• Improved findability
• Content routing
• Content Types - location, security, views, lifecycles
• Target design
• Optimising storage
• Reducing complexity and size of SharePoint infrastructure
• Options - not one method fits all
