product adoption
18. 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)
Risky 59% of middle managers miss valuable information every day
because they can’t find it or never see it (Accenture)
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 does not see value for organization nor
risks associated with litigation and non- conformance to policies. Less
than 14% of end users receive training. (AIIM)
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
19. Intelligent Knowledge Flow – Expert Knowledge Transfer
• Discovery Machine and Concept Searching have combined
artificial intelligence with expert knowledge, metadata generation,
auto-classification, and taxonomy management to deliver expert
knowledge transfer
• conceptClassifier
• Automatically generates semantic metadata
• Auto-classifies content
• Provides the most relevant and accurate information for Discovery
Machine's Knowledge Service Modeler
20. Benefits
• Reduce costs, risks, and time associated with information governance,
records management, data privacy, and government mandates
• Improve information governance - find trusted and relevant information
on health and safety, asset maintenance, compliance guidelines
• Effective content identification and classification, regardless of content
location in the enterprise
• Eliminate the error and cost burdens of identification and management
of records
• Document knowledge in the context of business process to create
tangible knowledge assets
• Increase the quality of information for decision making
• Automatic migration of content driven by classification of metadata
21. • Metadata driven application and enforcement of policies - conceptClassifier has been
deployed since 2003 to automatically generate metadata and use that metadata to apply and enforce
policies. Most clients are using the platform to support their information governance strategy.
• Proven, mature functionality out of the box - The platform has been deployed in numerous sites
and applications across the enterprise, including SharePoint 2007, 2010, 2013, Office 365, Documentum,
Hummingbird, SQL Server, Oracle, File Shares, and web sites.
Smart Content Framework™
Getting It Right
22. • Concept Searching’s statistical concept identification underpins all technologies
• Multi-word suggestion is explicitly more valuable than single term suggestion algorithms
• conceptClassifier will generate conceptual metadata by
extracting multi-word terms that identify ‘triple heart bypass’
as a concept as opposed to single keywords
• conceptTaxonomyManager uses statistical concept
identification to provide real-time feedback during the process
of building, testing, refining, and deploying taxonomies
• Metadata can be used by any search engine index or any
application/process that uses metadata.
