Serendipity for SharePoint enables a tangible ROI for organisations using SharePoint. - Huge amounts of time is saved by automating metadata so that users don’t have to tag their documents. More accurate search results are displayed for SharePoint end-users. - The SharePoint search experience is radically enhanced. - Users can find and re-use IP instead of re-inventing the wheel.

2. Almost all organizations have this problem:
 Organizational data is growing exponentially.
 Typically each year’s data is larger than all previous years combined.
Storing this data is expensive.
 100% increase in data does not equate to a 100% increase in
information. We are suffering from the law of diminishing returns. It
does equate to a 100% increase in storage space!

3. What If The Enterprise Used Web Technologies
Like Those We Enjoy in the Consumer Space…
It’s easier to find information on the Web than it is within our own business!

4. What’s the Current Landscape?
 Organizations have robust ECM systems and record management
systems to handle governed content.
 These systems rely on user adoption and metadata.

5. In A Perfect World…
 Your users will always upload important content.
 Your users will always tag content.
 Your users will not upload duplicate content.
 We no longer suffer from diminishing returns.

6. But, In the Real World…
 Documents stored in ECM applications are rarely accessed and re-used.
 Users are reluctant to add metadata to documents.
 The behavioral change around using search in a structured way is often
difficult to achieve.

7. What’s the Problem With Standard SharePoint Search?
 Relies on user-added metadata for search to work effectively.
 For non FAST users, SharePoint doesn’t index the content of a
document.
Serendipity for SharePoint does it differently.
