“A survey of corporate CIOs and general counsels found that, typically, 69% of the data most organizations keep can – and should – be deleted.”
Compliance, Governance and Oversight Counsel (CGOC) Summit
So what happens to the 69%? Most likely it will get migrated with no rhyme or reason. Just because it seems easier. And the organization is still left with mismanaged, useless information. That’s only one migration scenario. Migrations can be fraught with delays, budget overruns, and overall frustration. Register for this practical and informative webinar on March 25th, sponsored by Portal Solutions and Concept Searching and learn how you can eliminate migration challenges and reach the pinnacle of success.
What you will take away:
• Learn from Portal Solutions, an industry recognized SharePoint firm, the best practices and processes to approach migration
• Understand the key challenges that need to be overcome before migration
• Obtain buy-in and build the business case on why migration adds value and does not just move content from one place to another
• Take away a clear vision of the steps involved during migration and the phases to be accomplished
• Hear about Intelligent Migration technologies using conceptClassifier for SharePoint
• See how the technology is a key component in a migration solution
• Find the ROI of using one set of technologies to facilitate the migration process, and deploy metadata enabled solutions for search, content management, data protection, records management, and any application that uses metadata.
Metadata used to be an afterthought. Now, metadata is a pre-requisite and the optimal mechanism to drive business processes like security and records and, of course, to manage content.
In this session Robert Piddocke, our Vice President of Channel and Business Development – passionate about information management, and author of books on SharePoint Search – explores how going meta helps transcend typical metadata use.
Robert discusses SharePoint functionality and what needs to be put in place to deploy a metadata-driven enterprise and build a framework for the future, and how metadata can be used to automate and drive business processes, and proactively manage content.

Metadata Matters – Collaboration, Search, and Information Governance at Brail...Concept Searching, Inc
Brailsford & Dunlavey has earned a reputation as a premier national program management firm, overseeing billions of dollars in new construction and renovation projects. It offers comprehensive services, ranging from planning through implementation, and manages all areas of risk, and maintains constant control of budget, schedule, and quality.
Brailsford & Dunlavey’s goal was to update its SharePoint 2010 intranet, to refresh an out-of-the-box design and to improve usability and collaboration. The existing intranet lacked a clear governance structure, effective information architecture, and mobile accessibility. With nearly 70,000 documents and more than 8,000 list items on its intranet, and another 200,000 on its client portal, the firm needed a way to make intranet content significantly more accessible to employees across several national offices.
The redeveloped and redesigned intranet was implemented with responsive design, to encourage the highly mobile workforce to access the site from anywhere. The intranet’s new, intuitive design reflects the look and feel of Brailsford & Dunlavey’s public facing website, and the refreshed information architecture has provided a clear path to find important information.

Exploring Automatic Metadata Generation Based on SharePoint Term SetsConcept Searching, Inc
Many software products perform metadata capture and auto-classification, but SharePoint on-premises and SharePoint Online do not. Surveys indicate that the use of term sets is growing. Ideally, auto-classification of content to a taxonomy or to the SharePoint Term Store should be automatic and synchronized in real time.
This approach enables modification and fine tuning of data in a robust, secure, enterprise solution, which automatically populates term sets and eliminates the significant amount of development time typically needed. This session will discuss the different approaches to metadata generation – such as statistical, linguistic, and machine learning. And it will explore how automatically generating metadata adds value to all your SharePoint content, and automatically populates managed metadata properties.
You will learn:
* The benefits of metadata based on SharePoint term set structures.
* How you can manage term set GUIDs between farms.
* The relationship between managed metadata properties in SharePoint and document properties in Office documents.
* How to improve findability, regardless of which version of SharePoint you are using.
* What considerations you should give to scalability.
Metadata Matters Eliminating Manual Tagging in AllRegs by Ellie MaeConcept Searching, Inc
AllRegs by Ellie Mae is the leading information publisher for the mortgage industry, and wanted to improve findability and search for its mortgage lending content library, AllRegs Online. Join us for this very interesting webinar with Lynn Richmond, Product Manager for AllRegs by Ellie Mae, as we look at the benefits of metadata management, standardization, and auto-classification of content to taxonomies.
With a content library spanning every aspect of the mortgage industry – literally hundreds of thousands of documents – rarely a day goes by without the majority of mortgage professionals visiting the AllRegs by Ellie Mae website.
The company sought to leverage advanced technology to continue to bring its customers a world-class library of mortgage lending research and reference content. The challenge was the tagging of content manually, by the internal publishers. As with all manual tagging, inconsistencies existed.
conceptClassifier was selected because of its ability to automatically generate compound term metadata, as well as tight integration with FAST Search. The result was the elimination of end user tagging.
If your organization is thinking about adopting a new approach to metadata tagging, this webinar is for you.
Join the webinar to:
• Understand the reasons AllRegs by Ellie Mae needed to update its technology
• Learn best practices and approaches that enabled the successful deployment of the solution

Exploring Automatic Metadata Generation Based on SharePoint Term SetsConcept Searching, Inc
Many software products perform metadata capture and auto-classification, but SharePoint on-premises and SharePoint Online do not. Surveys indicate that the use of term sets is growing. Ideally, auto-classification of content to a taxonomy or to the SharePoint Term Store should be automatic and synchronized in real time.
This approach enables modification and fine tuning of data in a robust, secure, enterprise solution, which automatically populates term sets and eliminates the significant amount of development time typically needed. This session will discuss the different approaches to metadata generation – such as statistical, linguistic, and machine learning. And it will explore how automatically generating metadata adds value to all your SharePoint content, and automatically populates managed metadata properties.
You will learn:
* The benefits of metadata based on SharePoint term set structures.
* How you can manage term set GUIDs between farms.
* The relationship between managed metadata properties in SharePoint and document properties in Office documents.
* How to improve findability, regardless of which version of SharePoint you are using.
* What considerations you should give to scalability.

84% of Migration Projects Fail – Getting it Right in SharePoint WebinarConcept Searching, Inc
Migration of unstructured content can be a laborious and time consuming project. Many documents can exist in multiple places at the same time, different revisions of the same document can exist, some documents should be deleted and others should be archived. Documents can reside on file shares, older versions of SharePoint, or other legacy content management systems.
There may be records that were never declared, as well as confidential or private information that will not be identified when migrated. The ability to mass move content is relatively straight forward. However, simply mass moving content will result in the same problem of mismanaged and unorganized content.
Learn how to avoid the typical pitfalls and get it right the first time.
In this webinar Portal Solutions and Concept Searching will address SharePoint migration issues, information architecture and best practices to ensure your migration doesn’t result in the typical project over-runs, post-upgrade production issues and unanticipated down time.
We will explore the strategies to design a taxonomy and metadata schema that will be the basis for information architecture in SharePoint, while understanding the functional planning of how users will interact with the various information elements within the SharePoint environment.
What you will learn about during this session:
• Best practices in defining a SharePoint information architecture
• Aligning the architecture with the business goals
• What is a metadata schema and why it's so important
• How to design a schema aligned to the business and its processes
• How conceptual metadata generation builds a consistent end user experience and decreases migration effort
• Differences between a proprietary taxonomy solution and a fully integrated SharePoint term store solution
• How to plan, architect and test your migration in an iterative fashion
• Maximize the return on investment from your migration budget
• Automatic migration of content driven by classification of metadata
SharePoint migrations rarely turn out as you plan them. They are sometimes risky and too often take longer than planned. Over the last 10 years of migrating from SharePoint 2003, 2007, 2010 to the latest versions of SharePoint/Office 365 we’ve seen a consistent theme -- organizations underestimate the complexity and level of effort required for a successful, smooth migration.
Whether you are planning to complete your own migration, or engaging a vendor to assist, this webinar will discuss precautions you can take to avoid the slippery slope experienced in SharePoint migrations.
Join Jill Hannemann, Adam Levithan and our special guest Ryan Tully from Metalogix as they:
- Go through the assessment steps to understand the full landscape of your existing SharePoint environment
- Review methodologies for moving content from one environment to the next
- Outline precautions you should take in migrating to either SharePoint 2013 on-premise or online

If end users in your organization are like most, they don’t use the delete key often enough. The result is an overwhelming amount of saved content.
Records are often not declared, sensitive or privacy information lacks control, and redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) files slow down search. All this causes noncompliance, and makes migration more complicated than it should be.
In this session we discuss content optimization, what it does, and why it should be done on a quarterly basis. We share details on how to reduce the number of servers needed, and experience a speedy, problem-free migration through content optimization.

Much ado about nothing? There is a difference between these solutions, and your organization should be ready to leverage your technology investment.
What you will take away:
• The difference between ECM and CLM, and why it matters • How does CLM address compliance, governance, and records management?
• How and why you should set up CLM as an infrastructure framework • How to remove end users from the process of content management, to eliminate errors and rework • What does the digital workplace have to do with anything?
• Why an open connector framework is no longer a nice-to-have, but a must-have
ARMA Calgary Spring Seminar: The Nuts and Bolts of Metadata Tagging and Taxon...Concept Searching, Inc
Michael Pay, Concept Searching's Chief Technology Officer, will be speaking at the ARMA Calgary Spring Seminar on Tuesday April 25th, 2017 on:
The Nuts and Bolts of Metadata Tagging and Taxonomies Made Easy
Taxonomies are often thought of as hard to use and needing specialized applications or IT skills. Not so with Concept Searching’s unique technologies. Join Michael Paye, Concept Searching’s Chief Technology Officer, to see how taxonomies, auto-classification, and multi-term metadata generation unburden the IT team, eliminate end user tagging, and empower business users.
This session focuses on records management challenges in Office 365, Microsoft Exchange, and file shares, demonstrating:
• Automated multi-term metadata generation
• Unique taxonomy tools and interactive features, such as clue suggestion, instant feedback, and assigning weights to terms
• Flexible and simple reporting across the three repositories
• Automated records identification
• Tagging of content directly in Office 365 and on file shares
In our SharePoint and Office 365 State of the Market survey results, collaboration was seen as a must-have for organizations of all sizes.
Opening the floodgates to information sharing may have unintended consequences. This webinar examines secure collaboration, and discusses ways to overcome potential security breaches.
The session provides information about the tools needed to create a plan for successful collaboration:
• How to move beyond standard descriptors and identify confidential phrases and keywords from within content
• Easily set up workflows, to detect data breaches before they occur
• Deliver intelligent content in context, to control and authorize access within documents
• How to ensure compliance and governance
Speakers:
Michael Paye – Chief Technology Officer at Concept Searching
Carla Mulley – Vice President of Marketing at Concept Searching
Join Concept Searching and partner C/D/H for this thought-provoking webinar on what intelligent enterprise search should be.
Our solution is unique in the marketplace, and overcomes the limitations of other enterprise search engines. It was originally deployed as an enterprise search solution for engineers and support staff.
This webinar will focus on how one unified view of all unstructured, semi-structured, and structured data assets, including 2D and 3D images, can be integrated into the search interface, with previewers and navigational aids.
Both business and technical professionals will benefit from this session:
• Understand how the technology works, and how it can be set up with a platform and search engine of choice
• See how search returns results, and provides visual and navigational aids for all information retrieved
• Watch how to select an image based on color, size, or shape
• Learn how any business or artificial intelligence applications can benefit from the multi-term metadata created
• Find out why the search framework provides a responsive user interface for any tablet, PC or mobile device
The value of metadata still falls under the radar, business professionals ask ‘what’s in it for me?’ and IT professionals realize that, for the most part, manually created metadata is meaningless. The answer is to automatically generate metadata. This session will examine how automating tagging with end user involvement is ineffective, and capturing existing metadata is useful, but nuances, relationships, and concepts are lost, unless terms are manually added, which are highly subjective.
The somewhat elusive, missing component is how to automatically generate metadata capable of identifying concepts within content, in the context in which the content was written, without end user participation. This opens the door to reuse the metadata to drive other processes. Discover why having the right metadata is key when analyzing documents, not only generating appropriate metadata automatically but also generating metadata that contains concepts within the context of the environment. Before pushing that metadata to SharePoint or preparing documents for migration.
You will learn:
* How you can automatically get metadata into the Microsoft search index.
* How to can optimize your content migration by classifying documents.
* Understand how content can be processed, regardless of location – online or on-premises.
* How metadata can be surfaced in the search refinement panel.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Sum of parts is greater than whole
22. 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 mistagged 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 Metadata Challenge?
23. • Concept Searching‟s unique statistical concept identification underpins all technologies
• Multi-word suggestion is explicitly more valuable than single term suggestion algorithms
Concept Searching has a unique approach to ensure success
• conceptClassifier for SharePoint will generate conceptual
metadata by extracting multi-word terms that identify
„triple heart bypass‟ as a concept as opposed to single keywords
• Metadata can be used by any search engine index or any
application/process that uses metadata.

How Intelligent Migration
Impacts Content Lifecycle Management
25. Products
conceptClassifier for SharePoint and conceptClassifier for Office
365 platforms:
• conceptClassifier
Both automated and manual classification is supported to one or more term sets
within the Term Store and across content hubs.
• conceptTaxonomyManager
This is an advanced enterprise class, easy-to-use taxonomy and term set
development and management tool. It integrates natively with the SharePoint Term
Store, reading and writing in real time, ensuring that the taxonomy/term set definition
is maintained in only one place.
• conceptSearch Compound Term Indexing Engine
Licensed for the sole use of building and refining the taxonomy/term set, the engine
provides automatic semantic metadata generation that extracts multi-word terms or
concepts along with keywords and acronyms.
Optional Product:
• conceptTaxonomyWorkflow
Can perform an action on a document following a classification decision when
certain criteria are met. The workflow source type works in SharePoint 2007, 2010,
and 2013, all document types, including FILE and HTTP.
26. The Typical Migration Approach
• Compliance objectives need to be met, and a typical loop hole is in the
migration process
• Simply moving documents from one repository is not enough
• Content that was typically unmanaged will remain unmanaged
• Results in exposing an organization to risk
• Information cannot be managed from inception to deletion without
comprehensive metadata associated with the content
• Migration of unstructured content can be laborious and time consuming
• Documents can exist in multiple places at the same time, different revisions of
the same document exist, some documents should be deleted, and others
should be archived
• There may be records that were never declared, as well as confidential or
privacy information that will not be identified when migrated
• From an information governance approach, mass moving content results
in the same problem of mismanaged content
27. The Intelligent Migration Approach
• To migrate document collections effectively, the text content of each document
needs to be searched to determine its value
• Cannot be done manually
• Volume is too high
• Consistency of human decision making is unreliable and costly
• If manually processed, the security rights of the documents as they are moved
to their new location must be applied
• General migration tools cannot safeguard document confidentiality because
they do not make intelligent taxonomy workflow decisions
• As content is migrated it is analyzed for organizationally defined descriptors
and vocabularies
• Automatically classify the content to taxonomies or the SharePoint
Term Store
• Automatically apply organizationally defined workflows to process
the content to the appropriate repository for review and disposition
28. Elements of The Intelligent Migration Approach
• Index Content
• File Shares to File Shares, File Share to SharePoint
• SharePoint to SharePoint
• Custom Action – from any other repository (.NET code and Web services)
• Plug in architecture to custom develop content sources and destination
sources
• Connect to Concept Searching taxonomies or the SharePoint Term Store
• Train system to accurately classify content using clues, multi-word concepts,
rules, and metadata clues – file properties, file path, keywords, dates, etc.
• Set up rules for workflow
• Automatically generate semantic metadata, auto-classify and route
to appropriate SharePoint site, library, or folder
30. Situation:
• Multiple Clients
Challenge:
• Simply moving content to new location did not
provide any benefits
• Human error and time was too costly
Solution:
• conceptClassifier for SharePoint platform
Benefits:
• Cleanses irrelevant and unnecessary documents
• Dramatically reduces the time for migration
• Eliminates manual intervention
• Improves the outcome enabling improvements in:
• Search
• Records management
• Data privacy
• eDiscovery and litigation support
• Text analytics
Smart Content Framework™ Building Blocks

Global Supplier of Automotive Parts
The goal was to improve search for
147,000 business users but needed to
migrate literally millions of documents.
conceptClassifier for SharePoint was
used for the pre and post migration and
for enabling concept based searching
with their existing search engine and
taxonomy based search after the
migration.
conceptClassifier for SharePoint
identified 66,000 duplicates out of a
total of 270,000 documents,
representing a 24% reduction in disk
space.
32. Final Comments – Q&A
• Implement best practices and utilize SharePoint and migration
experts to assist
• View migration as a business objective, not an admin task
• Effective migration can improve search, content management,
security, records management, text analytics, eDiscovery, litigation
support….and the list goes on

Traditional search assumes the end user knows what they are looking for, or must enter the ‘right’ combination of words to get the ‘right’ result.Knowledge workers need to identify content in the context of what they are seeking. The fundamental problem with search solutions is that they are based on an index of single words. Yet most queries are expressed in short patterns of words and not single words in isolation – which are highly ambiguous. In the example above, a search engine would identify all the documents that contained the words: triple, heart, bypass instead of documents that contained the concept of ‘triple heart bypass’. Since the concept has been identified, other documents that have related concepts will be identified even if they do not contain that exact phrase. The metadata generation issue is increasingly a growing concern in enterprises. Not only for search but also for records management, compliance, and enterprise content management. A comprehensive approach requires more than syntactic metadata and requiring end users to add rich metadata is haphazard and subjective at best. Since conceptClassifier for SharePoint is no longer restricted to keyword identification, compound term metadata can be automatically generated either when the content is created or ingested. The generation of metadata based on concepts extracts compound terms and keywords from a document or corpus of documents that are highly correlated to a particular concept. By identifying the most significant patterns in any text, these compound terms can then be used to generate non-subjective metadata based on an understanding of conceptual meaning. Compound term processing can address many challenges facing large enterprises and provide many benefits. Identification of concepts within a large corpus of information removes the ambiguity in search, eliminates inconsistent meta-tagging, and automatic classification and taxonomy management based on concept identification simplifies development and on-going maintenance.
