We explored how SharePoint can be enhanced to establish an ECM framework that ensures the availability, usability, integrity, and security of an enterprise’s information, and enables information consumers to:
• Find trusted and relevant information regarding health and safety, asset maintenance, and compliance guidelines such as OSHA, for key information for decision making
• Ensure accurate records management, regulatory compliance, and improve eDiscovery, and litigation support processes
• Identify and secure potential confidential or sensitive information exposures
• Rapidly address unexpected failures in processes, such as pipeline leaks or natural disasters
• Enable multinational content asset protection and authorization to assets
• Automate application and enforcement of policies
• Quickly react to deploy project-based hybrid cloud and on-premise collaborative solutions

The Shale Revolution’s Impact on Data Management
• “Startup and Flip” Strategy
• Horizontal Drilling = More Time-Based Files
• Mergers and Acquisitions
• Changing Workforce Demographics
. . . as a result, an explosion in unstructured data assets and
renewed focus on search-driven ECM as part of data
management strategy and best practices . . .
10. What is Records Management?
• Records Management is the control of records throughout their
lifecycle from creation to destruction
Importance
• Documents are at the center of everything we do; strategy,
development, operations and compliance
• How we manage documents directly affects our ability to compete and
comply; improving our efficiency
Create Store Access Retain Destruct
• Know what records
you create or receive
• Ensure records are
properly stored
• Utilize tool
• Provide identifying
information
• Set security for
sensitive
information
• Per Petroleum
Retention Policy
• Ensures records remain
usable, reliable and
accessible through their
retention term
• Dispose
appropriately when
retention term is
met

13. • Concept Searching’s unique 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.

Unique Approach that Ensures Success
14. • Metadata driven application and enforcement of policies - conceptClassifier has been
deployed since 2010 to automatically generate metadata and use that metadata to apply and enforce
policies. Many 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 MOSS and SharePoint 2010, 2013, Stellent, Documentum,
SQL, Oracle, File Shares, Exchange via SharePoint and across the enterprise.
Smart Content Framework™
Sum of parts is greater than whole
15. Manual Tagging is a
Behavior Modification Problem
conceptClassifier automates the tagging process to remove the
behavior modification problem of manual tagging for Governance,
Findability and Migration
• conceptClassifier increases productivity,
improves ‘Findability’, automates
‘Governance’, migrates content
• Organizes intellectual assets and
provides a factor of improvement for end
users to find company information with
an automated tagging approach for any
search platform
• Improves ability to target content through
EMM/TS with 2013 Search and
SharePoint 2010/2013
• Improves SharePoint Portal Adoption
• Aligns content with governance polices
and federally mandated requirements
• Intelligently migrates content into and out
of SharePoint
• Mitigates Risk
• Reduces federal governance, corporate
information policy, and personally
identifiable information exposures while
improving eDiscovery audit capabilities
and ensuring alignment with content
retention policies
• Lowers cost of Administration
• Leverages native integration to
Microsoft stack, manages migration of
GUIDS
• Lowers cost of ownership to build out
and administer EMM/Term Store
• Intelligent content migration
• Intuitive user interface for easy
product adoption
16. 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
17. • Create enterprise automated metadata framework/model
• Average return on investment minimum of 38% and
runs as high as 600% (IDC)
• Apply consistent meaningful metadata to enterprise content
• Incorrect meta tags costs an organization $2,500 per
user per year – in addition potential costs for non-
compliance (IDC)
• Guide users to relevant content with taxonomy navigation
• Savings of $8,965 per year per user based on an $80K
salary (Chen & Dumais)
• 100% ‘Recall’ of content, 35% Faster access to
content ‘Precision’
• Use automatic conceptual metadata generation to improve
Records Management
• Eliminate inconsistent end user tagging at $4-$7 per
record (Hoovers)
• Improve compliance processes, eliminate potential
privacy exposures
