Still looking at SharePoint metadata management, auto-classification and taxonomy solutions? You should be. Manual tagging and the Term Store won’t solve your problems, which are only going to get worse.
We’ve taken our industry leading conceptClassifier for SharePoint and conceptClassifier for Office 365 products and made them into add-ins.
Take your pick – SharePoint solution or add-in solution. We offer both. This webinar explains why an add-in and conceptClassifier will deliver your strategy for the future.
Both solutions are available on-premises, online, or in a hybrid environment. We have it covered.
Anyone can tag a document, but that is the problem. People will tag with varying degrees of accuracy, or worse still, with no accuracy. If documents are tagged accurately, then controlling and managing unstructured documents correctly is made possible. This session will review the pitfalls of manual tagging, and demonstrate the current capabilities of automatic document classification. It will also explore how intelligent metadata solutions benefit business operations, by improving migration, records management, deduplication and search.

SharePoint and Office 365 State of the Market Survey Results WebinarConcept Searching, Inc
This engaging and thought-provoking bird’s-eye view of projects your SharePoint and Office 365 colleagues are working on, their priorities and future initiatives, and what’s been put on the back burner.
What did the survey respondents tell us?
• Hybrid search is perceived as a nice-to-have feature, but not something organizations will be using to address their priority of improving search.
• Collaboration is this year’s must-have, while text analytics and social business applications are at the bottom of the priority list.
• Enterprise search and content lifecycle management have become high priorities, yet 91% of organizations still perform manual tagging.
• Critical business applications, such as records management, enterprise metadata management, eDiscovery, and security, are most often managed on-premises.
• Security is still the primary concern, but its importance has decreased from 59% last year to 40% this year.

“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.

During this session we will step through the evolution of metadata within SharePoint and explore what the future holds for managing metadata in a large enterprise.
The Slippery Slope of Migrating to SharePoint Online or On-PremiseAdam Levithan
SharePoint migrations rarely turn out as you plan them, 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 migration.
Whether you are planning to complete your own migration, or engaging a vendor to assist, this tutorial will discuss precautions you can take to avoid the slippery slope experienced in SharePoint migrations.
During this tutorial, we will:
•Evaluate options of moving content from various systems of origin (including previous versions of SharePoint and non-Microsoft CMS)
•Go through the assessment steps to understand the full landscape of your existing environment
•Review methodologies for moving content from one environment to the next
•Review a check list of precautions you should take in migrating to either SharePoint 2013 on-premise or online
•Create a migration strategy you can take back to your organization
Don't Make Us Think: Getting SharePoint to be Useful, Usable, and UsedJ. Kevin Parker, CIP
SharePoint is infamous for being unuseful, unusable, and unused. But the fault is not in the technology—usually, it is a failure to adequately plan and execute practical business solutions that causes SharePoint projects to flounder. It's about user adoption: people need to do their jobs without having to think about how the tools work. In this session, we will explore how to make SharePoint useful, usable, and used through simple information architecture and governance. Presented by J. Kevin Parker from NEOSTEK.
Presented to the Baltimore SharePoint User's Group (BSPUG) in August 2016.

As we all know, more and more organizations are starting to question “Do we or do we not implement Office 365?”. However, as these discussions are taking place; governance is rarely addressed or considered. The main reason is that the majority believe that once they have implemented governance that they are done; unless there is an update such as a server name change or an employee change (such as a departure or addition). During the initial planning around governance it is likely that there were discussions around auditing of the governance document and potential quarterly reviews to ensure that the document is up to date and still fits the business. However, it is common to forget that after that fact; even though it is documented “within the governance document”.
Governance becomes even more important with Office 365 just because its cloud based and ever changing with new and deprecated features on a pretty regular basis. This means all of the content, backup, recovery, etc. are all handled by Microsoft and you have virtually no control over it (Can you say MAJOR SLA impact?). In this session we will review the areas of concern and how they can be addressed within the governance document, the importance of reviewing the document frequently; and ways to make the information available to your internal SharePoint Community. In addition, we will review the features of Office 365 that will have a major impact on SharePoint and Office Apps. We will review each of these applications and the areas of importance that should be addressed in the governance document, as well as why each of them are important.

It's always been a dilemma -- do you invest in servers, licenses and people to set up and maintain a fully controllable SharePoint infrastructure in-house, or is it time to explore hosting SharePoint off-premise? Legal IT professionals have been struggling with this decision for years.
The on-premise option offers peace of mind from a security and controllability standpoint, but comes saddled with high costs, a demand for resources and limited scalability. SharePoint Online, on the other hand, alleviates the burden associated with SharePoint on-premise by removing the need for servers, software licenses and personnel, and can be rolled out to a large pool of people virtually overnight. However, you'll still need support for integration projects. Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of each option and give you recommendations based on our experiences, deployments and feedback.

Anatomy of an Intranet (Triangle SharePoint User Group) January 2016Michael Greene
Presented at the Triangle SharePoint User Group (TRISPUG.com) on January 5, 2016.
While many people see the intranet as a pretty (hopefully) homepage, in reality the modern enterprise intranet is a complex animal of many moving parts. Structuring of the information within the intranet, how that information is presented to the user, how the user interacts with it, how the organization manages it, and the physical branding that sits on top of all of it are all critical conversations to have if an intranet is going to be effective. In this session we’ll explore the building blocks of a successful intranet and discuss common intranet pitfalls to avoid on your next intranet roll-out.
You Spoke, We Listened – Achieving a New Level of Search Optimization with Go...Concept Searching, Inc
Join us to learn how the combination of Google Search Appliance and conceptClassifier improves search outcomes. Concept Searching’s industry recognized technology, still unique in the market, provides the Google Search Appliance index with automatically generated semantic metadata, based on our core compound term processing, that generates multi-term metadata that represents concepts.
If you are using Google Search Appliance or evaluating search options, this webinar will provide highly useful information to understand how conceptClassifier improves search results in any search environment.
How does conceptClassifier improve Google Search Appliance results?
• Eliminates end user tagging.
• Automatically generates keywords and phrases that represent a concept.
• Accepts queries in natural language, with the user typing words, phrases or whole sentences, and inter-relationships among content,
• Retrieves highly relevant content even if the results do not contain the search string,
• Improves dynamic navigation through the use of semantic metadata.
• Improves result biasing as the results will automatically include related keywords and concepts.
• Eliminates the development of collections as the taxonomy hierarchy can be used to guide users to specific content based on their role and function – this also applies to segmentation.
• Can load synonym lists, but are not needed as the taxonomy manager component will recognize synonyms as well as related concepts during auto-classification. The results can be easily and quickly modified by an administrator.
• Blacklist and stop words can also be managed in the taxonomy component, without creating and uploading files and eliminating human subjectivity.
• Taxonomies are easily tuned and managed by Subject Matter Experts, providing unique features not available in any other taxonomy product.
Join us as we launch our 2015 webinar series, ‘Metadata Matters’, with Martin Garland, President of Concept Searching, and expert guest speaker Doug Miles, Director of Market Intelligence at AIIM, as they explore the state of the market for unstructured content. Find out what your peers are doing, what’s on the horizon, and how other organizations are tackling and solving many of the same metadata challenges that you face.
Unstructured data is both a liability and an opportunity. With the uncontrollable rate of unstructured content growth, organizations are beginning to realize that the time has come to proactively manage content from inception to disposal. The real problem that disruptively impacts the management of unstructured data is metadata. This informative webinar will discuss the factors that prevent and enable organizations to leverage metadata to improve the bottom line.
Topics to be discussed include:
• Are organizations living with or fixing the problem of metadata, and what is Business Critical Metadata?
• What are the biggest challenges your peers are facing in applications such as enterprise search, records management, security, migration, content management, collaboration, social tagging, and text analytics?
• Has the cloud become a debilitating factor when managing metadata?
• How is Microsoft changing the role of SharePoint, and what’s the impact of Office 365, OneDrive for Business, and Delve in managing content as an integrated enterprise asset?
• What are sound strategies that successful organizations use?
• Why adding structure and application functionality with metadata assists in identifying and achieving business value
• When evaluating vendors and tools, what are some of the questions you should ask?

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

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.

Learn how going meta helps transcend typical metadata use, and understand how to realize the potential of intelligent content in context.
Security tools don’t help when they work after the fact. Proactive identification of standard descriptors and confidential information must occur as content is created or ingested. Tough job? No, not really, as this webinar explains.
It takes only one vulnerability to cause a breach. 68% of all data breaches are caused internally. And 49% of SharePoint organizations have experienced at least one breach. There can be significant repercussions from data that has been exposed, ranging from hefty fines to irreparable brand damage.
Identifying and protecting data before breaches occur is the only way you can be certain that your content is protected. Most organizations are unprepared for this type of attack. Make sure yours is not one of them by understanding the issues and how to address them
• The big picture of security challenges – what’s hot with cyber criminals, and what’s not

Did you know that most migration projects run over budget or, even worse, fail? This webinar discusses the potential problems and how to address them.
The ability to mass move content is relatively straight forward but, from an information governance view, simply moving documents from one repository is not enough. Content that was unmanaged will remain unmanaged, continuing to expose organizations to risk.
Understand the sophisticated techniques needed to ensure compliance and records management objectives are met, during the migration process:
• The difference between migration and intelligent migration, and why it matters
• How intelligent migration facilitates the entire migration process
• Why compliance and governance go hand in hand with intelligent migration
• What content optimization is, and why is it a critical component of intelligent migration
• Why intelligent migration dramatically improves search

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.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
