automating metadata for sharepoint - introducing firestring's serendipity for sharepoint

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!

Almost all organizations have this problem:

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!

Organizations have robust ECM systems and record management systems to handle governed content.

These systems rely on user adoption and metadata.

What’s the Current Landscape?

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.

In A Perfect 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.

But, In the Real World…

Relies on user-added metadata for search to work effectively.

For non FAST users, SharePoint doesn’t index the content of a document.

What’s the Problem With Standard SharePoint Search?
