Information Management Strategies
The best information management strategies focus on taxonomies
As an integral part of successful information management strategies, taxonomy has experienced recent growth in effectiveness and popularity. A taxonomy is a knowledge management solution for categorizing and organizing content in order to solve business problems. It offers a controlled vocabulary for metadata attributes and specifies relationships between terms within that vocabulary. A Web site's taxonomy, for example, is the way the site organizes data into categories and subcategories to make navigation easier for the user. Within a business, taxonomies can be a critical component of effective information management strategies to improve search and integrate information into workflow environments. But building a taxonomy from scratch is a challenge, and not always the most cost-effective solution. That's why so many companies seeking superior information management strategies turn to Dow Jones Client Solutions for assistance.
How strategies for better management of critical business information can boost performance
A taxonomy offers a number of high-impact benefits to your company. A taxonomy makes data searches faster and more successful by giving users a better idea of where to find what they're looking for. The result is greater productivity, more informed decisions, and an overall increase in organizational agility. Revenue from eCommerce can be increased by making it easier for customers to find what they're looking for on your Web site. Re-use of content can be improved by making it easier to find – thus increasing return on your investments in data. And content can be shared more easily between users with entirely different skill sets (e.g, IT and creative) because data is tagged with common metadata information. It's a simple solution to a complex problem, and Taxonomy Warehouse, sponsored by Dow Jones Client Solutions offers the information you need to put a better knowledge management system in place today.
