Concept Searching has announced a new add-on option for its auto-classification, and taxonomy management software known as conceptTaxonomyWorkflow.

It provides administrators with the ability to independently manage access, information management, information rights management, and records management policy application within their respective business units and functional areas, without the need for IT support or access to enterprise-wide servers.

It aims to enhance compliance and information governance initiatives by accurately applying policy across applications and content repositories. The product is available as an optional component for all Concept Searching product platforms.

Used by the majority of Concept Searching clients, it has been employed as a migration tool, to automatically declare documents of records in the identification and protection of secure content, to improve any business process that needs to access and take action on metadata. Although an optional component, it provides a critical function in the management of enterprise policies addressing compliance. In line with Concept Searching’s software development approach, the product is easy to use, requires minimal training, and can be used to address multiple metadata management processes.

“Managing metadata and auto-classifying to taxonomies provides high value in applications such as search, text analytics, and business social. But many forward thinking organizations are now looking to leverage their enterprise metadata and use it to improve business processes aligned with compliance and information governance initiatives. To accomplish this successfully, technologies such as conceptTaxonomyWorkflow must be able to qualify metadata and process the content based on enterprise policies,” said Martin Garland, President of Concept Searching.

“A key benefit of the product is its ease of use and rapid deployment. It removes the lengthy application development cycle and can be used by a large community of business specialists as well as IT.”
