W24- Metadata are the future of intelligent information management. Automatic Generation of Metadata in SharePoint 2010 ensures quality, saves time and decreases the costs of searching for certain information.

Increasing amounts of information are making it difficult to keep an overview of the enterprise knowledge. Overall, an information Worker spends an average of 26 per cent a day looking for information.

Modern Content Management Systems like Microsoft 2010 help to manage knowledge efficiently by focusing on metadata as a new filing system. By using metadata content and documents are easier to find and can be published group-specific.

In SharePoint 2010, metadata is tagged manually. But manual content tagging takes much time, leads to inconsistent and heterogeneous data or it will not even be used.

According to an IDC study more than 50 percent of all data loss is due to employee negligence (IDC 2010). The solution is an automatic analysis of content and the extraction of relevant terms and named entities.

beyCoo for SharePoint enhances the capabilities of SharePoint 2010 in intelligent and automatic management of documents and content by using an automatic enrichment of suitable metadata.
