Moving this mess to SharePoint makes it worse
SharePoint Sux
The #1 rule of SharePoint?
Never use folders
Except when it makes sense
ever
Folders for Security
Permissions assigned per folder
A Brief Detour
Simple Mind Map
Mapping for Navigation
Mapping for Priorization
A SharePoint Taxonomy (Navigation)
Customer Type• Lab• Hospital• Clinic• Mobile

Magic Metadata Intersection
Increasing the likelihood of metadata success
It’s a question of focus
Metadata• Why?• Where?• How?
Share the responsibility
Less is more
To Sum Up…
•Do you have a better understanding of metadata and content types?
•Do you think you’ll be able to explain these concepts more easily to your stakeholders?
•Did you get value out of this presentation?
