Data Categorization

Standardize, translate and categorize data

Undertaking the implementation of a content or document management system is no easy task. There are many pitfalls on the way to achieving the optimal solution for your organization. Not least of which is ensuring the new system contains all of the business content already published but existing outside of the managed environment.

The ability to prepare this data for use is just as important as moving the content into the new management system and involves the standard principles of data categorization. The core ways in which business content is prepared for enterprise use are:

  • Standardization - the ability to apply standards such as fonts, naming conventions, branding and formatting
  • Translation - modifying the data to allow its use in open, cross communication platforms such as portals, business intelligence systems and open enterprise applications
  • Document Categorization - the ability to group and associate related data flexibly through common values such as customer name, product or territory and categorize documents to a corporate standard
  • Data Categorization - the ability to apply data management concepts to the assembled data set (for example preparing the documents for inclusion within an Information Lifecycle Management - ILM - project)

Using Vamosa's innovative technology, Vamosa Content Migrator, it is possible to create complex pipelines of modification tasks that are triggered by events, specific dates and times or manually initiated. This enables a simple and repeatable process to categorize data and categorize documents.
