Let’s examine classification techniques and what technology is best suited for each type of organizational challenge.
KMWorld: Leveraging Automated Classification
KMWorld: Leveraging Automated Classification focuses on understanding the challenges that organizations face in selecting the right technologies and solutions.
Should Machines Do the Work or Humans?
Faster, better, more accurate. It seems as though the typical response to the need to improve speed, quality, or accuracy is to introduce technology into the mix. Does that mean humans don’t need to be involved? Autonomous Machine Learning Whether it’s artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, or a mix, the notion that computers and […]
Auto-classification Meets the Information Management Challenge Head-on
To address the information management problem, look at the quick wins, or as Joe Sheply of Doculabs calls it, the “first 100 pounds.” (Check out Joe’s recent article in CMSWire regarding cleaning-up shared file drives.) Just like the importance of having a healthy lifestyle, most businesses understand that it’s important to improve their control over […]

Why “How” We Approach Classification Matters
Imagine being assigned a task to group apples by type. Easy enough, you can organize into colors (green, red, orange-red, yellow), size (large and small) and taste/texture (sweet, tart, juicy, crisp, etc.). Now imagine being tasked with grouping apples that you are only allowed to see in black-and-white photos. All of a sudden, your choices […]
Five Key Classification Steps to Achieve Efficient Data Governance
Here we cover how to address the problems posed by a legacy system that has inadequate metadata in terms of both detail as well as coverage. Existing document types don’t have the metadata needed to support efficient governance and use, and new document types need to be created. Unless an organization is familiar with the […]
Beyond Metadata Buzz: Ensure Discovery, Distribution & Insight
The importance of metadata cannot be over emphasized as evidenced by John Horodyski’s most recent contribution to CMS Wire. Horodyski of Optimity Advisors makes a strong case for metadata as a critical first step with any project that involves managing content. Apparently, workers waste more than 40 percent of their time searching for existing assets. […]
Information Discovery: Beyond Traditional Classification Approaches
We are often asked about our classification capabilities, which complement our intelligent image and document capture. Since many solution providers in the document capture arena talk about providing “automatic document classification,” it’s worth exploring what this means. In most cases, it means the act of grouping documents or batch processing for the purposes of identifying […]
Silver Bullet: Broken Promise of Unstructured Search
I’m revealing my age here (or maybe just my nerdiness), but I remember a 70s movie called “Logan’s Run”. Its main premise was that, at the age of 30, you went to “Sanctuary” where you were supposed to move on to a great next life. Everyone’s happy. Spoiler alert: Logan seeks the truth and finds […]
Information Governance Takes Center Stage
Information governance takes center stage in Jason R. Baron’s most recent article, and it’s worth the read. He examines recent research findings of The Information Governance Initiative, a relatively new, but very active, consortium focused on advancing the understanding and practices associated with information governance. We’ve all heard (and are probably tired) of big data, information […]
Document Classification – Two words that cover a lot of ground
With the age of “big data” and “information chaos” upon us, a lot of attention has turned to how to “tame” the large volumes of information traversing the physical and virtual boundaries of organizations. The concept of informaiton governance, while not entirely new, has taken a larger prominance in media and within industry. Within information […]
