MicrosoftI agree with Maria_Espino_Catapult with little expansion.
There are some old concepts that still hold value. Who ever worked professionally with document/record management and in designing software solutions will tell you that you cannot ask end user to classify documents or to do anything that is outside of the user’s role. If you can provide content for metadata from the system don’t ask user to type it in…
The content management effort culminated in SharePoint 2010 with managed metadata service, taxonomy/term store, content type hub, document centers and record center followed natural information lifecycle and offered “location” context when collaborative structure followed corporate structure. The ability to propagate changes trough the corporate structure with content type hub made the whole thing alive.
Now we are at the beginning again. Garbage in garbage out, clattered libraries with security and auditing nightmare, and most of all one intelligent and promising system was dumbed down to the Box. I think Microsoft had/has chance to build something really special, something that can restructure as the fast pace market requires, the transformers comes to mind. 😊
I would ask Kennedy for help here: We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard!
