Do it yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Implementing MetaShare is easy. In practice, implementing MetaShare means going from a folder structure to a metadata structure and that documents are tagged with metadata instead of being saved in different folders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may sound difficult, but it’s quick and easy. The time from project start to when you can start working in MetaShare is usually 1 to 3 weeks.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>

\n\n

1. Choice of workspaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before implementing MetaShare, the organization needs to decide which workspaces<\/a> to create. Factors that govern the choice of workspaces are, for example, requirements for access control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2. Choice of structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each workspace then needs a structure. This is based on the organization’s choice of metadata fields \/ tags, which filters the documents should be marked with, which columns should be displayed, etc. MetaShare is configured based on these choices. Then the creation of workspaces takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

3. Moving documents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to move documents from a file server<\/a> or from SharePoint sites to one or more document workspaces in MetaShare. First you mark which documents are to be migrated, then a gradual transfer takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

4. Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A MetaShare user training is recommended to carry out, prior to rolling out MetaShare within your organization. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>

Common needs when implementing MetaShare<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Migration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Migrating documents to SharePoint improves work and content quality, but requires careful planning, preparation and follow-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A smooth document migration to SharePoint requires the use of a migration tool. An essential aspect is to ensure that all document properties such as creator, modification date and creation date are preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our expertise and migration tools can help you do this smoothly. Contact us<\/a> to learn more about how we can support your document migration to SharePoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integrations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

MetaShare can be integrated in several ways. The integration is performed through standard methods and APIs from Microsoft to accomplish different types of integrations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Metadata integration<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. CRM system or business system<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Automation of processes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Intranet integration<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
