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

Implementing MetaShare is easy. In practice, implementing MetaShare means transitioning from a folder structure to a metadata structure and tagging documents with metadata instead of saving them in different folders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may sound difficult, but the process is quick and smooth. It usually takes 1 to 3 weeks from start to finish before you can begin working in MetaShare. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

1. Selection of Surfaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the implementation of MetaShare, the organization needs to decide which workspaces<\/a> to create. Factors that influence the choice of workspaces include, for example, access control requirements. <\/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\u2019s choice of metadata fields\/tags, which filters\/columns to display, etc. MetaShare is configured based on these choices. Workspaces are then created. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

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

It’s easy to move documents from a file server<\/a> or SharePoint sites to one or more document areas in MetaShare. First, you select the documents to be migrated, and then they are transferred in stages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

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

In connection with the implementation of MetaShare, we recommend user training to review the features and the chosen structure. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Common Requirements 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

Smooth document migration to SharePoint requires the use of a migration tool. A key aspect is ensuring that all document properties\u2014such as author, modification date, and creation date\u2014are preserved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our expertise and migration tools can help you do this seamlessly. 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 different ways. The integration is carried out using standard methods and APIs from Microsoft to enable various 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. Process Automation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Intranet Integration<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
