Folder Structures and Information Classification

We continually see our clients grappling with the problems of information access and in unmanaged or poorly structured information repositories. Common problems include:

  • Uncontrolled duplication - copies of copies of copies
  • Identifying the latest or best version of copied documents
  • Multiple places to store the same document, and lack of guidelines to help
  • Sharing data with other groups/users
  • Security, access and permissions.

Whether content is managed in a dedicated document management system or on shared network folders, finding it depends on how it is classified, structured or tagged. We understand how to organise and manage common document repositories and build and apply folder and security structures, classification schemes and other taxonomies for E&P that:

  • Support and enhance individuals' and team's productivity
  • Support the way the company does business today
  • Help, rather than impede, business activity and allow ready information flow across departments and business units.
