Often referred to as the Swiss Army Knife of Portals, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is the hottest and most powerful enterprise technology in the world today. However, harnessing this power and making it an effective part of day-to-day business operations can be a daunting task. It requires a careful balance of planning, governance, architecture, design and development to drive SharePoint throughout your business culture with increasing value. This presentation will focus on taxonomies, the role they play in find-ability, and provide you with some crucial keys to SharePoint implementation success!
