SchemaLogic and Its MetaPoint

November 3, 2009

At the SharePoint conference, SchemaLogic announced its MetaPoint software. According to the company:

Multipoint integrates with Microsoft Office to tag and classify documents automatically when they are created and suggests to the user where documents should be stored on the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.  Multipoint helps employees find and share information more effectively while improving corporate information governance and regulatory compliance.

I have been notified about a number of products and systems that add functionality to SharePoint. I am having some fun trying to figure out which features and functions are the distinguishing ones. SchemaLogic offers its metadata repository to organizations eager to bring consistency to metadata across different enterprise software systems. The Metapoint service offers a similar functionality for SharePoint 10.

I am not able to endorse any particular SharePoint 10 metadata management system at this time. This is on our to do list. In the meantime, procurement teams will have the opportunity to install, test, and evaluate these systems. Exciting and time consuming. SharePoint 10 itself is a ton of fun and integrating a third party metadata system will be an outstanding learning experience in my opinion.

Notice to the Department of Commerce: no one paid me to write this article explaining its fun factor.
