Information Manager Enterprise User Edition Improves on SharePoint Usability
July 22, 2013
An article on MarketWatch titled MetaVis Makes It Easier to Organize Content in SharePoint 2013 refers to the announcement by MetaVis that its product Information Manager Enterprise User Edition supports SharePoint. Working to simplify SharePoint for users, this edition allows for bulk copy, upload, download and classify content features. The article states,
“Organizing information in SharePoint does not need to be hard,” said Peter Senescu, President and Co-founder of MetaVis Technologies. “MetaVis Information Manager Enterprise Edition provides users with more control to manage content directly from the SharePoint 2013 user interface minimizing the learning curve and increasing the use of metadata. For a SharePoint deployment to be successful, content needs to be properly tagged and easily searched. “
A free trial version is available, touting such features as Remap Content, which enables the user to move content easily into new fields, Security Trimmed, which limits access to locations or items as permitted by the user and Hide/Show Features, which works with the permission levels to only reveal features to users with permission. In spite of some concern that SharePoint is at the end of its usefulness, Metavis has continued to stick with it. Whether or not this is the right choice remains to be seen.
