Concept Searching Approved as a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 FCI ISV

April 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Concept Searching is pleased to announce approval as a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 File Classification Infrastructure ISV.  The File Classification Infrastructure (FCI) announced with Microsoft Windows Server R2 provides a standard mechanism for the automated generation and storage of document metadata.  

conceptClassifier can easily be configured as a plug-in for FCI to deliver automatic document classification using its unique and powerful Compound Term Processing technology that automatically generates conceptual metadata. One or more taxonomies can be rapidly developed and deployed to address a wide range of business challenges. Fully integrated with SharePoint 2007 and 2010, Microsoft search products, FAST ESP, and Microsoft Office, the technology maximizes the strengths of the Microsoft platform to uniquely solve enterprise content management and search challenges.  

The flexibility of the technology platform can be used to solve many challenges by enabling organizations to manage data more effectively and efficiently.  conceptClassifier delivers an advanced classification technology and taxonomy management that is robust and at the same time easily deployed and managed.

Uses include the ability to define a taxonomy to be used for the identification of secrecy or personal information, automatically classify the content and identify the files that contain the personal information from within the actual content of the document.  This flexibility allows organizations to define their own metadata that would flag a potential exposure, whether that is a social security number, credit card number, Protected Health Information, Personally Identifiable Information, or any combination of metadata.

Since conceptClassifier runs natively in the File Classification Infrastructure multiple  taxonomies can be created to improve business processes such as creating a taxonomy that would determine the business value of the content to facilitate the backup application so high value files would be backed up nightly and low business impact files may be backed up on a more infrequent basis.  

It can also be used to comply with retention policies based on the content within the files, ensuring that retention polices are applied to data based on the business value derived from the concepts within the document.
