We will evaluate you intranet search engine, content management process and policies, and develop the plan and solution to improve intranet search immediately, and in the long-term.
Prescient will develop a complete Intranet Search Plan with the corporate taxonomy and rules for applying meta tags and keywords. A taxonomy is a set of rules, or dictionary, for classifying or cataloguing information – whether on the intranet or the Internet.
Metatags, simply put, are the tags or data that describe the information on a content page.
