Findability in Microsoft Technologies:
What You Need To Know.
What does Findability mean and what is its role in your organization? Findability refers to the quality and ease of content being locatable. At the item level, you can evaluate to what degree a particular object is easy to discover or locate. At the system level, you can analyze how well a physical or digital environment supports navigation and retrieval. We can help you understand how Microsoft does this as well as expose some of the myths around Google as described by analysts and discovered by peer companies. Microsoft technologies provide proven and comprehensive solutions to ensure you have a solid findability architecture in place.
