Information Integrating
Taxonomy offers information integrating capabilities
Integrating information is one of the critical tasks for successful enterprises. Users today are overwhelmed by data: competitive intelligence, industry news, product developments, performance reports, internal operations data, and more. Finding a way to store and quickly retrieve data can make the difference between a competitive organization and an also-ran. Taxonomies have recently emerged as vital tools for integrating information. A taxonomy is a knowledge management solution that organizes data by establishing a controlled vocabulary to be used in assigning metadata attributes and determining the relationships between terms. Because the resulting classification system is clearer and more organized, compiling and integrating information is simpler, and searching is faster and more precise. Building a customized taxonomy from scratch can be very expensive and time-consuming, but luckily there are other options—and that's where Taxonomy Warehouse comes in.

Integrating industry news, event announcements, links to associations, and helpful white papers and articles, Taxonomy Warehouse is your best source for access to more than 660 ready-to-use taxonomies that can be appropriated and customized for your use. That means that rather than building a taxonomical structure from the ground up, you can begin with a taxonomy that is pre-built and already successfully in use by other organizations. Taxonomies are available in 39 languages and in 73 different subject areas such as banking and finance, chemical technology, archaeology, religion and philosophy, and more. With a taxonomy from Taxonomy Warehouse, you can begin integrating information and taking advantage of an improved data structure sooner and with less cost.
How integrating information with a taxonomy can benefit your company
By integrating information and simplifying the organization of your data with a taxonomy, you can transform the way your company uses business intelligence. Because taxonomies establish a logical and organized structure for storing information, retrieving it is simpler, faster, and more precise. Users will spend less time looking for data, more time using it to make better decisions and will have greater confidence in the value of their search results. Consequently, expensive data assets will get used more frequently and will help increase return on your investment. By integrating content into their workflow more easily, employees will make more informed business decisions and will be able to share content across departments, promoting greater collaboration throughout the company. The ultimate result is a more agile company that knows how to use content for strategic advantage.
