Empowering Human and Health Services Agencies to Deliver Better Outcomes

In the age of information overload, effectively managing and organizing unstructured data is a significant challenge for enterprises using content management platforms like Microsoft SharePoint. To enhance the organization and retrieval of content in SharePoint, businesses need to leverage natural language processing (NLP) and semantic techniques to analyze documents, automatically determine content types and apply relevant metadata tags.

During this session, we will explore the fundamental principles of semantic technology and its integration with Microsoft SharePoint. Join us to learn how to:

• Enhance document discoverability through precise tagging
• Streamline workflows by automating document classification
• Improve compliance and governance through better content management practices

Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your document management strategy, deepen your understanding of semantic technologies and explore practical applications within your SharePoint environments.

Using Semantic Technologies to Better Leverage SharePoint Documents

The ability to integrate data is vital for organizations that rely on Salesforce to power their business. But accessing that data within Salesforce can be a challenge without the right data connectivity.

Join experts from Salesforce, Progress and Salesforce Ben as they discuss how to:
• Leverage Salesforce Connect to elevate your business    
• Work within industry standards to maintain security and support data privacy
• Provide Salesforce users the ability to utilize external data without moving it

How to (Properly) Access External Data Within Salesforce

Government agencies across the world are required to share information with others. This includes other agencies, their constituents and even their own departments. But what happens when these groups use different terminologies to describe the same thing? It’s like two people talking in two different languages. Now multiply that by hundreds of potentially different data “languages” and hundreds of data repositories—and the problem gets exponentially more complicated. 

This is a core contributor to the classic data silo problem that has plagued public and private entities since the dawn of the information age. Establishing relationships between these various data vocabularies is a function of the information science field known as semantics. Applying a semantic approach to organizational data can quickly knock down these data silos—internally and externally—and streamline your path to mission success. 

Join Stephen Reed to learn how agencies are modernising their architecture by adopting a semantic approach to deliver data agility, flexibility and scalability for their mission needs. During the webinar, you will:

• Explore common causes of data silos as well as signs you might have them within your organisation
• Examine how data silos create a barrier to information sharing and visibility
• Discover how taking a semantic approach to your data with Progress Semaphore can help remediate these issues
• Review several public sector use cases where semantics have solved the data-silo challenge
• See how Progress Semaphore bridges the data language gap in a live demonstration
