One of the companies I’ve been following for the past few months is MetaVis. They have a selection of tools that can make a SharePoint Information Architect’s life exponentially easier. Don’t take my word for it. Bob Mixon, the Information Architect Guru of SharePoint, was evaluating one of the MetaVis tools when I was talking with the team at SPTechCon. Check out Bob’s reaction at the end of the video… totally unscripted.

One of the desktop tools available, the MetaVis Classifier, allows an information architect to migrate 1000 of documents to SharePoint and within Sharepoint, while attaching metadata to them… in a drap and drop interface! If you’ve ever tried to replicate content types within SharePoint, listen closely and see if you get as excited about the solution as I am.

The speaker in the first part of the video is Peter Senescu, a member of the MetaVis executive team.
