Collaborative development

Teragram has released TK240 for Collaborative Development V 2.0. The company explains the offering, based on its taxonomy management software and categorization engine, enables teams of specialists in an organization to collaboratively create, manage and implement taxonomies in real time, increasing the efficiency and accuracy of information retrieval and deployment across an enterprise. TK240 for Collaborative Development instantly analyzes the contents of a document and organizes the findings into flat or hierarchical taxonomies that facilitate and accelerate the retrieval of information. At the same time, the software enables more than one developer to modify the taxonomy and categorization rules for the same project, enabling users to work simultaneously while individually accessing the specific portion of the taxonomy that is most appropriate. Multiple information workers using TK240 to organize large corporate archives, for instance, can work simultaneously on specialized portions of the master taxonomy without conflicting with or overwriting the others’ work, thus allowing such large taxonomies to be developed far more quickly and effectively. Teragram says benefits to taxonomy developers using TK240 Version 2 include:

• automatic version control, allowing users to refer back to previous project changes;

• increased efficiency and reduced workload by enabling specialists to collaboratively share expertise on a single project and set workflow parameters;

• distinct taxonomy tree-structure and node-level permissions for each user or group, providing a high level of security and flexibility for any type of collaborative project; and

• a fast, intuitive graphical interface.
