Providing the cross-functional skills required to manage today’s complex information environments.
Essential skills for today – and tomorrow
Integrative learning approach
Continuous learning experience
Best practice advice from experts
Courses
- a.k.a. user training
- Metadata, taxonomy and ontology design
- Taxonomy development
- Metadata and system design
When we train you to use a.k.a. software, we also teach you to build information governance solutions.
The a.k.a. training menu includes:
- Information governance solutions you can build with a.k.a.
- Getting familiar with the a.k.a. user interface to undertake typical tasks such as editing, searching, importing and exporting, generating interactive reports
- Using the a.k.a. Library to build metadata catalogues, controlled vocabularies and information asset registers
- Using the a.k.a. Architect to build taxonomies, ontologies, disposal schedules and other schemes
- Exchanging a.k.a. schemes with information systems such as Content Manager and SharePoint
- Customising the database and configuring new entities and schemes using the a.k.a. Designer
- Managing multilingual content
- Applying governance to your work using audit, workflow
a.k.a. training programs are filled with best practice approaches for metadata management, classification, appraisal and information asset management.

This one day workshop is designed to equip you with the knowledge to build classification schemes (metadata, taxonomies and ontologies) that are fit for current and future information management systems.
You’ll learn how to translate current classification schemes and disposal schedules into more flexible data models that support automation, integration and interoperability between eCM systems, including SharePoint.
Modules:
- Developing metadata
- Standardising metadata
- A spectrum of taxonomies
- Auto-classification
- Migration & interoperability

This one day workshop tackles the challenges associated with designing and developing best practice taxonomies that are fit for purpose.
You’ll explore different taxonomic structures, discuss how structure relates to function and examine the elements used to build taxonomies; design a taxonomy framework; create a facet map; and apply taxonomic standards and best practice techniques. The course also covers issues relating to the uptake and ongoing maintenance of taxonomies.
Modules:
- The role of taxonomies
- Developing taxonomies
- Standardising taxonomies
- The future of taxonomies
- Maintaining taxonomies
- Implementing taxonomies
This one day workshop addresses metadata, standards and data modelling techniques essential to good system design in eCM, SharePoint and business systems.
You’ll learn how to build better systems – how to bring metadata under control, standardise metadata for sharing and interoperability, enrich metadata for improved information governance, and design metadata models that support mapping and intelligent data capture.
Modules:
- Developing metadata
- Standardising metadata
- Metadata management
- Interoperability, mapping and migration
- System design and data modelling
