Common Issues We Address

Problems

Without a high-level information strategy, organizations often struggle with their highly specific taxonomies and controlled vocabularies.

In our work, we frequently encounter:

  • Ad hoc database schemas
  • Findability issues: customers can’t find products; employees can’t find information
  • Analytics are nearly impossible
  • Operational inefficiency
  • High administrative costs
  • Inability to keep pace in a rapidly changing digital landscape

Solutions

Factor will create an information strategy that allows your organization to align around one voice and a single vocabulary by:

  • Developing an information strategy that’s scalable and adaptable to change 
  • Prioritizing cost-saving and revenue-driving activities through a realistic roadmap
  • Optimizing content creation and publishing, focusing only on the relevant content that your consumers value
  • Streamlining data acquisition to enable actionable insights from analytics
  • Realizing the value of your organization’s data and information
