Hi, We use a tool called searchLight (as written) from Cintra. I have to say I am getting more impressed by the taxonomy management tools as they develop. This tool makes information access so much easier and can read PDF and all other content types I have tested thus far. The best thing is it is very cost effective, and I mean very. This makes full text searching largely (not completely) un-needed because all content is indexed against controlled lists. When I looked at it I was one of the usual sceptics, we get it and then find configuration will cost a bomb, far from it, its worth a look. For information we have integrated it with Livelink CMS, Oracle CRM (V12) and Wisdom 6.4 EDRMS. The solution conquers my fear about information repositories existing all over, we only have one now and after a few dodgy configuration issues, it also auto classifies content and creates an available link in Livelink CMS. This, I believe, is the way forward, integrate with information repositories and then capture user afterwards. So far, so good. When we transfer over to wholly EDRMS storage, FOI will became a much easier issue to deal with, although to be honest its easy now, never has been the huge job people talked up.
