Why tag? • Tagging content using a taxonomy is a cost, not a benefit. • There is no benefit without exposing the tagged content to users in some way that cuts costs or improves revenues. • Putting taxonomy into operation requires UI changes and/or backend system changes, as well as data changes. • You need to determine those changes, and their costs, as part of the ROI.
Potential benefits from tagging content Reduce information requests Reduce cost per UU (unique user) Expand to new audiences Improve customer satisfaction Improve performance & accountability Increase number of successful website searches Increase number of links (internal cross-cutting & external) Reduce time to build websites Increase metadata consistency & quality Decrease time to create & publish marketing information Improve e-commerce Decrease product development lifecycle
