Use Cases, Before & After

Metadata enables you to create an organised, well-structured wiki that is easy to use and even easier to manage. Gone are the days of content chaos and headaches from cleaning up tags or reorganising spaces.

Now you can:

• Maintain a structural space organisation and improve its usability;

• Enhance content discoverability, regardless of naming conventions;

• Implement user-friendly Confluence navigation;

• Build a directory based on content from multiple sources;

• Make sure only relevant content is shown to a particular user;

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the actual benefits of using Metadata for Confluence. This section provides a glimpse into some of our most popular use cases:

bitvoodoo's Success Story: Enable Quick and Easy Access to Internal Information for PostFinance.

bitvoodoo is a leading Atlassian Solution Partner, set out to deploy Confluence as an information management system for PostFinance AG, one of the largest Swiss financial institutions and the largest in Swiss payment traffic.

German Aerospace Center (DLR) Navigated Their Confluence Maze with Metadata

For years, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) relied on email and other traditional document management systems. Under the leadership of André Pliewischkies, Knowledge Manager at DLR, the company introduced Confluence to reduce information silos and bring more transparency to the internal network. Confluence was a signpost to relevant information that could be enriched with additional remarks and expert advice.

Physik Instrumente Used Metadata to Breathe New Life into Their Corporate Intranet

When getting started with Confluence, Physik Instrumente - a leading manufacturer of nanopositioning technology--simply flooded the company homepage with news regardless of the audience references, language, location or role. It soon became an information dumping ground. Due to the information overload, it was a challenge for teams to stay aligned and maintain a productive workday.

And that’s a wrap!
