CONTENT INVENTORY

Get a complete inventory of your business content, wherever it is.


Shinydocs crawls your content repositories and then uses rules to identify and classify your files, documents, records, and media to create a regularly updated master content inventory. It is invisible to your employees and works in the background while your team focuses on their day jobs.

  • Detailed insights. Our software uses metadata crawling, text extraction, and optical character recognition to give you more context about your content.
  • The complete picture. Inventory content stored in file shares, SharePoint, Microsoft 365, OpenText, email servers, and more.

DATA VISUALIZATION

Explore your content with context.


Results of your unstructured data inventory are displayed on an interactive dashboard that allows you to explore what content you have by file format, storage location, age, last update, and other parameters such as classification, tags, and results based on the scope of your crawl.

  • Customized data visualizations. Filter, dig in, and ask questions of your data to get key context quickly.
  • Detailed reports. Let us build a customized report with recommendations on how you can action your content to get the most value.

“Visibility is everything. If we didn’t have Shinydocs, there’s no way we could have disseminated what was in all those shares to make business decisions on data. It’s probably the most transformative thing that we’ve done digitally.”

  • Decisions are only partially data-driven using the 20% data that is structured and usable
