Let’s look at a real-world scenario
A large company with 5000+ employees has five locations worldwide.
The organization uses SharePoint for its Document Management needs. Their SharePoint has been set up with the various Department sites and document libraries have been created in each department – named by their location. For example, their Sales Department has document libraries within it with names Boston – USA, New York – USA, Mexico, Australia, and India.
Every location is using a different CRM solution. Assistant Sales Managers at each location generate sales reports from their system every week and upload them into their document library for the VP to view. Each Assistant Sales manager uses his discretion to name the document, tag it, and categorize it.
