Consider this fact—75% of us have no idea what metadata is or the harm it can do!

Donna Payne, Payne Consulting CEO and leading authority on metadata management will speak on the subject. Payne Consulting is the developer of the world-famous Metadata Assistant, which is used by more than 2.2 million users worldwide.

Metadata is information about the document. This information is stored within the document itself; for example who created it, who edited it, list of changes made, who else worked on it. There are 19 different metadata types in Word, 24 metadata types in Excel and 15 in Powerpoint.

Metadata has the potential to embarrass or negatively impact a company’s financial well-being. High profile incidents in the United States (The White House, Pentagon), the United Kingdom (Tony Blair) and in Australia (The Westpac Bank) show that no one is immune.
