Metadata-based content routing and storage in SharePoint Server 2010

For many organizations, content not being saved and stored to the right place is a serious problem. SharePoint Server 2010 now offers new features to help administrators make sure content items (documents, pictures, workbooks, and so on) that are submitted, saved, or migrated to their SharePoint environment can be routed to and stored based on an item's metadata. By tagging content with metadata and by using Content Organizer settings and rules, you can effectively identify, route, and store almost any content item in your SharePoint environment. Combined with managed metadata and metadata-based navigation and filtering, metadata-based routing and storage provides an incredibly powerful way to design and implement a robust content architecture for your organization that can scale to the tens of millions of documents.
