WAND Taxonomy Customer Testimonials

“We searched the market - worldwide - to find a firm that could help us and WAND was hands down the
most comprehensive assembly of deep and wide taxonomies, requiring only two clicks to import into our
workflow and only a few days to incorporate into our product architecture, seeing immediate results.
Also, WAND is the easiest company I have been lucky enough to work with - so a winning combination.”

“The Taxonomies saved us a huge amount of time. We were able to deliver value immediately where
without WAND, it would have taken many months for us to deliver a less useful, incomplete solution.“

"Having the taxonomies on hand has really jump-started our document management process and
provided us with a back-end organization that would have taken many months to get going.”

"We were able to customize the Human Resources Taxonomy in less than a day to make it a perfect fit
for that department. We only needed to add 50 terms, which was less than 5% of the total."

"The WAND Taxonomy is proving to be very useful and will save us a lot of time in our deployment since
we don't have to create a taxonomy from scratch."

“People are experts at what they do, but (are) not experts in taxonomy building. Editing the pre-built
taxonomies provides an easy contextual reference.”

“The prebuilt taxonomies required about 10% customization and enabled the default search to be quickly
implemented.”

“Helps with faster adoption – Users see relevant search terms quickly.”

“Pointers suggested by WAND allowed me to socialize the benefits of the taxonomy and gain business
acceptance.”

“Your work for us has been excellent and the libraries were a godsend for us. I look forward to working
together in the future.”
