Denver, CO, USA — WAND, Inc. announced, in conjunction with Microsoft, the availability of WAND’s General Business Taxonomy as a free download for use in SharePoint 2010’s term store. The General Business Taxonomy includes 535 categories covering five major business functional areas and once downloaded and imported, users can immediately begin tagging documents stored in SharePoint 2010.

Microsoft and WAND have partnered to make this starter set of pre-defined business terms available as a free download for use in SharePoint 2010 so that companies can get value from the managed metadata feature right away.
