Marc Stephenson

Marc Stephenson is one of the co-founders and Director of Metataxis.

He has spent decades working on the design and implementation of information systems with an emphasis on the usability, architecture and practical sustainability of technology solutions. Marc has extensive experience, formed over many years, in creating and implementing data models, metadata schemas, and taxonomies, that are the essential foundation to IT system implementation and good information governance regimes.

Marc has been a SharePoint consultant and information architect for over 20 years, and a Microsoft 365 consultant since the service was first in use. He has been involved with over 50 different SharePoint implementations starting from SharePoint 2003, all the way through to the current Microsoft 365.

Marc has migrated, architected, designed, implemented and configured many information management systems, ranging from intranets, document management systems, record management systems and ECM portals.

He recognises the need to design solutions that deliver maximum benefit at minimal cost, by focussing on the business, users and crucially the information requirements, over technology and functionality.

Marc is an excellent facilitator and communicator of information management solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. He is an active contributor and speaker at many information management conferences and online events.

Marc’s technical background in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence allows him to understand and therefore exploit current AI tools and techniques for his clients. That deep understanding also enables him to cut-through the hype of these new AI initiatives, and think about what users really want and what will actually deliver value.
