As a result of moving into a new role, I'm about to embark on a complete re-filing of 5+ years worth of work documents. Typically my digital filing system always ends up completely random, even though I always start out with very good intentions.

Has anyone got any good advice on best practice document hierarchies and naming conventions? Are there any useful tools that can help me speed up this re-filing process?

My documents are all a mix of Word/Excel/Powerpoint/Visio/PDFs and are typically either BAU/Run or Project related.

    Actually, at one point Goggle had a server to index your local network. Knew a few law firms looked at it help them.

    They still do, it's called a Google Search Appliance [google.com].

    I evaluated the original 'Google in a box' appliance a few years ago for an employer - although it worked well, it didn't support samba/smb file shares, and needed everything to be HTTP facing (they've since resolved that restriction). Microsoft's FAST search software ended up stealing a lot of the features shortly afterwards.

    This is my opinion, there are many others, but this one is mine.
