In a previous post, “Digitalizing your Enterprise with Digital Workplace and Digital Business Solutions,” I discussed connecting business data with content and managing daily information in one view.

For a while now, M-Files has been back-end neutral, allowing you to manage your information in M-Files regardless of where it resides. Whether in M-Files itself, SharePoint, network folders, or other systems or repositories, you could find, access, and manage all your information through the M-Files user interface.

Now, we have taken the next step.

Solve Common SharePoint Challenges with M-Files

In February, we introduced two new integrations that help us embed M-Files in other systems, enabling you to leverage the power of M-Files while working in a familiar interface. This means you can now use a Microsoft Office 365 or Salesforce CRM view to find, access, and manage related content in other systems and repositories.

Breaking down silos in separate applications, systems, and repositories supports your end-to-end automation, improving customer experience and accelerating digital business transformation.

The Benefits of M-Files with SharePoint

Are you facing common problems with documents? Struggling to find relevant information from different systems and repositories? Managing user and access rights based on folders? Ensuring all critical documents are approved and trained to employees in compliance with regulations? Missing deadlines for tasks? Needing to find all data related to a certain project, stored in several different systems, folders, and repositories? Keeping an audit trail of documents and workflows?

If you’ve faced these challenges, have you ever wondered if there is a way to automate some or all of this?

Intelligent Information Management Within SharePoint

Do you spend your time in Office 365, creating content and collaborating? M-Files for SharePoint Online offers customers the ability to access documents and information stored in M-Files directly from the SharePoint Online UI.

Combining M-Files’ intelligent information management and Microsoft Office 365 to improve your digital business workflows is an effective way to achieve new benefits and decrease compliance risk. Utilizing artificial intelligence to automate manual, document-related tasks helps reduce manual work and avoid human errors.

Enhanced Collaboration & Streamlined Workflows

Microsoft Office 365 is an excellent tool for daily document work and collaboration, but there are some challenges. One of the strengths of M-Files is managed version control, which allows you to collaborate easily with your familiar Microsoft tools while keeping track of audit trails and improving compliance. Another strength is the ability to automate workflows to support business processes and let employees focus on value-adding tasks. Connecting structured business data with content in the same view ensures that your customer data and related documents are all available in the same view.
