Collaboration solutions
Drive productivity with superior collaboration solutions
Collaborating with colleagues and clients can be complicated today. More people are working remotely, making it difficult to collaborate around documents in real time. While digital technology makes it easier to share files, the sheer volume of documents to be managed and tracked makes collaboration a challenge. Data silos continue to create problems as workers spend up to 30% of their time searching for the right document1. And security is a much bigger issue when files are sent and received with colleagues and clients beyond a company’s secure perimeter.
Superior collaboration solutions from M-Files can help. As an Intelligent Information Management solution, M-Files makes it easy to keep track of documents while sharing and collaborating. M-Files eliminates data silos and duplicate versions of files in attachments emailed back and forth. And with collaboration solutions that deliver an easy-to-use client portal for people outside the company, M-Files enables external stakeholders to seamlessly engage with your content and your brand.

To collaborate effectively with customers and clients, you need a collaboration software that is secure, easy to use, and a seamless extension of your brand.

FAQs
What’s the purpose of collaboration solutions?
Collaboration solutions help employees work together on documents more easily in a world where people are rarely in the same room. Collaboration technology makes it easier to work with others to create, edit, publish, and share documents with a variety of internal and external stakeholders. Collaboration solutions eliminate the headache of managing multiple versions of documents, and they help to ensure that documents remain secure even when access is granted to people outside a secure network perimeter.
What are the challenges when collaborating on digital documents?
Creating a digital document with multiple authors and editors can be a big challenge. As each contributor makes changes, keeping track of the latest versions and who has signed off on which file can be an enormous headache. The sheer volume of documents that are created by businesses makes finding the right information difficult, and workers today spend a great deal of time simply searching for or verifying that they’re working with the right files. Security is always an issue with digital documents, especially for files that contain sensitive data or confidential information.
