Collaboration tool
The benefits of a superior collaboration tool
Easy and efficient collaboration is critical to every level of business operation. From co-authoring documents and sharing data to communicating about projects and ideas, your workers need ways to collaborate effectively and securely with colleagues, clients, partners and vendors. The more productive their collaboration, the more they help to move the business forward.
Choosing the right collaboration tool is critical. Your technology must provide a space for collaboration with built-in security. Users should be able to find the right documents within seconds and share them easily – without having to worry about how to protect them. And policies for collaboration should be automatically enforced to ensure compliance with company guidelines and regulatory requirements.
M-Files offers an intelligent information management platform that delivers superior collaboration tools for the digital workplace. With M-Files’ collaboration software, your workers get all the capabilities they need to share information more efficiently while avoiding the security issues that often accompany collaboration efforts.

Essential criteria for your collaboration tools
When choosing a collaboration tool, there are three important criteria to keep in mind.
Automatic document permissions
When your workers are productively collaborating with colleagues and clients, they shouldn’t have to worry about document permissions. They just need the right tools and access to the right information at the right time. Your collaboration tool should automatically understand who has access to any given file based on the role of the user and on metadata related to each document.
Easy document management
Workers shouldn’t have to worry about whether they can find the information they need or whether the file they’re looking at is the most recent version. Your collaboration tool should enable them to find any file within seconds while eliminating any headaches related to managing multiple versions.
Traceable, enforceable policies
Employees can be very creative when they need to get work done but don’t have the right tools to do it. Your collaboration solutions should enforce policies about shadow IT and unsecured file-sharing services while providing audit trails to make sure information is used, stored, and secured according to policy.
M-Files makes collaboration simple and secure
M-Files offers a solution that delivers on all the essential criteria for collaboration tools – plus much more. As a leading intelligent information management platform, M-Files connects content throughout your organization to increase the productivity of your knowledge workers, deliver a seamless digital experience, reduce business risk, and strengthen collaboration.
A smarter way to manage content
Rather than migrating data and information to a central location, M-Files creates connections to documents wherever they currently reside to serve up the content you need, when and where you need it, no matter what it is or where it is saved.
Role-based permissions
Automated, dynamic access rights based on roles and metadata ensure that only authorized users can access or share documents.
Secure sharing
Your employees can easily share documents with colleagues, partners, customers, and other entities by simply sending a link rather than emailing attachments back and forth.
Simple policy enforcement
M-Files automates data security with metadata-driven permissions that allow fully automatic control of read, edit, delete, and change permissions for any document based on its type or attributes. M-Files provides a seamless audit trail of who makes edits to files and when, as well as the lifecycle of a document with tracking of logins, logouts, password changes, and user group changes.
