Digital Document Management
Simplify Digital Document Management with M-Files
As organizations move from paper documents to digital files, conventional wisdom would suggest that digital document management should be far easier, less costly and more secure than traditional paper-based information management. Yet, in most organizations, paperless document management is anything but easy.
As organizations produce more and more data, finding the right document can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. Employees may spend hours each day searching for information or re-creating documents that have been lost, creating considerable cost in time and money. As employees email attachments back and forth, versions of documents multiply quickly and create chaos. And when employees can’t easily access and share documents, they’ll often resort to using risky and unsecured technologies to collaborate on the files they need to get worked done.
A superior document management system like M-Files can help to minimize the complexity of digital document management. Powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, M-Files helps companies and individuals improve performance by finding and using information more effectively.


The Challenge of Digital Document Management
Any digital document management solution must overcome a number of obstacles to the effective and secure use of information.
M-Files: A Smarter Way to Work
M-Files is a next-generation intelligent information management platform that offers solutions for all the challenges of digital document management. In addition to a set of powerful enterprise content management tools, M-Files offers a fundamentally different approach to document management that radically transforms how companies organize information.
Rather than organizing documents around locations – in other words, where documents are stored – M-Files focuses on tagging documents with metadata that makes them easier to identify, find and incorporate in workflows. Metadata can be anything from the name of a customer or project, the person who created the file, the format of the information in the document, who needs to see the document and in what order, as well as invoice numbers, project numbers, due dates and any other relevant information.
By using metadata, M-Files makes it possible for employees to simply type a few words about what they’re looking for into a search bar and get connected to a document in seconds. Workers no longer need to remember in which system a document was stored, how it was named, or in which directory it’s located. Documents can even remain in their original location in whatever archive, system, application, or platform they were created. M-Files uses AI-powered technology to create connections to documents wherever they exist, delivering a single, unified view of information throughout the organization.
M-Files’ document management solution makes it easy to find, use, and share documents. Workflows help automate processes that guide files throughout the document lifecycle. Encryption and access rights ensure the security of documents, while easy collaboration tools mean that employees no longer need to resort to shadow IT. And because workers can access documents on any device, from any location, at any time, M-Files ensures that remote workers have all the information they need to do their jobs.
