Automate Document Management Workflow
Optimize Your Document Workflow
Documents play a crucial role in every aspect of business operations, from research and proposals to contracts and invoices. The way an organization handles document management workflow can either speed up processes and improve business performance or create obstacles that hinder productivity and competitiveness. Many organizations face issues with their document management workflow, including mishandling documents and problems related to security and compliance. An ineffective workflow can negatively impact efficiency, customer relationships, and overall business progress. M-Files can provide assistance in this area.
With its cloud-based document management software (DMS), M-Files allows you to automate and customize workflows, ensuring that documents are directed to the right person at the right time, maximizing efficiency.

Accelerate Your Time to Value
The document management workflow involves transferring information between employees at different stages of a business process. At each step, a document may need to be created, edited, reviewed, commented on, verified for accuracy, approved, or signed. With M-Files' cloud-based document management software (DMS), you can automate and customize workflows to ensure efficient document flow to the right person at the right time.
Mishandling
Human error often results in the inability to find documents, incorrect information being duplicated on multiple documents or documents that don’t follow the correct workflow.
Versioning Issues
When workers collaborate by emailing documents back and forth, the result is multiple copies of a document that are attached to long, cumbersome email threads. In these situations, it’s difficult to have certainty that the right person has the right version in the end.
Unsuccessful Searches
Knowledge workers may spend up to 30% of their day searching for documents they need to execute a specific workflow1.
Lack of Remote Access
As workforces become more mobile and as more employees work from home, lack of remote access to documents can slow down workflows and limit productivity.
Make Files Available Anywhere
Getting approvals and signatures in person on hard copies of documents is extraordinarily costly and time-consuming.
Security and Compliance Issues
With a growing number of employees using their own devices to execute workflows, documents and businesses are exposed to far more security issues and compliance problems.
