Enterprise document management
Connect your data with enterprise document management software
Information is vital to every level of business operation today, and companies that use information most effectively can expect a competitive edge. But in most organizations, essential data and documents are distributed across many disparate and disconnected business systems and data repositories. The result of this chaos is twofold: workers waste far too much time searching for the right information, and companies often fail to effectively use data to move the business forward.
A superior enterprise document management system like M-Files can help. By connecting data and information across every platform and repository to deliver a single view of documents, M-Files’ document management tools make it easy to see, find and utilize the right information at the right time to drive better business performance.

The risk of disconnected data
Businesses need fast access to real-time and historical information to make smarter and faster decisions. But managing data and documents today has become a business-critical challenge.
The sheer amount of data created daily can easily overwhelm an inferior enterprise document management system. Every two days the world creates as much information as was created from the dawn of civilization up until 2003 (Eric Schmidt). And the volume of data produced by businesses is expected to grow exponentially, reaching 163 ZB by 20251.
In addition to dealing with a crushing volume of data, most organizations lack a single system for managing, organizing, storing and securing it. In fact, more than half of organizations today use four or more content management systems (CMS), and yet the majority of their data still remains outside of those CMS tools2. To find the information they need, workers must often search for critical information that may exist within email or network file folders on various business applications, platforms and devices. And because files are hard to find, documents are often duplicated or re-produced at a significant cost to productivity. Without a single view of critical content, organizations face significant compliance and security risks while also lacking the ability to benefit from their data investments.
Clearly, to remain competitive, organizations need an enterprise document management system that eliminates data silos and delivers a single view of information across all systems and repositories. That’s where M-Files can help.
M-Files simplifies enterprise document management
M-Files is a cloud-based intelligent information management platform that easily solves the challenges of managing vast volumes of data and documents. Unlike traditional enterprise document management solutions, M-Files does not require documents to be migrated to a central repository – a costly and time-consuming project. Instead, M-Files breaks down information silos by unifying systems, data and content throughout the organization without altering existing systems or processes. Our AI-powered technology searches for and analyzes each document to place it in context, applying metadata tags that make it easy to find a document by simply searching for what it is or what it contains rather than where it is located. M-Files allows companies to serve up the right information to the right people at the very moment they need it, and to automate information-driven business processes that help to achieve superior productivity and business performance.
