Intelligent Information Management


M-Files is an intelligent information management system that will enable you to benefit fully from the quality, integrity and accuracy of your critical data – whether that content is located in M-Files itself or in another business system. M-Files puts a wide range of powerful tools for finding, editing, sharing and organizing your company’s content and information at your disposal – as well as the new benefits Artificial Intelligence can bring to your office.


Companies today face fierce competition in all that they do, of course. Under such testing conditions, it is crucial that organizations of all kinds optimize and increase the efficiency and productivity of their business processes continuously if they are to remain a step ahead of their competitors.


Deploying an intelligent information management system allows organizations to benefit from the quality, integrity and accuracy of their critical information. Information management can also be used as a means of controlling risk, guaranteeing compliance, enabling consistent workflows and operating procedures, and harmonizing processes.


Unlike traditional Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems, M-Files lets organizations manage their content and information irrespective of whether that information is located within M-Files itself or other business systems or repositories. Users of the system benefit from the powerful tools it offers for finding, editing, sharing and organizing content and information, as well as the advantages artificial intelligence can offer in automating some of the key office processes.
