Document management system
Access information instantly with a document management system
The world is awash in documents today. The amount of information created by businesses continues to increase exponentially. Given the vast amounts of data your organization must process and store on a daily basis, it’s no wonder that workers spend 30% of their day on average searching for the right information.
Lost productivity isn’t the only casualty of today’s information management challenges. It’s estimated that 54% of all data stored is considered to be "dark data" – that is, it’s valuable information you aren’t using or can’t access for business purposes.
A superior document management system like M-Files can help you take control of this information chaos. By delivering instant access to documents from anywhere and keeping information secure and compliant, M-Files increases productivity, strengthens collaboration, enables continuity, and reduces business risk.

The benefits of a document management system
There are several critical benefits when working with a superior document management system like M-Files.
Ensure compliance
Chances are your documents are subject to a fair amount of compliance requirements. Regulatory frameworks from GDPR to ISO 9001 and HIPAA govern how many documents are stored, protected, and accessed. And if your technology isn’t in compliance, your business isn’t either. Document management software helps to ensure you’re complying with appropriate regulations and makes it easy to demonstrate compliance.
Secure your documents
A document management system improves security by creating a single view of documents. In most companies, critical documents are stored in a variety of places – personal drives, local storage, enterprise cloud drives, network shares, and other dispersed locations – making it harder to see and protect them. By delivering a single view of all assets, a document management system makes it easier to keep valuable and sensitive data away from malicious attackers.
Find information fast
A document management system lets you find the right document instantly. That means you can spend less time looking for information and more time using it to drive revenue and get work done.
Collaborate anytime, anywhere
Collaborating using online documents can be frustrating, especially when multiple people need to review the same document. Maintaining version control can be confusing and time-consuming. A superior document management solution eliminates data silos, lets everyone access the information they need, and provides a single source of truth so that all parties know they’re working with the right version.
M-Files: a smarter way to work with content
M-Files is a next generation intelligent information management platform. Our technology improves business performance by letting your workers find and use information faster and more effectively. As an advanced, AI-powered solution that connects all content across every platform and location, M-Files lets you access current and accurate information – no matter where it is stored or in what format – anytime and anywhere.
As a document management system, M-Files offers a smarter way to manage your content from creation to disposal. Our technology files and retrieves documents based on what the document is about, rather than where it is stored. When saving a file, you’ll use metadata tags to describe the content – things like customer name, project number, contact person, due date, or any other relevant information. To retrieve the document, you need only search on one or more of these tags – you don’t need to remember or even know where the document was stored.
With M-Files’ document management tools, you can:
Let us take care of everything
We automatically initiate workflows, retain documents based on retention policies, and ensure that only those with the right permissions can access a file.
