View company profile

M-Files is dedicated to transforming how businesses manage information and automate knowledge work. Many organizations struggle with information chaos, where critical documents and data are scattered across various systems, network folders, email inboxes, and cloud storage services. This makes it incredibly difficult and time-consuming for knowledge workers to find the information they need, when they need it. This inefficiency directly impacts productivity, slows down decision-making, and can lead to costly errors or compliance issues. Our customers face these challenges daily, which is why we developed the M-Files platform – a leading solution for knowledge work automation designed to help them find information faster, work smarter, and achieve more.

The M-Files platform empowers knowledge workers by providing a unified view of all relevant information, regardless of where it's stored. We achieve this through an innovative metadata-driven architecture, an embedded workflow engine, and advanced artificial intelligence. Instead of relying on traditional, rigid folder structures, M-Files organizes information based on 'what' it is and 'how' it relates to other information and business processes. This contextual approach means users can quickly locate documents and data through simple searches, dynamic views, and automated workflows, all within their familiar applications like Microsoft 365. Our customers can eliminate information silos, improve process efficiency by automating document-centric workflows from creation and collaboration to approval, and significantly reduce business risk by automating document access rules, securely sharing information externally, and maintaining comprehensive audit trails. We help businesses turn their information into a strategic asset, enabling them to deliver better customer experiences, improve the quality of their work, and gain a competitive edge in a digital, work-from-anywhere world.
