M-Files Content Management - Cloned

Find the right document quickly, securely, and seamlessly with M-Files content management.

Many enterprises struggle with the burden of managing their data effectively, especially when they're a distributed organization with a variety of documents that need constant attention and upkeep.  Workers may find themselves asking "Is this document on the main server or on OneDrive?",  "Is this the most up to date version?", or even "I can find this document, but where is the one I actually need?"  M-Files aims to eliminate these burdens of inefficiency with a unique, centralized solution that organizes content based on what it is, not where it is.

By organizing information by content and context, M-Files offers fast, seamless retrieval of data for workers across your enterprise.  M-Files calls this the "intelligent metadata layer", and it automatically deploys for every document - identifying all key attributes of a document, its content, who it's for, and more.  Now, when retrieving a document you can easily find other related documents, or even search for everything pertaining to a project.

PaperFree is a proud M-Files partner and offers the full suite of M-Files information management solutions to improve and simplify how businesses manage documents and other information in order to become more productive, more efficient and stay compliant. M-Files leverages a metadata-approach to eliminate information silos and provide quick and easy access to the right content from any core business system and device.

What is metadata?

The metadata approach organizes information by what it is versus where it’s stored, so organizations can simplify the ability to search, retrieve, process and archive documents, which in turn improves productivity, enhances employee collaboration and speeds up the decision making process.

When compared to traditional folder-based approaches, metadata-driven search provides a vastly superior alternative to traditional folders by presenting content in “dynamic views” that are generated from metadata based on the context or need. In this way, a unique document can be found in different “locations” with no duplication of data.

Why M-Files…

M-Files helps businesses succeed in today’s fast-paced and information-intensive environment by improving efficiency and maximizing the reusability of information. Because of M-Files’ unique metadata-driven architecture, you can find the right document instantly with a simple keyword search -- a much faster and more effective means for locating information than navigating through complex and confusing network folders.

In addition, check-out and check-in features eliminate the problems of data loss and “version creep” that can result when simultaneous changes to documents are made by multiple users.

With cloud, on-premises, and hybrid options, M-Files is easy to deploy and implement. In a short period of time, you can begin reaping the benefits of effective information and process management, and avoid the chaos and confusion of the network folder approach.

From advanced reporting features and mobile document access, to the ability to seamlessly integrate with existing CRM and ERP systems, M-Files provides a flexible platform that supports a wide-range of business needs and requirements.
