DMS software

Find documents instantly with superior DMS software

Document management software, or DMS software, is a business-critical technology today. As the business world creates new data and documents at an unprecedented pace, organizations are struggling to manage and secure rapidly growing volumes of documents. Knowledge workers today spend a significant portion of their day searching for the right documents or reproducing data they can’t locate. A powerful DMS software solution can help workers find documents instantly and streamline the tasks of managing security, compliance, retention and other phases of the document lifecycle.

Choosing the right DMS software is critical. Organizations need solutions that won’t require a massive and costly data migration. The right technology must also automate document workflows and business processes, allowing workers to focus on doing work that matters rather than managing documents all day long. That’s why, when selecting DMS software, thousands of companies in more than 100 countries today turn to the document management system from M-Files.

The challenge of managing documents

The amount of information and documents that the average organization must manage is growing at an astounding rate. In fact, 90% of the data in the world today has been created in just the last two years alone1. Savvy organizations are seeking powerful cloud document management technology that can tame the complexity of organizing, securing, and providing access to such large volumes of material.

A superior DMS software solution must overcome several critical document management challenges.

Exponential growth

Every two days, the world creates as much information as was produced from the beginning of time until 20032. With so many documents to manage, it’s no wonder that workers find it difficult to quickly locate the information they need. Additional confusion caused by multiple versions and duplicates of files only adds more time and cost to the task of searching for and finding the right information.

Dark data

Of all the information in data repositories, more than half is considered “dark data” – documents and information that is unknown, uncategorized, and therefore useless to the organization3. Not only does dark data create unnecessary storage and retention costs, but it robs the organization of the insight that this data could provide.

Unsecured documents

Organizations face significant security risks from employees who work with documents containing sensitive material on their mobile or personal devices. Unregulated use of personal file-sharing apps poses added threats. When organizations lack visibility and control of sensitive documents, the risk of a breach is greatly increased.

A mobile workforce

As more employees work from home or remote locations, it becomes harder for organizations to keep documents secure while allowing workers to access the documents they need anytime, anywhere, on any device.
