How Backyard Discovery Eliminated Operational Friction and Accelerated Global Engineering Workflows

Watch this on-demand webinar to learn how Backyard Discovery, a global manufacturer of outdoor products, transformed its engineering change processes with M-Files, the Context-First document management system. By connecting drawings, bills of materials, testing documentation, and workflows into a unified system of record, Backyard Discovery reduced cycle times, strengthened auditability, and enabled distributed teams to move faster with confidence.

Duration: 40 minutes

What you’ll learn:

• Faster Engineering Change Cycles: Automated workflows accelerate document-heavy processes, eliminate approval bottlenecks, and reduce manual handoffs.
• Connected, Context-Rich Documents: By organizing information based on what it is, not where it is stored, M-Files connects documents to projects, products, and processes, creating a unified system of record for engineering work.
• Built-In Governance: Metadata-driven version control and traceability ensure full visibility into who changed what, when, and why, strengthening compliance across global operations.
• Scalable, Microsoft-Native Collaboration: M-Files runs natively within Microsoft 365, enabling engineering and operations teams to work in familiar tools while gaining enterprise-grade governance, automation, and control.
