Collaboration software
Protect your data with secure collaboration software
Collaboration is key to business productivity and performance. To get work done, workers must be able to easily share documents, ideas, data and communication with colleagues inside and outside the company. While this exchange of information is critical to making forward progress, it exposes the organization to risks such as breaches, theft and inadvertent leaks.
M-Files can help. By providing collaboration software that makes it easy to share documents and information securely in the digital workplace, M-Files increases productivity of knowledge workers while ensuring a seamless digital experience and reducing business risk.

The security challenges of collaboration
Collaboration today is more important yet riskier than ever. As workforces become increasingly mobile and more employees work from home, ensuring the security of documents becomes increasingly difficult. To protect data, employees and organizations, companies need collaboration solutions that can overcome several challenges to secure collaboration.
Human error
Employees want to get work done fast. That often means taking shortcuts on data security. From sharing passwords to using unsecure collaboration tools, these habits can open the door to cyber threats. Preventing human error requires collaboration software that can make it as easy for workers to access documents and tools they need to do their jobs.
Unsecured third-party applications
Even when a network perimeter is protected by the tightest security, collaboration tools that employees use may not be. That’s why business leaders must pay attention to security measures their cloud-based partners take to protect data.
Employee devices
It is a fact of business today: employees will inevitably download data to their own laptops, smartphones and tablets even though these technologies are unsecure. Consequently, collaboration software must allow employees to access documents and data from any device, without jeopardizing security.
Shadow IT
Employees often choose to collaborate with personal file-sharing services. To discourage this, a collaboration tool must surpass these services in speed, features and ease of use.
M-Files: intelligent information management
M-Files is a next-generation intelligent information management platform that makes it easy to find and share documents securely to enhance collaboration with colleagues and clients.
As a solution for managing enterprise content, M-Files offers a unique approach to organizing documents. Rather than requiring a data migration to a centralized repository, M-Files leaves every document where it exists and creates connections to it that yield a single view of content throughout the organization. AI-powered technology analyzes each file to provide context and to tag it with metadata, making it easy to find any document within seconds.
Fast search and retrieval
With M-Files, workers never need to know where a file is located, but only what they’re looking for. By entering a description into the M-Files search bar, employees can connect with documents they need in seconds.
No more data silos
M-Files provides a unified view of content across the organization, regardless of the system or repository it is stored or viewed in. That means documents can remain in network folders, SharePoint, CRM or ECM systems or any other business application or platform.
Workflow automation
M-Files makes it easy to track tasks and processes with workflows that automate daily work. Using metadata, M-Files guides each document through custom workflows to ensure tasks are performed accurately and on time, every time.
