Document management tools
Access information instantly with better document management tools
Information and documents are critical to business success today. From proposals and agreements to correspondence and reports, documents drive nearly every critical business process. Having access to the right document at the right time is essential to moving the business forward.
Yet far too often, workers can’t easily access the documents they need. Sometimes they can’t remember where a document was stored or how it was filed. On other occasions, they’re unsure whether the document they’re looking at is the latest version and whether they can trust the information in it.
Superior document management tools like M-Files can help. By making it easy to find, access, and share the right documents with anyone, M-Files’ document management software helps reduce business risk, recoup wasted hours, accelerate business timelines and use information to drive business performance.

The challenges of document management
Effective document management tools must solve several enormous challenges when it comes to handling data.
The volume of documents
The world is producing data at an unfathomable rate. In fact, 90% of the data in the world today was created in the last two years alone1. And every two days, we create as much information as we did from the beginning of time until 20032. When storing so much data, it’s no wonder workers have trouble finding exactly what they need.
Disparate systems
Documents come in a huge variety of formats – as much as 90% of it is unstructured3, making it harder to access and analyze. What’s more, documents are often spread over multiple technologies, platforms and content management systems, making them more difficult to secure and manage.
How M-Files helps you work smarter
As an intelligent information management solution, M-Files provides document management tools that make it easy to quickly find the right document while automating information-driven business processes and ensuring compliance.
Unlike traditional document management systems, M-Files doesn’t require a costly and complex migration of documents to a single repository. Instead, M-Files connects systems, data and content throughout the organization without disturbing existing systems and processes. By breaking down information silos between various platforms and technologies, M-Files offers a single view of all documents that makes it easier to find, manage and secure essential information.
The biggest difference between M-Files and other document management tools is the way information is stored. M-Files focuses on what a document is rather than where it is located. When saving a file with M-Files, users can tag the file with metadata that describes the content and makes it simple to find later. Metadata tags can be anything from the name of a client, project or user to order numbers, authorization, document type or date of creation.
