Introduction to M-Files

Congratulations on your purchase of M-Files® Dynamic Content Management software!

M-Files® enterprise content management software helps you easily store, organize and access all kinds of documents and information. Our revolutionary approach organizes content based on what something is (and what it relates to) instead of where it's been stored. Eliminating the traditional folder-based method ensures that you have instant access to all of your content via search or dynamic views. It's simple, dynamic, and flexible. From managing a wide variety of content to ensuring regulatory compliance, M-Files has you covered.

Access your information anywhere: M-Files can be deployed on-premise, in the cloud, or a hybrid of both.

Thank you for choosing M-Files and welcome to a new chapter in productivity!
