Every industry manages information differently. Regulations, workflows, and risk profiles vary, and generic document management systems lose critical context. M-Files connects documents to the business context around them, so information reflects how your industry actually works.

Using metadata-driven architecture, documents are automatically classified and governed based on industry requirements. Built-in governance enforces compliance and retention policies, while configurable workflows support project-driven, compliance-intensive, and client-focused work.
