M-Files: The stand-out choice for effective document management

M-Files enhances productivity, collaboration, and information management while reducing business risk. Its user-friendly interface and customisation options make M-Files a stand-out choice for effective document management. Unlike its competitors that rely upon organising documents in traditional folder hierarchies, M-Files leverages metadata-driven navigation. Users add metadata to documents, enabling rapid document retrieval through free-text searching and dynamic views.


Metadata-based filing in M-Files eliminates the need for duplicating files across multiple repositories. What’s more, M-Files simplifies document access control. Permissions can be enforced based on metadata values, making it easy to implement policies such as restricting access to sensitive employee HR documentation.

The correct version.
Every time

M-Files uses metadata to manage documents, which means that it does not rely on the file name or location to identify the correct version of a document. With M-Files you can be confident knowing you are accessing the latest version, every time.

No more duplicates

By doing away with folder locations, M-Files eliminates the temptation to save the same file multiple times in different locations. M-Files automatically saves a new version of a document each time a document is checked in after editing, without creating another copy.

FAQ'S

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does implementing an M-Files system involve?

    We will work with your organisation to understand its needs and objectives for effective document management. A detailed planning process is key to successful M-Files implementation, and our experts will work with you every step of the way. We arrange installation of the M-Files software into your IT environment, and following construction of the M-Files ‘’vault’, we comprehensively train your staff in M-Files use. We will assist you to plan migration of existing content, and once ‘live’ we are always available to support your M-Files in the long term.

  • Does filing documents in M-Files using metadata take more time?

    While adding metadata when filing documents into M-Files initially requires some effort, the long-term benefits in terms of time saved, improved organisation, and streamlined processes make that time a worthwhile investment. When documents are ‘tagged’ with relevant metadata, it becomes easier to locate them later. Instead of manually browsing through folders, you can quickly search for specific files based on their attributes (e.g., author, date, project, keywords). This streamlined retrieval process ultimately saves time compared to traditional folder-based systems.

  • Is an M-Files document management system expensive?

    When properly configured and users trained effectively, M-Files is often a valuable investment due to the productivity savings it is capable of delivering. Implementation costs of M-Files vary considerably according to the scope of a project. Contact us and we will be happy to provide a cost estimate and an overview of how M-Files can deliver cost savings for your organisation.

  • How does version control work in M-Files?

    M-Files maintains a complete history of all versions of a document. Users can view the document history to see who made changes, when they were made, and what those changes were. This audit trail helps with accountability and understanding how a document has evolved over time. M-Files can also send email notifications to keep users informed about document changes or updates.
