M-Files is a powerful yet easy to use document management software application that solves the problems of managing, finding, and tracking documents and information in companies and organizations of all sizes.

M-Files helps businesses succeed in today's fast-paced information-intensive environment by improving efficiency and workflow, maximizing information reuse, eliminating redundancy and avoiding conflicts and data loss.

Document management software and solutions have traditionally been dominated by expensive, complicated products that require major changes in business processes and extensive IT services and support. M-Files changes this by making document management easy and affordable without trading off important features such as fast search, secure user access permissions, check-in / check-out, version management, workflow and notifications, fast offline and remote use, support for scanned paper documents and email, a web interface and a robust interface for connecting to external databases such as an enterprise CRM or ERP system.

M-Files Doesn't Require Users to Change the Way They WorkOne of the challenges of most document management systems is that they require users to change the way they work, creating the need for extensive training and constant enforcement. M-Files is the only product on the market that provides the necessary features within a seamlessly integrated Windows Explorer interface that supports any Windows application.

How is M-Files different?
Windows integration
M-Files is deeply integrated with Windows and is the only document management solution that has a Windows Explorer user interface that is instantly familiar to anyone who uses Windows.

Application integration
M-Files' integrates seamlessly with all Windows applications by virtue of its deeply integrated architecture. This means any application, including Office apps, CAD, accounting and inventory solutions, etc., transparently access M-Files data vaults with standard File commands such as Open, Save, Save as, etc.

Reliability and Performance
M-Files is the only system to offer a "virtual-local" drive that bridges the gap between centralized data storage and local compute resources. With M-Files users work with all the performance and reliability provided by their local computer and hard drive, while M-Files' unique caching mechanism transparently synchronizes with the central data vault. Unlike other systems that use mapped network drives to store data, M-Files always delivers fast "local" performance and reliability, even when the network or server is slow or unavailable due to a crash, periods of high loads or network traffic, or when traveling or working from home. As soon as the connection is re-established, M-Files automatically synchronizes with the server.

In addition to helping businesses better organize and manage their general documents and processes, M-Files has proven very effective at meeting specific needs associated with records and compliance with regulations and standards such as ISO 9000/9001 in manufacturing, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and related privacy requirements in the medical field, standards such as FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11 affecting pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers and biotech companies, and Sarbanes-Oxley in the accounting and financial services space.
