MFiles

M-Files is a software company that provides an intelligent information management platform. Their core product, also called M-Files, is designed to help organizations manage and find unstructured data. Unlike traditional network folders or document management systems, M-Files uses a metadata-driven approach. This means documents are organized by what they are (e.g., invoice, contract, project report) and not solely by their location within a folder structure.

The platform allows users to access and manage information from various repositories, including network drives, cloud storage, and other business systems, without needing to migrate the data. This unified view aims to reduce information silos and improve compliance. Key features include automated workflows, version control, digital signatures, and robust search capabilities powered by AI and machine learning. M-Files is used across a range of industries, including finance, manufacturing, and professional services, to enhance productivity and ensure regulatory adherence. The company was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Tampere, Finland.
