Documents and Records Management System for Enhanced Compliance
Enhance Records Management with Automation
Business records play an important role in documenting organizational activities. From financial records to contracts and correspondence, records are typically information that must be retained for a period to satisfy legal, financial, regulatory or organizational policy requirements.
Effective records management ensures that information is readily accessible, secure, and restricted to authorized users. However, as the volume of an organization’s records grows exponentially in today’s data-driven business environment, efficiently managing these records can become a significant challenge.
M-Files automates records management to ensure good governance, simplify compliance, increase efficiency and free administrators to pursue more value-adding tasks.

How Automation Can Simplify Records Management
By automating records management with a solution like M-Files, businesses can achieve several critical objectives.

M-Files: Intelligent Information Management
M-Files provides a solution that solves all the challenges of records management in businesses and government agencies. M-Files helps companies make smart connections across the business and automate critical processes while keeping information secured and controlled.
M-Files’ AI-powered system connects all documents and information on every business platform and repository in the organization, then analyzes them to place them in context. With M-Files, records don’t need to be migrated to a central repository. Instead, they can continue to live in whatever system they were created or originally stored in – network folders, SharePoint, ECM systems, CRM platforms, file-sharing services and other business platforms and applications.
To make it easy to visualize and find content across these disparate systems, M-Files organizes records by "what" they are rather than "where" they are stored. M-Files tags each document with metadata that identifies any relevant information about it. Metadata may include information about the type of document, the author and the client or project it relates to. It can also include dates, invoice numbers and other identifying information, as well as details of the workflow the document is part of.
In addition to making it easier to find and store records quickly, M-Files automates many aspects of working with documents to improve the efficiency, accuracy and security of records management.
