Your organization has invested in Microsoft 365. You have the powerful collaboration tools of Teams, the ubiquitous communication of Outlook, and the vast storage of SharePoint. But with that power comes a common, frustrating side effect: information chaos.

Files are scattered across countless Teams channels and SharePoint sites. Finding the right version of a crucial document feels like a treasure hunt. And ensuring consistent security and compliance across this sprawling digital landscape is a growing challenge.

What if you could snap an "intelligence layer" on top of the Microsoft 365 environment you already own, one that organizes your content by what it is - not where it's stored?

That's exactly what is now possible thanks to a groundbreaking new partnership between M-Files and Microsoft. This isn't just another integration; it's the strategic vector that makes M-Files an essential consideration for any organization running on Microsoft 365.

M-Files: The "What," Not the "Where"

Think of M-Files as the central brain for your content. It connects to all your information - whether in SharePoint, network drives, or other repositories - and understands its context. A document is no longer just a file name; it's a "Contract" related to "Project X" for "Client Y," with a status of "Awaiting Signature."

And now, M-Files leverages SharePoint Embedded, making your own Microsoft 365 environment the native repository for all your M-Files content. The M-Files intelligence layer works seamlessly with your Microsoft environment, but your content never has to leave your secure compliance boundary.

This solves critical business challenges:

  • It Eliminates Search and Chaos: Instantly find anything you need based on what it is, regardless of where you or a colleague happened to save it. Work directly in Teams or Outlook while accessing the one true version of a document.

  • It Automates Your Business: Supercharge your Microsoft tools with intelligent workflows. Automatically route contracts for approval, manage quality control processes, and ensure SOPs are followed, all triggered by changes in the document's context.

  • It Fortifies Your Security: Go beyond standard permissions. With M-Files, access controls are dynamic. Information is automatically visible only to those who have a right to see it based on its classification, ensuring your sensitive data is protected.
