Find documents faster, reduce paper and keep information secure
Turn your physical archive into a secure, searchable digital document repository. Give employees faster access to information while maintaining control over document access, retention and long-term storage.
Challenges of managing a physical document archive
Over time, organizations accumulate large volumes of contracts, invoices, reports and other business records. When this information exists only on paper, finding and managing documents becomes slow, inefficient and increasingly difficult to control.
Large volumes of binders, boxes and paper records take up valuable office or storage space and become increasingly difficult to organize.
Locating a single document in a physical archive can take a long time. Employees spend time searching instead of using the information they need to make decisions and complete their work.
Paper documents are vulnerable to loss, physical deterioration and unexpected events such as fire or flooding. Important business information can disappear without a reliable digital copy.
Physical documents are available only where they are stored. Employees working from another office, remotely or in the field cannot easily access the information they need.
Digital document archiving with M-Files
Digitize existing documentation and create a centralized, secure and searchable digital archive. Built on M-Files, the solution helps you organize and manage documents throughout their lifecycle - from capture and classification to retention and eventual disposal.
Scan existing paper documents and convert them into digital files. Using OCR, document content becomes searchable, helping users find the information they need without manually browsing through folders or archive boxes.
Classify documents using relevant business information such as document type, date, customer, department, project or other attributes. Instead of relying only on folder structures, users can filter and find documents based on what they are and what they relate to.
Keep documents in a controlled system with clearly defined access permissions. Employees see only the information they are authorized to access, helping protect confidential and business-critical documents.
Define retention periods and archiving rules based on regulatory requirements. Documents can follow predefined lifecycle rules, making it easier to manage what needs to be retained and for how long.
Give authorized employees access to the right documents in just a few clicks. Information can be securely accessed and shared across teams, offices and business locations without moving paper files or creating unnecessary copies.

Find documents using search, metadata and filters instead of manually going through folders and archive boxes.
Employees get the information they need faster, wherever they are authorized to access it.
Digital storage reduces the risk associated with damaged, misplaced or lost physical documents.
