M-Files Corporation, a provider of solutions that dramatically improve how enterprises manage documents and other information, announced the immediate availability of M-Files 2015.
The latest major product release of the M-Files enterprise information management (EIM) solution includes the ability to create graphical workflows to optimize business process efficiency. The new graphical workflow editor in M-Files 2015 enables the creation and display of workflow processes as graphical diagrams, providing the ability to better visualize and more easily manage complex workflows. In addition, for businesses with regulatory or quality mandates, diagrams can be exported to support compliance requirements.
M-Files 2015 also features improved replication capabilities that provide enhanced support for business continuity and hybrid cloud deployments. The replication capabilities in this major product release enable companies with either cloud or on-premises M-Files deployments to leverage free cloud storage (powered by Microsoft Azure) to store and manage select files to the cloud to ensure content is always secured, protected and available.
"The ability to ensure that business critical information is accessible during a catastrophic event, increasing productivity by improving process efficiency, and empowering the mobile workforce are critical keys to success for any business, and with M-Files 2015, we’ve made major strides in all these areas," said Mika Javanainen, senior director of product management at M-Files Corporation.
