Leading intelligent information management solution now available on the NZ government Marketplace for simplified purchase and competitive cost

AUCKLAND(NZ) – October 29th, 2020 – M-Files Corporation, the intelligent information management company, today jointly announced with Auckland based Premier Reseller DocSmart Solutions Ltd (DocSmart) that M-Files was selected for the government Marketplace in New Zealand. M-Files is now available in the “Content Services Software” and “Managed Content Services” categories of the catalogues for government agencies – the first products and services in these categories.

The Pae Hokohoko|Marketplace (https://marketplace.govt.nz) was established by the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) and the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MBIE) to link business with New Zealand government agencies, making the procurement process easier for all. It facilitates the government’s procurement process by connecting companies that offer services and sell products with government agencies that wish to buy them.

The Marketplace offers many benefits to government agencies. They can browse relevant catalogues when they want to buy specific products or services, spending less time on procurement and enjoying a simplified purchasing process and reduced costs. It is easy to compare services offered, and ICT services and products have a security rating where appropriate.

“The government Marketplace approval further validates that M-Files is producing substantive value for existing public sector clients. This will make it much easier for any other government agencies in New Zealand to benefit from M-Files’ unique AI-based intelligent information management capabilities,” said Scott Erickson, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Channel Sales at M-Files. “New Zealand is a thriving market for us, and we’re really proud to have DocSmart as a business partner – they are delivering transformative innovation for customers there.” Just recently, DocSmart received the 2020 APAC M-Files Partner of the Year Award for its outstanding achievements and excellent support of M-Files customers in the region.

“We have already deployed M-Files to more than a hundred & forty organisations throughout the region, including many government agencies such as Clutha District Council and Real Estate Agents Authority,” said Treve Clayton, Director of DocSmart Solutions Ltd in Auckland. “M-Files has proven many times that it can help government agencies to streamline document and process management, making them more efficient and agile.”
