Smart Migration Improves Efficiencies by Enabling Customers to Intelligently Find and Move Documents from External Repositories

AUSTIN, TX – January 5, 2022 – M-Files Corporation, the intelligent information management company, today announced the launch of M-Files Smart Migration, an intelligence service which combines M-Files’ leading information management expertise with metadata-driven automation to help customers migrate information into the M-Files platform more intelligently and cost-effectively.

Moving to the cloud continues to be a top priority, but content migration can often be a challenging and costly task for businesses. With Smart Migration, M-Files customers can easily and systematically migrate documents from external repositories into M-Files and automatically classify and add metadata to the migrated content. The new tool allows customers to focus on the content that matters most and glean insights from the migrated data immediately, enabling companies to improve efficiencies and drive their business forward.

M-Files Smart Migration can be used with other M-Files intelligence services, enabling customers to seamlessly:

  • Migrate unmanaged and promoted content into the M-Files vault
  • Classify unmanaged documents during the migration with M-Files Smart Classifier
  • Extract critical information from documents and automatically add metadata to the migrated content with M-Files Smart Metadata
  • Create reports and detailed overviews of the content that was analyzed and migrated in an easy-to-use format

“Companies are accelerating their move to the cloud to modernize how they do business and adapt to new hybrid work environments,” said Mike Asebrook, vice president, product marketing, M-Files. “However, content migration can be a daunting and expensive task. The goal of our new Smart Migration service is to make the process as fast, cost-effective, and intuitive as possible by leveraging our leading metadata-driven services to intelligently migrate information from legacy systems and external repositories into the M-Files platform. By automatically adding intelligence to documents during the migration process, our customers can trigger workflows and manage data governance effectively, while empowering collaboration and accelerating their digital transformation journeys.”

M-Files’ mission is to profoundly improve how companies do business in the digital, work-from-anywhere world. The M-Files metadata-driven document management platform connects people with the content that they need, when they need it, regardless of where it is stored. M-Files increases the productivity of knowledge workers, ensures a seamless digital experience, strengthens collaboration, enables business continuity, and reduces business risk.

M-Files innovations have earned recognition from the analyst community, with M-Files recently being named a Visionary in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Content Services Platforms and positioned furthest for Completeness of Vision. M-Files also received the highest score for the Information Governance use case and earned scores among the top three highest in all use cases in the 2021 Gartner® Critical Capabilities for Content Services Platforms Report.
