This approach provides a strong foundation for GenAI, enhancing data relevance and accuracy.
Capabilities of knowledge work automation
M-Files’ ability to create relationships between data points and apply governance rules automatically is a standout feature. This functionality ensures compliance with internal policies and external regulations, reduces administrative burdens, and empowers knowledge workers to focus on strategic activities. The company’s solutions align with evolving customer demands for collaborative, efficient, and secure information management.
