The benefits

Robust, flexible security

If improving efficiency and offering customers a better experience wasn’t enough to justify an investment in intelligent document management, having certified security and simple, powerful security roles should nail the discussion. Breaches can result in litigation, recovery expenses, and worst of all, almost irreparable reputation damage. Neither accounting firms nor their customers can afford security breaches, and administrators will also enjoy the ease of use of M-Files’ security features.

The benefits

Rapid access to information

M-Files can integrate with other common software and types of data storage, plus it also has its own central repository that companies can choose to use.
Either way, users can perform rapid searches to find the information they require across the entire information ecosystem. They don’t need to waste time looking for various documents in multiple places.

The benefits

Streamlined information processes

Efficient business processes and workflows add a competitive advantage to attract and retain talent: Besides offering their customers a better value, accounting firms will also enjoy such efficiencies as fast, AI-enabled editing and document searches. Employees won’t need to spend as much time on boring and error-prone tasks, so they’re free to focus on important aspects of their job. All accountants can see the value in getting more and better work done in less time. Instead of having to collate information from multiple sources, employees can see everything they need in context and in one place.

The benefits

Access to client documents anytime, anywhere

Users can log in to M-Files from any internet-enabled device they care to use. That means authorized users also have remote access to their information from the desktop inside a headquarters building, a laptop in a client’s office, or a cell phone at home. By setting security roles, accounting firms can also please their clients by allowing them to login and view or collaborate on relevant documents.

The benefits

Fast implementation

The implementation of our solution does not require a great deal of effort and is based on a ready-to-use, yet adaptable template. This template can serve as a guide and can be freely adapted according to the wishes of your firm.
