M-Files Named As ‘Leader' In ECM Value Matrix From Nucleus Research

M-Files Outpaces All Other "Leaders" on Usability

M-Files Corporation, a provider of solutions that dramatically improve how enterprises manage documents and other information, recently announced that the company is ranked as a "Leader"in the 2014 Nucleus Research Technology Value Matrix for Enterprise Content Management (ECM). The Value Matrix is based on functionality and usability, the two core measures that Nucleus has found indicate an application’s ability to deliver initial ROI and, ultimately, maximum value over time.

Nucleus Research is a global provider of investigative, case-based technology research and advisory services that provide real-world insight into maximizing technology value. In this latest edition of its 2014 ECM Value Matrix, Nucleus Research notes that "ECM vendors are focusing development on simplification, automation, and integration to generate value for customers" and "Despite the relative maturity of the ECM market, vendors continue to develop and enhance offerings for cloud and hybrid deployments as users increasingly turn to these environments to produce higher ROI."

Accordingly to the Nucleus Research Technology Value Matrix for ECM,"Flexible deployment and high regulatory compliance capabilities have made M-Files a popular choice in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries … Moreover, the ease of an M-Files deployment, the adoption rate, and the high functionality come at a lower price than other ECM vendors."

By providing a dramatically faster and simpler way to manage documents and other information, M-Files improves productivity and responsiveness by giving employees instant access to the information they need to do their job, when they need it, and from any device. Witha uniquely flexible set of deployment options, including on-premises, cloud and hybrid implementations, M-Files eliminates the content chaos inherent in today’s companies by providing an easy to use solution that enables users to quickly locate the exact content they need, regardless of which business application it resides in.

“M-Files is strategically partnered with numerous hardware and software vendors including Microsoft, Salesforce, and Epson to improve system functionality and end-user experience. Moreover, the ease of an M-Files deployment, adoption rate, and high functionality come at a lower price than other ECM vendors,” said John Drotar, analyst at Nucleus Research.

"Being named as a 'Leader' in the ECM industry by Nucleus Research is a significant milestone for
M-Files, and we believe this recognition further establishes us as one of the top ECM vendors in the world," said Greg Milliken, vice president of marketing at M-Files Corporation. "Businesses rely on fast access to current information to make smarter and faster decisions for competitive advantage, and M-Files is succeeding because we provide a simple way for companies to ensure that the right content is in the right hands at the right time, which improves their ability to drive growth, value and innovation."

In April 2014, Nucleus published an ROI case study on M-Files customer Booth & Associates, a North Carolina-based electrical engineering firm, which highlighted the positive financial impact the company has experienced from using M-Files, such as a 378 percent ROI; a payback period of four months; and an average annual benefit of $119,019.
