"Our goal is to provide our clients with cost effective solutions that drive productivity."

Pat Schaefer, CEO

M-Files DMS is a document management system for Windows Server and can run physically or virtually on a non-dedicated server or in the cloud. A quick setup for clients using Windows automatically maps a drive to the system’s central repository. Each user’s own repository appears as a drive or network share, guiding them into DMS through the familiar Windows Explorer UI.

Depending on permissions, documents can be checked out of a folder for viewing or editing, or can be assigned to other system users for editing, approval or other tasks based on the company’s individual workflow. In addition, all file versions are preserved and activities are tracked for later audit or regulatory compliance.

The system keeps track of files through the use of metadata. Prior to creating any document, the user is presented with fields for entering metadata to classify what’s being created. Labels for metadata appear in drop-downs, can trigger additional lists and/or workflows.  These are completely customizable. Permissions can also be set or edited at any later time.

“Our goal is to provide our clients with cost effective solutions that drive productivity.” said Pat Schaefer, CEO of 5i Solutions, Inc. “M-Files is a perfect tool for this as it maintains integrity of the document while automating workflows thus reducing manual handling of documents and other tasks required to track and complete general business tasks.”

5i Solutions’ product offering of M-Files DMS provides a fast and well-organized way to find documents with no wasted time, redundancy or cost.
