Microsoft Office 365 is used by many organisations for collaboration, content creation and publishing, but document management capabilities such as workflows, version control and metadata are missing, however. M-Files integrates these document management functionalities into your existing Office 365 environment.

M-Files supports all Microsoft Office file formats, but also integrates directly into Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook. This way, you enrich your Office 365 environment with comprehensive document management capabilities. Read our blog on How well M-Files and Office 365 integrate.
M-Files in Word, Excel, Powerpoint
You reach the functionalities of M-Files directly from the Office ribbon interface, so you can start working with any document right away.
Convert your Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents into intelligent and dynamic M-Files templates. These M-Files templates can easily and even automatically create meta-data data, such as company name, contact details or an address. As a result, efficiency goes up, as does the consistency and quality of documents.
M-Files also allows comparing different versions of Word documents and highlighting changes. In this way, versioning and revising document becomes consistent and effective.
