M-Files Easy Document Management Software

M-Files integrates easily with all the leading ERP, CRM, accounting software, as well as virtually any database, which means partners can easily tailor a high-performance document management solution for their customers

Dallas, TX (Vocus) August 10, 2010

Motive Systems, the developer of M-Files easy document management software, has launched a comprehensive channel program aimed at value-added resellers (VARs) and managed service providers (MSPs) that focus on business solutions for small to medium-sized businesses. The program enables channel partners to effectively market and service M-Files in conjunction with a reseller’s existing product portfolio, generally as a highly complementary offering to existing software and hardware solutions.

“M-Files integrates easily with all the leading ERP, CRM, accounting software, as well as virtually any database, which means partners can easily tailor a high-performance document management solution for their customers,” said Scott Erickson, channel manager at Motive Systems. “We’ve been piloting the program here in the US and Canada for the past few months, and we’re actively coordinating integration projects to offer targeted solutions to channel partners carrying complementary solutions such as SAGE Software, Microsoft Dynamics, Intuit QuickBooks, and hardware devices such as scanners and multi-function printers. Easy document management is something that any business can use, and M-Files is tightly integrated with Windows using the familiar Windows Explorer interface so the learning curve is zero.”

The M-Files Partner Program comprises a Starter Kit that includes licenses for resale, demo versions, training and marketing and support assistance, such as access to a partner portal from which sales tools, images, and other collateral can be downloaded. Membership in the program also entitles partners to receive qualified leads directly from Motive Systems.

Erickson also noted that Motive Systems offers territory exclusivity for first-movers in any metro area based on qualifications and experience, and can provide channel partners with pre- and post-sales support. “For larger accounts, if desired, we will meet with the customer alongside our channel partner, which is especially useful for larger deployments or integrations,” he added.

Centriworks (a division of Thermocopy) was one of the first U.S. partners to join Motive Systems’ channel program and added M-Files as a software solution to complement its core office equipment business. “M-Files has been an excellent addition to our portfolio. Our customers have been very receptive to the basic simplicity of the interface and the fast learning curve associated with it. They tell us it just makes sense,” said Todd Sheppard, CIO at Thermocopy. “Motive Systems has been a great partner to work with as well, and always very responsive in helping us when needed.”

GEOMAP GIS America of Canada has been working with Motive Systems for several months, initially offering M-Files to the manufacturing and engineering segment and leveraging M-Files’ AutoCAD integration to manage engineering drawings and designs, and more recently offering M-Files as an integral component of its geomapping product. “What we see is that M-Files has very broad application across many different companies,” said Stéphane Fioretti, sales manager at GEOMAP GIS America. “In addition to integrating M-Files with vertical solutions and various databases, we’re now marketing it to our customers as a standalone product that enhances almost any company’s workflow through adding simple but very advanced document management.”

True, professional document management that is both easy and affordable
Document management software software has traditionally been complicated and expensive, requiring significant investments in the software as well as the IT resources to configure and maintain it. In addition, solutions usually entail major changes in business processes that require costly user training. By offering a DMS that is both easy to use and affordable, M-Files makes this efficient office-management technology accessible to any business – especially smaller businesses. M-Files provides advanced document management features such as fast search, automated version control, secure access permissions, document check-in and check-out, and support for email and scanners for managing paper documents, as well as connections to other office systems such as a CRM, accounting or billing system.
