Demand for M-Files Enterprise Content Management Cloud Solutions Drive a Nearly 50% Increase in SaaS Revenue in 2016
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) March 08, 2017 -- M-Files Corporation, a provider of solutions that dramatically improve how organizations manage documents and other information, today announced 2016 growth figures that highlight the accelerating worldwide adoption of its unique enterprise content management (ECM) solutions.
M-Files is growing much faster than other vendors and the overall market by offering a fundamentally different approach that addresses complex information management requirements without sacrificing simplicity and ease of use. ECM systems are typically complicated and obscure, demanding significant expertise and training to use them effectively. M-Files changes this by adapting to the way individuals and organizations overall naturally work, and it does it dynamically based on role or function, and what's important to the business, for instance, projects, cases, claims or customers.
M-Files experienced continued strong growth in 2016, driven by accelerating adoption in key regions around the world, particularly in North America, the Nordic region, Australia, Germany, France and Turkey. The company also saw a surge in demand for its cloud-based solutions resulting in a 47 percent increase in cloud revenue and a 220 percent increase in SaaS-based bookings in 2016 over 2015.
The M-Files partner channel was also a key driver of its robust worldwide growth in 2016, with total bookings generated through the company’s partner network increasing by nearly 40 percent compared to 2015. M-Files also continues to rapidly add new channel partners around the world, with the total number of partners growing to over 570 companies in over 100 countries.
"Before M-Files, all other alternatives on the market focused on locking up documents and other information in silos with complicated interfaces that make it difficult to find the right information and create barriers to user adoption," said Jim Geary, executive chairman at M-Files Corporation. "We're succeeding because M-Files offers a fundamentally different approach that unlocks information and breaks down silos. With M-Files it's all about context, flexibility and simplicity, making information accessible in a unified way across the organization no matter where it's stored. The result is a 360° view that ensures the right information is found quickly. Couple that with an intuitive interface that people love to use and it's easy to see why M-Files is growing so much faster than the rest of the market. Our approach and vision is also why analysts are rethinking the definition of ECM, and why Gartner named M-Files the only visionary in the ECM Magic Quadrant."
