THE TECHNOLOGY TRENDS THAT IMPACT OUR ROADMAP

Cloud Mobile Big Data

Social

Security

CLOUD-FIRST BUT NOT CLOUD-ONLYM-Files is the leading vendor in the cloud in being able to provide a full-featured system as a cloud service.

All core functionality in the cloud, with full parity with our on-premises offering.

Strong partnership with Microsoft Azure ensures high scalability, reliability and geographical coverage of the service.

Seamless hybrid cloud user experience for optimal responsiveness and TCO

Freedom of choice: migration paths from cloud to on-premises and vice versa supported

MOBILE STRATEGYHeavy investments for better Android, iOS and Windows apps

Mobile-optimized apps rather than mobile-tolerant imitations of the PC client features

Mobile-first thinking: Leveraging unique features of the mobile

devices, such as GPS, camera, voice recognition, touch gestures, etc.

Designing new features first for mobile: what can be done with a phone or tablet eventually will get done with them.

BIG DATA STRATEGYContinuous investments for better scalability of the repositories

Support for wide variety of content

Better contextualization of information with metadata and text analytics

Enhancing our support for additional external repositories, such as Google Drive, SharePoint, and Box.

SOCIAL ECM STRATEGYMany social content management solutions are emphasizing more push than pull:

Users need to share (push) content to the feeds, wikis, etc.

Other users can subscribe for specific information to get notifications

We believe this is simply another way to replace email

Our goal is to enhance productivity by providing up-to-date information to users when they need it…

When content is easy to store and find, actively sharing it becomes less relevant

…but we still want to enable discussion around content and topics

We continue developing these features in M-Files

SECURITYMobility and cloud set new requirements for security

Users must manage and share more data than ever before The systems need to be accessible from anywhere, any time and

with any device IT wants to manage identities centrally

We understand these needs and provide and develop new solutions to avoid data leakage and minimize the consequences of it

Federated authentication (SAML 2.0, ADFS, etc.) Strong authentication (SMS tokens, biometrics, pre-shared keys,

behavioral authentication) Intrusion detection Suspicious user activity detection Encryption of data in transit and at rest
