M-Files Corporation announced a strengthened technology alliance with Konica Minolta. After initial successes in 14 European countries, the two companies have widened their alliance to bring their intelligent information management solution to the entire European market. With a heightened partnership, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe and M Files will enhance AI-driven document management offerings for shared customers. The deeper alliance will enable users to benefit from Konica Minolta's existing document management solutions, strengthened by the M-Files next generation intelligent information management platform. The pan-European partnership will come into action this month. The partnership began with joint projects in various European countries, which have shown high potential: For example, Astrup AS, Norway's leading supplier for metals and plastic semi-finished products, significantly benefitted from the solutions. Realizing the need to digitalise their barcode-labels, they implemented M-Files, installed by Konica Minolta. M-Files recognises incoming documents and generates a digital stamp - comparable to a digital barcode. The solution files all documents for easy retrieval and connects the data to the applied ERP system. As a result, the digitalised process made work more efficient, faster and improved their overall quality. Another successful digitalisation has been realised with Norway's biggest manufacturer for ready-mixed concrete and concrete products: M-Files replaced the old and obsolete IT system, facilitating streamlined workflows. Additionally, improvements to planning processes resulted in increased efficiencies. These two examples highlight the high performance of the M-Files solution and the benefit it created. Based on this positive feedback, Konica Minolta and M-Files were inspired to widen their partnership and provide the intelligent ECM solution all across Europe.
