M-Files and Esri integrate solutions to connect maps and geodata with related documents to boost efficiency

The solution integrates the M-Files intelligent information management platform with Esri's geographic information system (GIS) for mapping and analytics, offering a new way to manage documents and other information by integrating and using maps and geodata to browse and access information. The integration provides seamless, in-context access to important documents and information residing in other systems directly from the ArcGIS and M-Files user interfaces.

"M-Files for Esri ArcGIS connects map item data with information in M-Files, making content retrievable in both systems for a more unified user experience," said Eija Paajanen, director of product marketing at M-Files. "Bridging information gaps and eliminating information silos, M-Files helps users increase visibility, boost process efficiencies and better ensure compliance.”

"There is tremendous synergy between M-Files and Esri as partners as we both have a global reach, support diverse government and private industry user communities and have very complementary information management offerings," said Paul Hartwell, Partner Executive for Esri’s Natural Resources sector.

“M-Files has carefully engineered the integration and there has been a lot of early interest including city governments in Australia, mapping agencies in Europe, utility companies in Scandinavia and oil and gas operators in North America.”
