"Our metadata-driven architecture is comprehensive, spanning all aspects of our product, including browsing and navigation, access permissions, workflow, and now replication. When coupled with our ability to deliver an identical experience on-premise or in the cloud, metadata-driven replication opens up a variety of common and advanced new use cases, from basic cloud-based backup and disaster recovery, to advanced support for geographically distributed enterprises requiring multiple document repositories. And more remarkable is the fact that we have not compromised ease of use; M-Files provides these rich capabilities 'out of the box' without requiring programming or extensive consulting services, ensuring a fast implementation and a rapid ROI."</p><p><a href="http://www.itweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=59015:m-files-9.0-leverages-metadata-to-deliver-new-ecm-capabilities-impossible-with-folder-based-alternatives">Keep reading...</a></p>
