M-Files & Microsoft - Native SharePoint-Embedded-Integration accelerates AI Document Management

July 1, 2025 – this date marks a milestone: M-Files, the leader in AI-supported document management, now stores content natively in SharePoint Embedded within Microsoft 365. For the first time, the company combines its industry expertise with Microsoft functionality at all levels:

• Co-authoring and collaborating in real time across Office apps, Teams, and OneDrive
• Security and governance at the level of Microsoft Purview
• and AI evaluation via Microsoft Copilot & M-Files Aino 

Why it's relevant

Until now, many companies have been faced with the challenge of having to choose either powerful industry solutions (e.g. manufacturing, consulting, energy) or deeply integrated Microsoft functionality. These trade-offs are now no longer necessary: Content remains fully within the Microsoft 365 security landscape and is immediately ready to use AI.

Advantages at a glance

• Reliable AI results: Generative AI like Copilot now accesses high-quality, classified content in M-Files
• Maximum productivity: Real-time collaboration without data breaks – technically brokerless and centrally indexed
• Centralized governance: Unified compliance rules via Microsoft Purview secure marketing, financial, and research data
• Investment protection: Existing Microsoft licenses remain usable – without additional repos or interfaces

The official information about the partnership can be found in the publications of Microsoft and M-Files.
