According to Gartner, “The content services platform market is highly mature, but differentiation exists between the vendors in the way they apply intelligence capabilities, their approach to federation and their prebuilt content services applications.”

M-Files received the highest score (4.08 out of 5) for the Content Services Platform Consolidation Use Case. Gartner defines Content Services Platform Consolidation as “modernizing infrastructure, reducing costs, and providing a services-based strategy for content to consolidate legacy and redundant capabilities. Differentiation in this category is driven by interplatform orchestration and breadth of support for vertical and horizontal business processes.”

Gartner defines federation as “the ability to extend content services such as security, search and records management to external content systems via prebuilt connectors and to manage content objects in place.” “We view Gartner’s recognition of both our best-in-class federation and our continued innovation in federation as validation that our modern, intelligent approach uniquely positions us to help enterprises navigate today’s top information management challenges,” said Antti Nivala, CEO at M-Files. “We believe the recognition in the Gartner Magic Quadrant and Critical Capabilities reports reaffirms our vision to future-proof today’s businesses by ensuring seamless access to documents and information while minimizing risk.”
