It department was involved in this process with the M-files team
We had been trying to look at Laserfiche but the reps did not get back to us. M-files team was active and worked closely with us to achieve what we required.
M-files has worked very well in the tracing of materials used, locating documents and providing reports. M-files also has very good support.
