M-Files launched M-Files for Consulting, a purpose-built application for consulting firms that organizes the full proposal-to-delivery lifecycle based on client, proposal, and engagement context. Built on M-Files’ AI-native platform, the solution creates a governed, structured workspace with role-based user experiences. M-Files for Consulting ensures the content AI surfaces and generates is accurate, approved, and appropriately governed within a secure controlled environment.
“Consulting firms are under enormous pressure to move faster, deliver more consistently, and leverage AI across the business, but fragmented knowledge is holding them back,” stated Yohan Lobo, Senior Manager of Industry Solutions at M-Files. “In an AI-augmented consulting firm, the system of record matters more than ever. To protect margins, retain knowledge, and use AI with confidence, firms need a trusted foundation of governed, contextual content.”
M-Files for Consulting brings proposals, engagements, deliverables, and firm expertise together around client and engagement context. Key features of M-Files’ consulting solution include:
- AI-accelerated proposals use prior approved and governed firm content and knowledge to draft proposals faster by reviewing and assessing relevant prior proposals, case studies, and templates.
- Role-based user experiences provide tailored, governed views and workflows based on role, responsibility, work context, and permissions. For example, partners see delivery status and firm-wide knowledge; managers run structured reviews and approvals; consultants draft and reuse content with confidence; and IT maintains information governance without customization overhead.
- Governed knowledge reuse turns every engagement into a reusable firm asset by capturing final deliverables, playbooks, and best practices in context for trusted AI-assisted reuse.
- Confidentiality and controlled design keep AI grounded in secure information governance, with policy-driven, permission-aware controls that protect client and firm IP while enabling authorized teams to move quickly.
