PRESS RELEASE
M-Files Partners with Adobe to Provide Easy and Secure Document E-Signatures
Legally binding e-signatures can be easily applied to any document managed by M-Files to speed up
transactions and approvals with Adobe Sign
Reading, UK – Nov. 9th
, 2020 – M-Files Corporation, the intelligent information management company,
today announced the integration of Adobe Sign, the market-leading e-signature solution in Adobe
Document Cloud, in the M-Files intelligent information management platform.
E-signatures provide an efficient, legal way to obtain consent or approval on electronic documents and
forms, and they can replace handwritten signatures in virtually any process. In paper-based processes,
both parties must print, sign and scan a document, or otherwise travel and meet for physical "wet ink"
signatures, an unnecessary and time-consuming inconvenience. M-Files provides unique, in-context
access to documents from any source within an organization, and now they can be electronically signed
with Adobe Sign. More than 8 billion electronic and digital signature transactions were processed through
Adobe Sign and Adobe Document Cloud in the past year. M-Files users can request e-signatures from
within any M-Files process, including with M-Files mobile apps and from within integrations in popular
applications, such as Microsoft Teams, Salesforce and Google Workplace.
Using e-signing in M-Files provides ample opportunities to improve customer satisfaction, efficiency and
compliance. Enterprises can significantly improve customer experience in sales and purchasing, as well as
in contract or client management, strengthening competitiveness and enriching their reputation as
innovators. Document heavy industries such as professional services, including legal and consulting
services, benefit from faster, more efficient processes while not sacrificing compliance. The same applies
for all internal processes that require legally binding signatures, such as quality control and auditing.
In the new remote working reality, e-signatures provide a great way to streamline processes that
otherwise would require lengthy workarounds. Companies have to maintain efficiency regardless of
where their staff is or where their information resides, therefore, the ability to access documentation and
complete transactions remotely is more critical than ever. With the flexibility provided by M-Files and
Adobe Sign, businesses can operate as usual even in these unusual times.
"Legally binding electronic signatures are a requirement for business in the future, particularly with the
demands of the new work environment where remote work is a requirement," said Greg Milliken, senior
vice president of strategic alliances at M-Files. "With billions of transactions from millions of signers
around the globe, Adobe is a true leader in the field, and we're excited about this new alliance and the
capabilities that Adobe Sign will bring to our customers."
"We look forward to working with M-Files to replace outdated paper-based, manual signature processes
with modern, digital signing experiences," said Chris Whitcomb, director of worldwide business
development at Adobe. "With Adobe Sign, M-Files customers will be able to get critical documents signed
quickly, easily, and securely, which is critical to remote work today."
