M-Files Introduction

M-Files has been named as the only vendor to appear as a Visionary in Gartner’s 2016 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Content Management (ECM).

With Series B funding of €33 million, M-Files is “disrupting the ECM market by eliminating information silos and providing quick and easy access to the right content from any core business system and device.”

Benefits of its technology include very low implementation times and high user adoption rates.

Requirements

In 2014 M-Files launched its UK operation following significant success in the US. However, it was almost unknown in the UK at the time and needed to build a team from scratch.

The difficulty was in attracting top talent to a company that was unproven in the UK market.

Oakstone's Solution

M-Files approached Oakstone International on an exclusive basis.

Oakstone worked hard to understand the client’s hiring requirements and also to convey the right messaging for the company.

We helped candidates to understand the client’s value proposition, its differentiators, market potential, company culture and working environment.

Benefits

M-Files has:

Enjoyed 100 per cent retention of the executives sourced by Oakstone
Built a sales team that has over-achieved its targets in the UK each year.
Has experienced strong sales growth in 2015 and 2016, outpacing its industry peers.

The company has reported strong revenue growth in all three of its main geographic regions: the USA, Europe and Asia. Demand for cloud-based solutions has surged.
