M-Files IMPACT Global Conference 2025 – Day 1

This year, the annual M-Files Customer and Partner Conference will be held in the capital of Greece. All M-Filers worldwide are expected to attend the event in Athens, where they will have the opportunity to network with their peers and gain insight into the latest developments concerning M-Files products.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to attend the event. I would like to express my gratitude for the opportunity, and would like to thank my company dbi services for sending me to the event.

After travelling to Greece, I went to the hotel and M-Files event registration desk. Then I joined the welcome reception on the pool deck of the hotel with M-Files customers, partners and the M-Files Team, including the C-Management. We had some interesting chats about M-Files delivery and customer demos.

M-Files & Microsoft: Better Together

After the break and a first visit of the exhibition hall the morning continued with a session called “M-Files & Microsoft: Better Together”
Main speakers were Ian Story and Ryan Barry, M-Files. They provided a comprehensive insight into the collaborative efforts between M-Files and Microsoft, emphasising the commitment to a long-term partnership. Furthermore, they have committed to the further development of integration in the area of AI.

During the final two morning sessions, the emphasis was on the various ways in which M-Files can support a range of use cases, and how customers can leverage these to enhance business outcomes. Following the morning’s closing session, the customer, TTX, shared the company’s M-File journey with us.

Following the afternoon’s proceedings, a series of technical, development and business-related sessions were held. I had the opportunity to attend two informative sessions on technical and online development.
