Simflofy
A Modern, Connected Approach to Information Management

In today’s era of big data, organizations are overwhelmed with the ever-increasing volume of business documents generated from everyday activities. As the content volume grows considerably, information management has become challenging as a myriad of documents and files are dispersed across multiple digital applications, platforms, and repositories. Documents spread over multiple silos without governance can create immense problems for organizations. These include documents being misfiled, users not able to find the right information at the right time, access permissions becoming unmanageable, and of increasing importance privacy and security risks. These compelling challenges inspired the need for a well-designed document management platform to cohesively control documents for businesses across industries.

This business challenge became the focus of Texas-based Simflofy — leading to development of an advanced enterprise content management system with the same name. Launched in 2012, Simflofy is the brainchild of experts in content management, data, and integration. Simflofy allows organizations to efficiently and effectively capture, store, share, secure, and access content in disparate systems from a centralized location. “We are an integration platform at the core. Our vision is to become the middleware for unstructured data,” remarks Mark Lugert, president of Simflofy.

Simflofy’s document management solution seamlessly integrates to organizations’ other business apps and content management repositories, providing a single, powerful view on all content across the enterprise. Uniquely flexible, the platform comes with connectors to over fifty-five common content sources, repositories and applications such as Box, SharePoint, Salesforce, and MS Outlook. Using a number of intuitive and ingenious content management capabilities, including federation, synchronization, in-place records management, data discovery, migration capabilities, and many more that other document management systems fail to leverage, Simflofy has a large catalog of content management services. “We have full APIs and all the functionalities an organization requires to manage their unstructured data,” adds Lugert. As a complete content management platform, Simflofy manages and secures data, enhances workflows, and reduces compliance risks and costs, handling the full document life cycle across different systems.

Furthermore, Simflofy has the ability to connect and manage any type of data regardless of format, location, or archiving policies.

The real differentiator of Simflofy is that it does not limit itself to the standard functionality of an ECM, unlike other document management platforms. The platform is uniquely designed to protect and extend organizations’ applications and components by interoperating with their existing environment.

Simflofy, as a document management platform, is designed to allow organizations to work with other products. Users and developers can effortlessly integrate their own solutions or other content repositories to the platform. It is easy for organizations to build custom applications and components that are content-centric and add it to Simflofy without any external support.

The advanced functionalities and features of Simflofy enables organizations to focus on their business instead of building new platforms or seeking new tools for managing their documents. Simflofy takes care of all their information management requirements. “When our customers use Simflofy, they have everything they need. They don’t have to use different tools with our product to meet their needs,” Lugert informs.

Optimizing information management at its core, Simflofy offers users incredible scalability, intuitive sharing, and integrated disaster recovery—all enabled by its innovative technology stack. The Simflofy Java-based platform, underpinned by MongoDB and Elasticsearch, makes it an efficient and flexible document management system. Simflofy has a vast client base dealing with billions of documents that hold sensitive information—as a result information security is of the utmost importance with frequent and comprehensive security audits automatically configured.

We are an integration platform at the core. Our vision is to become the middleware for unstructured data,” remarks Mark Lugert, president of Simflofy.

Simflofy has forged robust partnerships with esteemed names in the information industry such as Alfresco, Nuxeo, M-Files, and Everteam to provide out-of-the-box offerings. The solution is offered to the customers in healthcare, insurance, oil and gas, banking, consulting, and government, either directly or through partners.

Looking to the future, Lugert explains that Simflofy’s document management solutions, with multiple integrations and innovative new features, are in a prime spot to fulfill organizations’ legacy modernization needs. Simflofy’s ground-breaking solution can effectively handle the unstructured data explosion and open up a potential future for document management. “Simflofy is the product that makes an entire content environment cloud-ready as soon as it is installed. While other document management systems in the market cater to only a piece of the data explosion puzzle, Simflofy bridges all the gaps in document management through its solutions,” concludes Lugert.
