AI-Native Networking fuels the digital workplace at M-Files

To attract—and retain—top talent, companies need great workspaces. M-Files set out to design a new head office in Tampere, Finland with quiet workspaces, cozy breakout areas, a gym, and a music lounge that would enable efficient work but also creative and social interactions. There’s even a sauna.

M-Files wanted a network that would fit its new workplace—one that would deliver exceptional user experiences with simpler operations as it continues to advance its AI-driven document management platform.

“Managing our wireless gear was a pain,” says Pasi Sjöholm, Lead ICT Administrator at M-Files. “We had many different versions of wireless controllers and configuring them with command-line tools was a headache. We wanted a network that was easy to manage and could support our business needs for years to come.”

M-Files wanted better visibility into the network user experience and tools that could help the IT team quickly troubleshoot problems and identify when the source was the application, device, or network. “When there is a problem, everyone wants to blame the network,” he says. “We need to know exactly where a problem is and how to fix it.”

With a Juniper AI-Native Network, M-Files’ talented team can work efficiently and collaboratively at its headquarters. Based on better operator and end-user experiences, M-Files upgraded the network in its Helsinki office with Juniper.

“A Juniper network delivers improved performance and reliability with long-term cost savings,” says Sjöholm. “We started with Juniper in our local offices in Finland and will expand to other locations around the world.”

With intuitive tools and actionable insights of a Juniper AI-Native Network, Sjöholm can hand more network responsibilities over to his team. IT specialists are empowered to handle more network tasks on their own, and Sjöholm is freed up to plan and implement more strategic business services.

One plan Sjöholm intends to stand by is choosing Juniper. “We are looking forward to partnering with Juniper and growing our AI expertise together for many years to come,” he says.
