The Context Core

Context changes everything about how work gets done

At the heart of DFManage is a metadata-driven information architecture. Instead of burying documents in folders, DFManage describes what each thing is and how it connects — building an Enterprise Knowledge Graph that Aino, our trusted AI, uses to understand and act on your content.

Metadata-driven architecture

Information is organized by what it is and how it relates — not by where it happens to sit in a folder tree.

Enterprise Knowledge Graph

Documents, data and people are connected through living business context that stays accurate as work evolves.

Aino — trusted AI

A permission-aware AI layer that understands your content and turns it into answers, actions and automation.

Enterprise Knowledge Graph

Replace folders with meaning

The Enterprise Knowledge Graph connects documents, data and people through business context. Rigid folder hierarchies give way to metadata and living relationships, so the same document naturally appears wherever it belongs.

  • No more folder guesswork

    Find information by what it relates to, not where someone filed it.

  • Context-based dynamic views

    Views assemble the right content on demand — no duplication.

  • Living relationships

    Connections stay accurate automatically as your business changes.

Trusted AI · Aino

AI you can actually trust with your business

Aino only ever surfaces what each person is allowed to see — governance is never an afterthought.

Agentic metadata automation

AI reads, classifies and tags content, then proposes the next action so work moves itself forward.

  • Grounds Copilot in governed content

    Give Microsoft Copilot a trusted, permission-aware source so its answers are accurate and safe.

FAQ

Answers to common questions

DFManage is a context-first document management and knowledge work platform. Instead of folders, it organizes information with metadata and relationships, then layers workflow automation and trusted AI on top — all native to Microsoft 365.

Every object is described by what it is (its class) and how it relates to other things — customers, projects, people and cases. Dynamic views assemble the right documents on demand, so the same file can appear anywhere it belongs without duplication.

Permissions, retention and audit trails are driven by metadata and applied automatically across the information lifecycle. Access follows business context, so the right people see the right content — and compliance is continuous rather than manual.

Aino, our trusted AI layer, classifies and tags content, suggests metadata, answers questions and drives agentic automation. Because it is permission-aware and grounded in governed content, its output stays accurate and secure.

Base, Business and Enterprise editions scale from core document management to advanced automation, AI and governance. Most teams start with Business; our team can help you map capabilities to your requirements on a quick call.

DFManage works natively inside Microsoft 365 — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and SharePoint — with true co-authoring, Copilot grounding and Microsoft Purview support, so your teams never leave the tools they already use.

Connect Salesforce, SAP, Google Workspace, Adobe Acrobat Sign, network folders, e-signature providers and more, so documents and metadata flow across the systems your business already runs on.
