Information management with M-Files
Do you like to take the lead and get stuck in? At GeONE (part of the Amista Group) We are looking for an M-Files Lead Consultant: a role for someone with ambition, energy and determination who is ready to take the next step. You’ll move effortlessly between business and IT, take the lead in guiding the project team on technical matters, and remain hands-on throughout the implementation. In this way, you’ll ensure that M-Files is not only set up properly, but, above all, is truly embedded within the organisation and delivers immediate value in practice.
As a Lead Consultant, you will be the driving force behind our large-scale and complex M-Files projects. You will set the direction, make decisions where necessary and help the team to deliver outstanding results. At the same time, you will act as the trusted adviser to the customer: clear, practical and results-oriented.
Clients knock on our door with a variety of challenges, from making information widely and quickly available through to optimising information processes and workflows. Securing documents and information often plays a key role in this. However, there is also an increasing demand for the use of AI for information analysis and processing, which we can meet with M-Files. Your work will consist of a wide variety of projects for different clients, ranging from start-ups to large organisations.
What will you do?
The client’s wishes and requirements
You will discuss the client’s wishes and requirements and translate these into a suitable M-Files configuration. You will oversee M-Files implementations from the initial consultation through to go-live (and beyond).
Getting stuck in
You are hands-on: you configure elements as required (metadata, workflows, authorisations, views, templates, vault structure). You manage implementation consultants within the project team: prioritising, coordinating, reviewing and coaching.
Management & supervision
You translate requirements into a smart solution design and oversee the scope, quality and schedule. You’ll take charge of the technical side and manage technical consultants: integrations, migrations, SSO/identity, security and the test/release approach. You’ll provide reassurance and clarity to stakeholders: from key users to IT/security and management.

What is the client's business like? What kind of documents does the organisation work with? What processes does the organisation have? What are the possible objectives and intended results?
You will visit a new client with a colleague for an initial workshop. In this workshop, you will identify the customer's needs, processes and way of working. All with the aim of seeing how we can create efficiencies with M-Files.
You have previously gathered a lot of information about the customer during a workshop. You are going to work out the functional requirements of what the customer wants. The functional requirements of the project, what does the customer want to achieve what goals does the customer have?

You have agreed to briefly update with one of the clients you work for. This way, you can move quickly and solve small problems immediately.
What kind of objects does the client deal with? Objects such as files, projects, employees, locations, customers and clients, and what is the relationship between these objects? You will map this using the object model and this will serve as the basis for setting up M-Files.
After you have established all the functional requirements and the object model, you will start configuring M-Files. You are going to configure M-Files to the customer's situation.
You will sit in the chair of the different users and see what they need to use M-Files optimally. For the client's different target groups, you're going to map out a route everyone learns to work with M-Files. How should they use it, will anything change in their work process?
Visiting the client, you and a colleague present the furnishings you have created for the client.
Instructing and supervising client employees. You will provide training on how they will work with M-Files, listen to questions employees have, and incorporate comments and questions into the set-up of M-Files.
Together with your colleagues, you go into Utrecht to have a nice drink and discuss everything that is not work-related!
M-Files has a new release, with new functionalities. You are going to discover these in a webinar organised by M-Files in order to put them back into the customer solution.
Exchange knowledge and experience with colleagues so that you can learn from each other. What have you learned from past projects and how can we use these lessons learned as an organisation?
Once in a while, we discuss our way of working with all colleagues. What goes well with the way we work? How can we improve it internally? You can influence how we work! Do you have a good idea? This is the time to discuss it.
