Case Study: M-Files achieves double daily builds and reduces CI time from 90 to 30 minutes with Incredibuild

M-Files - Customer Case Study

M-Files, an enterprise content management vendor whose R&D team maintains a Windows backend, desktop, web and mobile clients, faced long compilation times that slowed both centralized continuous-integration (CI) builds and dozens of daily developer builds. Their CI system was producing five to ten 90-minute builds per day, creating a bottleneck that sometimes prevented same‑day actions — so M-Files turned to Incredibuild to tackle slow builds.

Incredibuild’s distributed build acceleration let M-Files leverage idle CPU across the network, cutting full CI builds from 90 minutes to 30 and effectively doubling daily full builds per CI server from 5 to 10. Individual developer build times improved by about 55%, giving faster feedback, reducing wait time, and materially boosting R&D productivity for M-Files.
