Laserfiche Recognized as a Leader in 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Document Management

Laserfiche named a Leader for the second consecutive time based on its Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute.

LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, MAY 5, 2026 — Laserfiche — the leading SaaS provider of intelligent content management — has been positioned as a Leader in the 2026 Magic Quadrant for Document Management. Laserfiche believes this recognition underscores the company’s commitment to empowering organizations to transform complex, operational business processes through AI-powered content management.

“It’s incredible to see Laserfiche recognized during the same week as our annual Empower conference, where we announced our latest agentic AI capabilities,” said Thomas Phelps, senior vice president of corporate strategy and chief information officer at Laserfiche. “We believe being positioned as a Leader — and receiving the highest overall rating among 16 vendors in Gartner Peer Insights, with a 4.7 out of 5.0 based on over 1,300 reviews as of April 30, 2026 — reflects our relentless focus on product innovation and delivering value to our customers.”

As the document management market continues to evolve and expand, the ability to bridge the gap between static content and actionable enterprise intelligence has become a defining competitive advantage. In the report, Gartner noted, “A key challenge for organizations is harnessing the potential of unstructured data (content) using AI, while simultaneously mitigating risks through robust control and governance.”

Governance-first AI Innovation

Laserfiche continues to accelerate its product capabilities to meet the demands of modern IT environments, focusing on features that turn structured and unstructured content into an enterprise asset. These features prioritize the rigorous information governance, security and compliance standards required by the world’s most demanding industries, including government, financial services and manufacturing.

The platform now features advanced AI-enabled data extraction via Smart Fields, the Smart Chat AI assistant, improved metadata experiences, and enhanced data lookups, all designed to optimize content, making it structured, accessible and ready for AI consumption.

The company’s roadmap includes the expansion of Laserfiche AI Agents functionality including the ability to embed agentic tasks directly into workflows, and the ability to run Agents in the background, monitoring the system for the specified conditions and then completing tasks ambiently. Laserfiche will also introduce additional security advancements in Q3 of 2026. These updates will further solidify Laserfiche’s ability to support highly regulated industries with secure, governed AI deployment.

“Laserfiche has served as the backbone of our finance operations for years, delivering the stability and granular governance we require for our critical documentation,” said Desiree Champaco, VP of information technology and supply chain at Diamond of California. “As Diamond optimizes how we work with suppliers, production partners and customers, Laserfiche’s AI capabilities will play a larger role in how we capture, deliver and leverage accurate, reliable data.”

“As a Top Digital City, Scottsdale is dedicated to using world-class technology to provide our residents with a responsive, modern experience,” said Bianca Lochner, chief information officer for the City of Scottsdale. “Laserfiche has been a collaborative partner in our digital evolution, providing a secure framework to transform complex data into better citizen services.
