Every organization is on an MFT journey. Taking the first step from FTP to MFT usually follows a significant event or pressing project. Soon, you find you own several projectbased MFT products through departmental buying or acquisition. The next step on the journey is the move to an “operations” MFT, which focuses on consolidation and  modernization of all the point products for better control, delivery, and efficiencies of scale. Finally, an MFT Center of Excellence removes barriers, allowing your business to grow. The third stage is  implementing an MFT Center of Excellence that focuses on  supporting enterprise-level Service Level Agreements (SLA). 

This phase is usually driven by a best practices approach to governance, scalability and high availability requirements and regulatory compliance. Regardless of where you are on your MFT journey, a new set of change drivers are going to challenge your  current MFT solution. 

The journey to a Managed File Transfer Center of Excellence

Fulfill all your file transfer needs in one solution. A robust gateway, reliable point-topoint transfers, and enhanced edge-security protection — all monitored for full visibility and governance over your entire MFT environment.

Advanced security capabilities

End-to-end visibility and governance

Central monitoring and configuration management provide visibility into file transfers and B2B processes across a supported infrastructure within the network. You can align server views with operational logic.   Define schedules, processes, file names and other metadata  through a simplified user interface  —  and also  define user roles  and security capabilities.

Scalable file transfer

Whether you are facing increasing file volumes, growing file sizes, or an expansion of trading partners — move files with confidence over an event-based architecture that enables high volumes and large file architecture with no product-defined limits.

Highly available architecture

Designed from the outset for high availability, the “always-on” architecture supports 24x7 operations, so your SLAs are more consistently met, further driving down the cost of doing business while improving customer satisfaction.

Reliable and automated file transfers
