Expand Reach

Customer challenges:

IT finds it difficult to accommodate the on-boarding requirements of a globally diverse trading partner community

It takes too long to on-board trading partners which delays time-to-revenue opportunities

Their existing file transfer architecture

cannot scale to support growth in both

trading partners and types of

transactions being exchanged without

compromising performance or requiring capital investment

Secure Transfers


Existing file transfer tools cannot ensure the security of data either at-rest or in-motion

The company has failed data security audits and has difficulty reacting to changing governmental and industry compliance requirements

Internal networks are at risk due to the use of FTP to exchange files with trading partners over the internet

Analog to Digital/Larger Files


The size of digital files can no longer be accommodated by existing file transfer tools and network options

File transfer infrastructures struggle to process increased file transfer activity driven by new trading partners and digitized content

The company has no central oversight or organizational awareness of these type of file transfers

Speed and Efficiency


The company lacks visibility over the file transfer activity that Service Level Agreements are dependent on

They want to replace FTP but are concerned about the cost to rip-and-replace all their FTP scripts and accompanying management tools

IT is under pressure to reduce the operational costs associated with B2B file transfer activity while improving reliability and accommodating growth at the same time
