• A single platform that can manage multiple business integration and file sharing functions, simplifying the IT infrastructure by eliminating disparate point solutions.
• Pre-configured packaged solutions for specific industries as well as a large library of pre-built components, reducing deployment time and expense.
• A WebEDI option that makes it possible to exchange purchase orders and other transaction messages electronically with customers or suppliers without an in-house EDI infrastructure.
• One consolidated view of both structured and unstructured data exchange activity, streamlining administration and increasing visibility for governance and regulatory compliance.
• A modular approach that grows with the organization’s needs, making it possible to add new components as required rather than having to buy new solutions as old ones are outgrown.
• Cloud, managed services or on-premise deployment options, along with rapid implementation and fast return on investment.

• Support for unlimited file sizes, overcoming the 2GB limit of other managed file transfer solutions as well as email file limitations.
• Built-in business process management (BPM) support, eliminating the need to use a third-party BPM solution to establish routing and workflow for file transfer issues ranging from authorized senders and recipients to rules-based placement of transmitted files in destination folders. The suite’s BPEL support also provides the option to use an already-deployed BPM engine.
• Reliable delivery even over erratic network connections, using a new SEEBURGER-developed Secure Link Management Protocol (SLMP) that routes files directly from endpoint to endpoint - bypassing the MFT server - while still providing governance and policy enforcement to prevent unauthorized file transfers. This facilitates data exchange even with remote and overseas sites, and also eliminates server-related bottlenecks and scalability problems.
•  Automated content filtering to block files with sensitive information where policy requires, via ICAP-based integration with leading content-aware data loss protection (DLP) solutions.
•  Automated endpoint provisioning and management, reducing deployment time and expense by pre-populating individual PCs and servers with configuration information. SEE MFT can also check the heartbeats of thousands of SEEBURGER endpoints, detect temporary outages, delay file transfers until problems are resolved, and update endpoints and public keys remotely.  
• Built-in end point translation engine, enabling transmitted data to be converted to the appropriate ERP or other format after it has been decrypted and decompressed rather than requiring separate transfer agents that can trigger outside processes.  
• Support for all major platforms, operating systems, and data and communication protocols to ensure use by any enterprise and interoperability with all business and trading partners.

Newer options such as SEEBURGER Managed File Transfer (SEE MFT) solve these problems by providing enhanced security features, a common process management platform, and vital auditability and centralized reporting to support governance and compliance efforts.

This next-generation file transfer strategy ensures secure and reliable data exchange with automatic encryption, robust authentication and other protections to ensure that sensitive enterprise content is protected in flight and at rest. SEE MFT also makes it possible to tie file exchanges of any size into automated business processes and workflows; provides end-to-end monitoring, auditing and tracking capabilities; and merges all file transfer activity – including human-to-human, human-to-system, system-to-system, internal, external, structured, unstructured, and B2B/EDI supply chain transaction messages – into a single view to simplify management and reduce the total cost of ownership.
