Secure and reliable electronic transfer of data
Managed File Transfer is a technology – offered as a software platform but also available as a cloud service – that allows organizations the secure and reliable electronic exchange of (often sensitive) data of any size. MFT comprises software technologies that secure, control, document, and automate the complete process of electronic data exchange. These file transfers can be internal or external to an organization, MFT allows the transfer of structured or unstructured data of various types including sensitive, compliance-related or even very high volume data.
Using MFT, organizations can replace unsecure methods of file transfer like standard file transfer protocol (FTP), eMail or popular but often unsecure internet file sharing services.

Without MFT software, any exchange of unstructured data such as contracts, drawings, reports, employee information, project data, customer and supplier data etc. takes place without any oversight or control checks, entailing security or compliance risks.
Still too often, organizations continue to use FTP or eMail for sensitive file transfer activities. Learn in our blog “STOP: The Risks of Using FTP and Email for the Transfer of Sensitive Files” in more detail why this has to be avoided.
In recent years, file sharing services became quite popular for private use. Learn in our blog “File Sharing Services – File Security Is Only Half The Story…“ why these are no option for enterprise file transfer needs.
By embracing MFT, organizations can consolidate all data transfers on a central, monitored communication platform. MFT enables critical business data to be securely exchanged with business partners, systems and applications, all with an audit trail. This effectively prevents data manipulation and loss, which is especially important for unstructured business data (e.g. contracts, drawings, reports, employee information, project data, customer and supplier data etc.).
With MFT, companies cannot only rule out the risks of unsecure and inefficient data transmission. However, they can also reduce their operating costs by using a single and central solution. At the same time, the MFT solution provides an overview as to what potentially sensitive data has been forwarded to where or whom internally or externally – whether intended or not – and can respond to situations in an appropriate and timely manner.
MFT also helps companies meet their own data protection and privacy regulations (company policies) as well as industry-specific compliance requirements. For example the Sarbanes–Oxley Act (SOX) governing financial data and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) governing health data in the United States. Or the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA).

Many business processes involve the electronic exchange of business information – information shared either within the company or with business partners such as customers, suppliers or service providers.
Reliable and secure electronic transfer of sensitive data is crucial to business success. Secure MFT solutions offer the following key benefits:

High-performance MFT solutions are well suited for a wide range of data-exchange scenarios.When replacing error prone and unsecure manual processes, MFT solutions can be used and avoid investments in specialized applications for each use case.
Instead of investing into a digital payroll solution just to distribute payroll information to employees, an MFT solution can take over this task and ensures process automation, secure communication and compliance.
The best and most efficient way for an electronic ordering process is still in most cases the structured B2B/EDI data exchange. However, smaller suppliers are often reluctant to invest into such technology. With MFT, companies can establish an electronic ordering process also with very small suppliers – without the need for them to invest into technology.
An MFT based solution automates the ordering process, gives great transparency, allows to attach necessary additional documents (e.g. sensitive engineering files) and integrates involved applications (here ERP and Archive applications).

Most products or cloud services on the market today support MFT core features. However, to get the full benefit out of MFT, companies should carefully review the supported “enterprise features” as described below.
First of all, a solution for Managed File Transfer has to solve the core requirements in your file transfers:
When selecting a new MFT solution for broad usage within an organization, beyond these core requirements the following points should also be considered. Let’s take a closer look at the requirements that are really necessary to solve the complete problem (far more than just pure file transfer). A comprehensive solution also needs to address the following questions:
Therefore, when selecting a new MFT solution, companies should rather prefer a comprehensive integration platform. Solutions like SEEBURGER´s MFT solution are part of an overall, comprehensive integration platform: SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite.
