We’re seeing Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions being embraced by savvy global enterprises that recognize the business value of investing in what is increasingly being viewed as an infrastructure requirement. Today’s extended enterprise needs to share information internally across departments, divisions and acquisitions. It also needs to share information externally with customers, suppliers, business partners and with online collaborative communities.
These enterprises are telling us that the new generation of MFT solutions is providing numerous benefits on both sides of the business partner equation – supply and demand. For example, MFT is providing them with an opportunity to speed business cycles, improve responsiveness to market conditions and remove barriers to doing business electronically on a global scale.
Let’s look at some specific benefits:
- Real-time business partner collaboration and business application integration
- System-to-system and person-to-person file transfers
- Visibility into all file transfers
- Integration of critical back-end business applications with file transfers
- Best practices in governance, risk management and compliance
- Real-time issue/problem detection, resulting in speedy resolutions and avoidance of supply chain disruptions
- Timely decision making, reporting and analytics
We’d really like to hear about the benefits your enterprise is reaping from MFT.
You’ll want to read next week’s nuBlog, where we’ll tell you about several real-world examples of how extended enterprises are translating these benefits into bottom-line business results.
Until next week,
Kyle
