WTH is MFT…?

In an industry overrun by acronyms, you may be wondering “WTH is MFT?”

FWIW, here’s a brief overview.

“MFT” is the abbreviation of Managed File Transfer - a powerful technology which comprehensively addresses the risks and challenges of moving information both within an organisation, and externally, to suppliers, partners and customers.

MFT simplifies the complexities of data transfer by providing centralised control, encryption, and auditing capabilities. Unlike traditional approaches such as FTP, MFT offers enhanced security protocols, ensuring data privacy during transmission and storage.

The best MFT solutions do all this via a user-friendly interface, which is easy to use for even non-technical employees.

WHY MFT?

The reasons organisations initially adopt MFT solutions are many and varied.  However, every organisation which employs the technology soon realises its many and varied benefits.

Security

MFT employs robust encryption algorithms, reducing the risk of data breaches during transit. Features like Access Control, and Multi-factor Authentication, safeguard sensitive information from unauthorised access.

Efficiency

MFT automates repetitive tasks. This not only reduces human error, it saves significant staff time. Through scheduling of file transfers, monitoring of progress, and automatic error-handling, it enables a significant boost to operational efficiency.

Compliance

In industries with strict regulatory requirements, MFT helps companies meet compliance standards (e.g. HIPAA and GDPR) by automatically maintaining detailed logs and audit trails.

Scalability

Through its ability to handle large file transfers and an ever-growing number of users, MFT is able to grow in sync with an organisation's needs, while maintaining superior performance.

Collaboration

In addition to improving business processes within an organisation, MFT facilitates seamless collaboration with external partners, suppliers, and customers, fostering strong relationships built on shared trust and reliability.

W2 MFT?

If all that’s TMI, then the TL;DR is: MFT provides organisations a secure and efficient way to transfer their data.
