Maximize Your ROI When Adopting Hosted Secure Information Exchange Services
By Jim Morris
Outsourcing certain IT infrastructure and services to the cloud continues to increase in popularity as companies manage to tighter financial margins, face increasing budgetary pressures, and look for efficiencies across their business operations. Rapid deployment and scalability, along with a more predictable cost structure, are key benefits driving adoption of cloud-based solutions.
Managed file transfer (MFT) is a key business enabler that allows companies to automate and audit the exchange of business information. MFT solutions also support secure exchange of large files that cannot be shared using standard e-mail systems. The emergence of MFT solutions predates the current growth of cloud-based services. Therefore, integration of enterprise MFT capabilities and cloud-based hosted services, also known as hosted MFT, is a relatively recent development that provides an attractive alternative for businesses seeking higher operating margins.
