There is an extremely common procedure that has a significant impact on a business’s sales process: the ability to efficiently exchange large digital files with their partners and customers. Many companies dealing with sensitive or regulated data deal with this problem, but often fail to take into account the significant impact this has on key business processes.
For one global memory chip maker, transferring files that were either too sensitive or too large for email often resulted in the company coming up with alternative solutions to manually send large files to their customers and partners. This time-consuming process not only delayed receiving and delivering sales orders, but also put sensitive customer files at higher risk.

For years, the talk about the “cloud” has been about as puffy, well, as a cloud. It was almost as if the mere mention was enough to boost a stock, regardless of whether or not the audience really knew what it meant.

Complexity often plagues today’s business data exchange strategies. With tight budgets, limited resources, and little time, organizations need to find bite-sized opportunities that drive efficiencies. The need to meet changing complex business requirements, compliance requirements, information security challenges and business operations complexities reinforce the need for a new approach to secure business data exchange environments.
Business data exchanges are becoming feature- and function-rich environments. The incremental management and opportunity cost of implementing and maintaining these complicated environments are driving new IT requirements. These new requirements include the daily management and review of business data exchange operations and transactions. A secure business data exchange environment must support auditability, automation, data processing, and data interchange protocols that facilitate secure transmission along with receipting and logging capabilities. While numerous vendors in the managed file transfer (MFT) space can transmit data via several protocols (some via expensive proprietary protocols), the ability to automate and log these transactions is limited.
