Virtually every size of business needs to integrate internal business applications or collaborate with trading partners and other entities through shared business processes. Both require the transfer of large amounts of file data between computer systems, internal or external to the enterprise.

Traditionally, companies whose file transfer infrastructure has evolved over time without a structured approach have adopted FTP or proprietary third party software as the file transfer mechanism and scripting as the glue to bind everything together. Businesses are now finding that they need Managed File Transfer to provide security, auditability and traceability of file transfers to satisfy regulatory compliance and security audits.

Data Interchange iMFT^® – Putting the ‘intelligent’ into MFT

Data Interchange iMFT^® addresses the challenges commonly experienced by businesses looking to take a structured, maintainable approach to file transfer and provide an infrastructure to support future growth. Typical challenges include:

• Security audits.
• Regulatory compliance.
• Secure and reliable file transfer.
• Exchanging large files.
• Eliminating scripting.

Data Interchange also understands the ever increasing demands from businesses for better integration capabilities and the shortcomings in competitive offerings. Integration of business processes and trading partners requires much more than the simple “point and squirt” file transfer approach of traditional MFT offerings. That’s why our iMFT^® solution breaks new ground by providing additional levels of intelligent functionality to solve business problems such as:

• Data transformation – convert  your data into different formats for integration with disparate systems
• File data content analysis and processing – intelligently route, transform and process data on actual data content

Our iMFT^® solution draws on our EPIC platform which uses cutting edge business process orchestration and data transformation technology to provide seamless integration of internal systems, business processes and trading partners in a high throughput environment.
