Automated file transfer processes can be difficult to manage and time consuming through alternative methods, like scripting. With an enterprise workflow management solution, automation simplifies and streamlines file based tasks, which means reducing the workload burden on IT teams. Whether you’re automating two or 200 processes, MFT solutions provide a centralized platform so you retain full visibility. From batch file processing, FTP transfers, database queries, error monitoring, and data aggregation from different systems – manual file transfer processes are tedious and time consuming to accomplish. Automated file transfer enables an organization to better manage a large volume of tasks and end points.
Workflow automation with MFT provides an added layer of security and compliance benefits, including the expiration of data access, purging old data and records, and purging of inactive accounts, which can all occur automatically according to security policies and without human intervention.
Automated file transfer processes through MFT solve the following:
- Lack of Control and Visibility
- Human Error
- A Lack of Transparency
- Repetitive and Inaccurate Manual Processes
- High Volume of Data Transfers
- Less Secure Legacy FTP Scripts
