Managed file transfer (MFT) is a hot topic for CIOs and CTOs right now. The evolution of technology is making it easier for organizations to do business anytime and anywhere around the world. However, along with this luxury comes the challenge for businesses to confidently exchange sensitive data over public networks. Whether it’s a sensitive legal document or financial transaction, the need for reliable, secure file transfer solutions is becoming a top concern. In 2008 Gartner Research estimated that the managed file transfer market was growing at a rate of 26 percent a year, making it a $450 million dollar business.
We’ve been working closely with one of our clients, Attachmate, a leading provider of solutions to boost end-user productivity and improve business processes, to help raise awareness around the MFT market and educate organizations on what to look for when evaluating MFT solutions.
As a result of our proactive outreach, Attachmate was recently interviewed by IT Jungle about trends in the MFT market and which features and functionalities organizations should consider when evaluating MFT software solutions. Stemming from the interview, Editor Alex Woodie published an article on September 1 entitled, “Managed File Transfer: A New Product Category That’s Here to Stay.”
If your organization is considering deploying a MFT solution, we hope you will keep this information in mind. To learn more about Attachmate visit www.Attachmate.com
