A Primer on Managed File Transfer

 

Recently, the editors of RetailEDI.com commented that, "Everyone should consider MFT for their company." But, few people understand what managed file transfer (MFT) is all about, how it works, and how to get started. Even worse, many retailers don't understand the pitfalls of not using MFT.


Files-In-Motion Affect The Supply Chain And More.
Retail businesses need to safely exchange high-value, high-volume files with customers or trading partners. Consider for a moment the types of files your company juggles: ACH transfers, EDI, XML, check images, PLM, employee data, and many others. The individuals, systems, and processes sending and receiving files are typically spread throughout the enterprise, and need to connect to a variety of destinations outside the organization. How they connect and exchange files is just as important as the "what" or "why”.

Managed File Transfer (MFT)

Tuesday, 23 March 2010 12:54 Jim Cantrell

It took me a while to figure out how Managed File Transfer (MFT) was going to provide benefit to companies.  My first take when I first saw the promotions was that all files are managed, so why do you need it?  I called Lori Folta from BIT (Business Integration Technology) to help me understand the process.  After a conversation with Lori, I have changed my outlook.  Everyone should consider MFT for their company (Retailer, Vendor and 3PLs alike).  As best as I can re-state it: MFT is a system which manages all the files your company sends and receives.  By ‘manage’ we mean increased visibility into security, provide complete audit, score carding monitoring and more.
