Lightwell provides cloud MFT services built on the IBM market-leading Managed File Transfer portfolio and extensive expertise with MFT solutions and hosting.
Why Consider Managed File Transfer
in the Cloud?
Challenges driving companies to consider moving MFT to the cloud include:
- Outdated infrastructure: Their current infrastructure is outdated and can’t adapt to demands
- Security and Risk Concerns: Security threats are greater than ever, and they don’t have the right capabilities in place to address requirements
- Rising costs of maintaining legacy file transfer applications
- Lack of expertise: Insufficient internal IT resources to keep up with current technologies and demand
- Inability to scale: File transfer technologies used today can’t scale to meet growth in file volume, SLA requirements, and business needs
What if you could have an experienced team you trust free you from these headaches? What if you could improve your agility and scalability to address the high growth in file transfer demands, while enjoying a predictable cost model?
