Overview While secure FTP solutions enable good point-to-point delivery of files, they are no longer sufficient to support the growing number of business processes that rely on electronic file transfers. A best-in-class File Transfer Management solution must successfully integrate data encryption (e.g., OpenPGP), secure file transfer (e.g., SFTP/SSH or FTPS/SSL), and B2B workflow management; fit with your IT infrastructure and the IT infrastructures of your partners; and, scale to handle additional trading partners and higher file transfer volumes. As the white paper explains, File Transfer Management solutions contain four components: (1) secure file transfer surrounded by (2) B2B workflow management and supporting (3) open interoperability and (4) scalability. The white paper concludes with an evaluation checklist that you can use to compare features of File Transfer Management products.
