Demand for “operational excellence”

4

An ongoing evolution and adaptation of systems and processes that results in reduced cost and waste without negatively impacting time to market, quality of delivery, and cost of services or products.

Delivering as promised to customers (both

businesses and consumers) and keeping

costs under control.

Continual collaboration and process improvement.

Traditional Methods of FTP centered Home Grown solutions alone is not the viable option to achieve this…


What’s blocking you from achieving operational excellence in your practice?

5

Auditability Are your file transfers auditable? ~OR~ Do you have difficulty in proving compliance to

business and regulatory audit requirements with a high degree of confidence and a low resource expenditure?

Monitoring Can you easily answer questions about file transfer volumes, success rates, and file

transfer status? ~OR~ Are you unable to provide, or track, file transfer SLAs or chargeback metrics for Lines

of Business (LOB) or customers?

Management Are you able to roll out file transfer services to new LOBs or customers when

requested? ~OR~ Are you missing an easy way to manage growth in a way that balances business

requirements, cost controls, and accelerating deployment times?

Simple usecase : Upload file using myFilegateway and deliver using FTP SSL Very simple scenario - partner has no access to FTP/SFTP client software so uses a

browser to upload the file

Internally the file is transferred to an FTP SSL server

No additional processing – upload file through MyFG and deliver using FTP SSL
