[edit] Introduction
Managed file transfer (MFT) is a service or software that is utilised for managing secure data transfer from one computer to another via a network such as the internet. Managed file transfer software is marketed to software enterprises as a substitute to ad-hoc file transfer solutions such as HTTP and FTP. This is because MFT presents a greater level of control and security. MFT services are very fast for sharing even large volumes of data across all key open platforms. The file transfer platform servers utilised for MFT have a wide range of authentication and security options and no file may enter or leave without the approval of the server for carrying out the transmission. The file transfer platform servers can also automate the process of receiving and sending files.
[edit] Technology Advancement to Propel MFT Service Market
The increasing demand for a digital supply chain has resulted in enhanced security and an increase in data volume. This has resulted in big enterprises have adopting MFT solutions and services. This will boost the growth of the MFT service market in the coming years. However, the absence of awareness amongst end users particularly, in emerging regions such as Latin America and APEJ, may impede growth.
