Manufacturing organizations exchange large and/or confidential files with their customers, suppliers, constituents, or business partners. While many use email or FTP for some forms of file transfer, security concerns surrounding the public Internet prevent many from using these methods to send or receive sensitive information, such as product plans or intellectual property.

As an alternative, some choose to send files by traditional mail or messenger services on physical media such as CD or hard drive, which are vulnerable to loss or theft. Others send files electronically via expensive proprietary EDI mechanisms, value-added networks, leased lines, or other dedicated connections.

In most organizations today, individual users or business units are responsible for managing their own file transfers, resulting in a lack of visibility into what information is leaving the enterprise and who ultimately has access to it.

To protect against security breaches, information interception, and legal liabilities, Flowing Content™ provides cost effective Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions that:

• ensure that sensitive data is protected at all times during transmission and after reception
• guarantee that data access is controlled and fully reported
• integrate, consolidate, secure existing file transfer processes within a centralized web administration.
