Are you the conqueror of your IT department? Are you looking for a challenge to knock off your to do list? Well look no farther than the file transfers that go on in your organization and become the hero. Chances are that you’ll run into one of these issues:
- There is no efficient and repeatable process for enabling new external file transfers with business partners or clients
- There are too many file transfer solutions in your organization all doing the same job
- Your users frequently develop the need to send large files at unpredictable times
- Automating file transfers in scripts and applications is complex and time-consuming
Here is how FileXpress, Attachmate’s managed file transfer solution, can help you be a conqueror, driving security, efficiency and cost-effectiveness into the internal and external data movement performed by your organization every day.
6 Ways that FileXpress technology helps you be a Conqueror
FileXpress helps you:
- Build a repeatable process:
- Consolidate file transfer solutions:
- Empower your users and reduce the burden on IT:
- Enable your developers and systems administrators:
- Simplify automation:
- Quickly discover problems:
Don’t reinvent the wheel every time that a business team comes to you and asks for the ability to transfer files outside of the company. FileXpress provides the ability to securely exchange files over the Internet with business partners and customers, while supporting a consistent, reusable, and efficient process for provisioning and file routing.
Take a look at how many file transfer solutions your organization has acquired over the years. For each solution, that’s one set of products to learn, one set of troubleshooting tools to figure out, one scripting language to familiarize yourself with, one vendor relationship to maintain…and so on. Attachmate FileXpress offers the functionality, data security, scalability, and breadth of platform support to allow you to consolidate multiple disparate file transfer solutions into one.
When your users suddenly develop the need to send a large file to someone else, inside or outside of the organization, do they have to come to you? Do email attachment size limits or inbox space limitations drive up the number of IT helpdesk calls? With FileXpress, users can securely send files of any size to other users, when they need to, without filling up their email storage space. This means that you get to step out of that loop, and users still get their jobs done. You both win.
File transfer is such a foundational activity. Your developers and system administrators therefore, should have access to powerful file transfer services that deliver reliability, security and supportability. FileXpress provides the file transfer APIs that developers and scripters need to automate file transfers.
Implementing traditional file transfer technologies well is complex. Key capabilities such as error alerting, event-driven automation, and triggering on a successful transfer all have to be scripted or developed outside of the file transfer APIs. FileXpress builds these capabilities right into the file transfer definitions so that developers and sys admins don’t have to write and maintain those important functions themselves. You get to offer your valuable development staff tools that save them time and improve reliability and supportability.
The need to effectively resolve problems spans all file transfer use cases. Whether a file transfer is run via a job scheduler, called within a custom application, or executed manually by a user at their desk, when a problem occurs, someone needs to hear about it before it becomes a bigger problem. When a problem arises, FileXpress alerts you of the error, and records the details necessary to identify the source of the problem and resolve it. As a result, you discover problems before your customers, and have the information you need to solve them quickly.
It’s your grit and determination that helps you conquer the challenges each day brings…but it doesn’t hurt to have some useful tools in your utility belt. Take a deeper look at how FileXpress helps you go about your daily conquest and can make you the hero.
