Most of the time, organizations use the same file transfer process to share information. But occasionally there is a one-time transfer need—for example, one that involves providing access to a specific file or enabling exchanges with a specific customer. The problem is that setting up ad-hoc transfers usually takes more time than you have.
FileXpress Solution: Easily Set Up, Use, and Lose Your Ad-Hoc Transfers
Before discovering FileXpress, a large housing association spent hours working with shell scripts and adjusting firewalls to make ad-hoc transfers possible. Even after transfers were complete, the applications support team spent hours cleaning up. Removing all applicable user permissions and restoring standard operations was just as time consuming as setting up the transfer in the first place.
With FileXpress, ad-hoc transfers can be configured quickly and easily—both for automated transfers at regular intervals throughout the day or for occasional transfers. Built-in capabilities handle:
- Event-driven transfers via hot folders, file integrity checks, and automatic retries.
- Post-transfer processing of files.
- Detailed auditing and reporting.
Since implementing FileXpress, the housing association is better able to share sensitive data with partners in any industry, without being deterred by the prospect of complex ad-hoc transfer configuration. The association also feels freer to work with new partners on a temporary basis.
