Bank's Implementation of Managed File Transfer (MFT) Solution:
A GIS/IBM Sterling B2B Integrator Success Story
THE COMPANY:
A large Bank in need of new Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution to
securely manage large volumes of data while replacing multiple
legacy applications.
THE CHALLENGE :
- Provide a unified platform for Managed File Transfer.
- Replacement system must accommodate changes to internal systems
and increased demands for information regarding file transfers.
- Must provide web interfaces for both internal and external
customers to manage day-to-day questions, without losing any of the
needed protocols.
- Limited or no impact to external trading partners.
THE SOLUTION:
Oxford architected a solution using IBM Sterling Commerce’s Gentran
Integration Suite (GIS)/IBM Sterling B2B Integrator as the base platform for the MFT solution. GIS/IBM Sterling B2B Integrator
replaced three legacy file transfer products across three business
areas. By leveraging GIS/IBM Sterling B2B Integrator adapters, and configuring components within the
DMZ, integrated monitoring now makes it possible to achieve complete
data and transaction visibility through out the entire organization. By
consolidating processes, a single group is now responsible for
maintaining the solution, rather than the three previously required;
eliminating redundancy and creating efficiency throughout.
THE RESULTS:
- Singe point of integration to internal systems and external
trading partners.
- One monitoring solution to track the transmissions throughout
the process, populating a secure web accessible view of the
transmissions.
- Greatly reduced customer service inquiries.
- Elimination of weeks of lost time internally searching for
missing files.
- Redirection of two teams of company resources for new projects.
- Load balancing of data transfers.
- Data readily available for trend analysis.
- Reduction of hardware and software costs necessary to maintain
solution.
