“MFT is an essential part of any integration initiative. While many companies focus solely on managing messages, which is important, most neglect to manage the bulk of data represented in files that are moving between applications. While it’s important to get the plumbing right, it is even more important to achieve visibility, process and workflow management, and monitoring across the entire lifecycle of the file transfer. As modernization and cost optimization become crucial challenges, process identification, simulation and re-engineering are fast becoming more than niceties – they are becoming necessities.”
- Frank Kenney, Research Director, Gartner, Inc.
