Bank's Implementation of MFT Solution
A GIS/Sterling Integrator Success Story

THE COMPANY:

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 MFT.
• 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 Sterling Commerce’s Gentran Integration Suite (GIS)/Sterling Integrator as the base platform for the MFT solution. GIS/Sterling Integrator replaced three legacy file transfer products across three business areas. By leveraging GIS/Sterling 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.
