Migrate, modernize, scale, and secure your MFT operations
More than half of all enterprises have now migrated or started to migrate their managed file transfer (MFT) operations to the cloud. For organizations across industries, there’s no going back to huge investments in on-premises hardware, constant exposure to security risks, and rigid, outdated IT architectures that limit how, where, and on what scale they do business.
Winning companies are moving ahead on the strength of cloud benefits such as improved reliability and service delivery, enhanced security, dramatic reductions in capital and operating costs, better access to expertise, and greater scalability, agility, and resilience.
Managed cloud services amplify these benefits, combining the power of a cloud platform with the specialized business and technical expertise of a dedicated management and support team.
As they embrace the cloud, companies are looking for technology and service provider partners with deep, proven expertise in cloud adoption, integration, service delivery, and security. When elite partners meet this description and work together closely, they produce powerful synergy and deliver even greater value.

multiple Availability Zones (AZs) for 99.99 percent uptime, ensuring that critical file transfers are completed and SLAs met. Gain the resilience you need to respond to business process changes and disruptive outside events. - Enhanced security. Axway secure file transfer software provides security in the cloud, protecting files with advanced encryption, secure protocols, and access controls at all times, anywhere, including your on-premises legacy workloads.

Cloud file transfer in action: high-value files never sleep
Axway enables customers in the AWS cloud across various industries. Some of these use cases include:
- Manufacturing, retail and logistics. Axway and AWS enable timely file transfers between suppliers, manufacturers, and retailers for efficient supply chain and inventory management.
- Healthcare. Axway moves large medical images and patient records between hospitals, clinics, and insurance companies. Of course, patient privacy is key, which is why Axway solutions are fully HIPAA-compliant.
- Banking and finance. Axway enables the secure transfer of large financial data files (such as
transaction records) between banks, investment firms, and government regulators. - Engineering and construction. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) files are critical in project design, collaboration, and execution, but they are also very data-heavy. Thanks to Axway, even the largest CAD files are transferred safely, reliably, and in compliance with industry regulations. For example, the Textron network of companies spanning aerospace and other industries trusts Axway MFT in the cloud.
- Public sector. File transfer is a critical part of many of today’s digital citizen initiatives; for example, Germany’s federal employment agency, Bundesagentur für Arbeit (BA), securely distributes some 150B euros in benefits annually to German citizens.
- Energy and utilities. Axway helps make sure the right energy data flows securely, in real time, to the right people — ensuring better decision-making, faster responses to issues, support for
energy savings and sustainability initiatives, and overall improved grid performance.
