Efficiency Hack: Zipping Up Your Business ProcessesInternational Luxury Retailer and Globalscape Customer Chooses EFT Enterprise with High Availability

SUCCESS STORY

2 ®

The efficient, secure, and compliant management of sensitive and business-critical data can mean the difference between profitability and profit loss—no matter your industry! In this success story, we share an

“efficiency hack” that a Globalscape customer continues to enjoy to this day.

A U.S.-based retailer focused on luxury goods needed to manage sensitive employee data for its Human Resources (HR) department. Their HR and financial management application was cloud-based. Unfortunately, their existing managed file transfer (MFT) system did not integrate well with the application. The lack of integration led to constant outages, failed file transfers, and an increased amount of system inefficiencies within the company’s daily data exchange processes.

The company’s IT department also lacked visibility over the data exchange processes between their network and the cloud-based applications. This issue stifled the workflows and processes within each department. In turn, their IT team spent more time trying to identify problems within their existing processes. Due to the high data volume and complicated workflows, it was imperative that the company resolve the issues quickly so that they could reap the benefits associated with the business applications, along with improving the overall efficiency for the company.

SOLUTIONThe organization replaced their ineffective MFT system with EFT Enterprise to manage both sides of the secure file transfer process between the company, its cloud-based applications and throughout the different departments of the organization. To address the high volume and complex flow of data, EFT Enterprise was installed in high availability, “active-active” configuration to provide secure and reliable transfers with cloud-based applications. The newly integrated solution enhanced visibility over all data activity throughout the IT infrastructure, which included the movement of data from HR’s cloud-based application. With the highly available infrastructure and enhanced visibility, failed file transfer risks were minimal to none. Through the advanced automation system that comes with EFT Enterprise, the company set up automation features for its auditing and reporting processes to further enhance visibility over network activity, while also supporting the company’s stringent security and compliance guidelines.
