Axway introduces File Transfer Direct: Ad Hoc File Exchange Made Simple and Secure

Axway has long been recognized as a leader for managed file transfer (MFT) by Gartner. The Axway MFT platform secures, governs and automates system to system file transfer processes over standard protocols to ensure compliance with industry regulations and enterprise policies.

Axway has extended this platform to create the industry leading solution for ad hoc file transfer. Axway’s File Transfer Direct:

• Integrates with Outlook or Notes desktop client
• Offloads all large files from your overburden email environment via policy
• Ensures governance and audit compliance
• Folder sharing and virtual communities
• Secures the files based on policy
• File delivery confirmation via email receipt
• Virus and DLP scanning
• LDAP integration
• Private cloud or on premise implementation

Standard email was never meant for exchanging large, sensitive files. Still, chances are that your employees use email for ad hoc communication anyway because they might think it’s faster and easier than using a secure channel. This widespread practice can put your company at risk for disastrous data breaches and costly compliance violations.

Axway File Transfer Direct brings enterprise-class managed file transfer (MFT) capabilities to familiar email interfaces and web-based clients. Axway File Transfer Direct transparently applies administrator-defined policies while adding the security and audit capabilities required for corporate governance and regulatory compliance.
