Businesses nowadays operate multiple data-related processes to accomplish their objectives in less time without compromising on the accuracy and quality of productivity. The driving force of a company aside from the internal resources is how effectively yet securely are they able to communicate with their customers, partners, etc.

The digital age has given organizations a plethora of data to process information from and accordingly develop products and services to appease the customers. This massive data processing involves constant communication throughout the department and between clients, partners, third-party vendors via file transfer.

Do you know how much data we create each day with our current pace?

2.5 quintillion bytes of data.

Do you think the traditional file transfer system will be able to efficiently manage the copious amount of data that is disposed on per minute basis?

While the data is not showing any sign of slowing down, these traditional systems do not have the capacity to handle the bulk information generated in this time and age. They consume a lot of time and require extensive labor work, which increases the probability of errors and delay in file processing.

Also, it is essential to emphasize the fact that as the data is growing exponentially, so are the security concerns surrounding it. Organization’s data contains sensitive information, which has the potential to jeopardize a business standing in the market, if it goes out by mistake or with intent, allowing the rival to take advantage of the leaked information.

Traditional file processing systems offer low data security, and it also doesn't uphold the transaction required in the database management system to ensure accuracy, integrity, and completeness during the file transfer.

In this cut-throat market scenario where every single piece of data shared and received has the power to change the course of action, having a potent communication channel for immediate and efficient file transfer is essential. A file transfer that is not only managed adequately and processes as required but also adheres to the security and compliance measures is the need of the hour for the organizations to grow without a hassle in the business landscape.

This is why an increasing number of businesses are opting for managed file transfer by VisualCron. Our MFT automation products and software provide a secure data transfer through the network, be it internal, external, or ad hoc data transfer.
