Recommendations • Governance for midsize to large MFT deployments.
• Look for a combination of proprietary & open source…• Point solutions when speed of deployment is key.
- standards, policies, architectures, consider strategic…. • Ad hoc Outlook & Lotus Notes plugins…

File Transfer Challenges and Patterns
The File Transfer Challenge
Complex data routing requirements
Decentralized administration and maintenance
Constantly modifying script (adds/changes/deletes)
Resource intensive to add applications and user interfaces

Problems:• Compliance & audit concerns• Data “black holes”• Limited reporting• Change management issues• No centralized control• No centralized visibility• Process breakdowns• Administrative burdens• Batch orientation• Security• Encryption• Authentication• Data at rest

Application Integration Pattern
• Internal File Movement Between Systems– Peer-to-Peer / File Bus– Hub and Spoke
• Automated and Process Driven• Centralized Governance• Multi-Platform Considerations
Do you have visibility to the data? (i.e., more than system monitoring)
Are your internal systems secured?(at a minimum no FTP)
Multi-Site Integration Pattern
• File movement between systems across sites (hub/spoke or peer to peer)
• Centralized governance and site management
• Automated and process driven• Broadcast/Collect• Multi-platform considerations
Deploy and manage multiple connections (efficiently)

Business to Business (B2B) Pattern
• Connecting with other organizations– Standards driven– Context aware
• Community and partner lifecycle management are essential
• Automated and process driven• Flexible security• Often requires data services
– Validation– Transformation– Routing

Portal File Services Pattern
• Connecting the human web experience and MFT
• Web portal exposing a business service• User access and management (LDAP/AD,
SSO, On-boarding)
• Transparent integration with end user workflow and backend systems
More than ease of use(secure and efficient file exchange beyond the portal)
Seamless and complete integration(no hops, batching, or queuing)

Ad-Hoc File Transfer Pattern• Unplanned processes between humans• Two models
– Repository based (persistence for sharing)– Recipient based (targeted to individual or group)
• User access and management– LDAP/AD– SSO– On-boarding
• Policy based control of file access and transfer
Can you audit and govern H2S/H2H exchange?(managing the humans is a must!)
Define security up front and stand your ground

MFT Best Practices
Managing Your File Transfer Patterns
• Scope out growth and complexity of data framework– Define and prioritize critical ‘exchange relationships’– S2S, B2B, A2A, P2P, B2P, B2C, etc.
• Quantify and qualify data content relationships– Outline support for business types, groups, or departments– Update compliance to standards and regulations
• Account for risk factors– Consider both external and internal security event paths– Identify the risk types (data loss, intellectual property theft, data privacy
breach, compliance violations, etc.)
• Set realistic coverage objectives– What level?– How comprehensive or complex?

Very difficult to know:
- what is connected to what
- which files go where or why
- how to fix things when they break
- how to assess changes
