The global economic landscape can be described by one word: “uncertain”. Lingering effects from the 2020 pandemic, combined with new waves of international tariffs throughout 2025, have created a climate of depressed economies and intensified competition. In response, most enterprise organizations are tightening their belts and scrutinizing every expenditure to weather this prolonged period of global instability. However, this approach isn't limited to enterprises; software vendors, too, are feeling the pinch. Often, the first area to see cutbacks or a decrease in quality is in customer support, particularly support channels, availability, quality and crucially, turnaround times and service-level agreements (SLAs). For critical infrastructure like managed file transfer (MFT), this quantity-over-quality approach to support can lead to significant inefficiencies and costly downtime for enterprise organizations already struggling.

Break free from costly vendor lock-in Let's be blunt: some MFT vendors have built product suites that are less about true partnership and more about proprietary siloing. Their solutions are often designed to work exclusively with one another, effectively pushing organizations away from integrating their existing technologies, instead of building on those past investments. Enterprises are forced into adopting an entire suite of micro-solutions to achieve true enterprise file transfer, such as needing to purchase separate products for gateways (reverse proxy servers), large file sharing and even centralized administration.

For enterprise organizations relying on managed file transfer (MFT) solutions, cybersecurity often feels like an arms race. The need to patch MFT software vulnerabilities to prevent breaches or ransomware clashes with the operational disruption that those updates can cause, creating a dilemma between staying available for business or staying secure. Recent years have highlighted this pain point for MFT users, with several vendors experiencing ransomware and recurring high or critical software vulnerabilities in their solutions, creating more opportunities for threat actors to exploit their customers.

The costs of unpredictable MFT solutions Today's economic landscape is marked by significant instability, which creates a challenging environment for businesses, particularly large enterprises. The ongoing uncertainty, driven by factors like fluctuating tariffs and disruptions to global supply chains, makes it difficult for organizations to operate with confidence. In some ways, an uncertain economy can be more challenging to navigate than a weak one. Organizations cannot plan for everything, but they must still operate efficiently and profitably. This is an impossible task when variables change daily or weekly.

Global enterprises today are navigating a landscape marked by significant economic volatility. Fluctuating markets, shifting trade policies and persistent economic uncertainty are compelling enterprise organizations to reevaluate spending and prioritize operational efficiency. In these challenging conditions, revisiting even seemingly stable systems, such as managed file transfer (MFT), can be a strategic step toward uncovering improved efficiency.

What is SFTP? SFTP is a file transfer protocol that’s normally packaged with Secure Shell (SSH), the network protocol most IT administrators use to access and manage remote Linux, UNIX and macOS machines in a secure manner. Most of these systems already have built-in support for OpenSSH, an open source implementation of SSH. Even later versions of Windows Server support OpenSSH.

Many large companies with high-volume transactions, especially those involved in e-commerce, manufacturing and retail supply chains, have long migrated from manual processes to Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). EDI, which enables the automated exchange of business documents in a standard format, has significantly improved the accuracy, efficiency and timeliness of business processes.
