Telecom Provider

A leading wireless provider recently selected Proginet's CyberFusion Integration Suite™(CFI) to replace its existing mix of FTP, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), and legacy solutions. The main factor in the company's decision-making process was the need to standardize on a single solution for all of its file transfer needs. The company now uses CFI to send all files throughout the enterprise; files include financial data, human resource information, and billing and plan data for corporate and consumer contracts. All data is fully encrypted at all times, providing the company with the security it requires. CFI supports a wide variety of required open protocols including FTP, SFTP, FTPS, and AS2. Due to the prohibitive cost of their COTS solution, the company had been forced to deploy SFTP to send and receive files to literally hundreds of remote kiosks throughout their coverage network. CFI Platform Server is now replacing all instances of SFTP at the remote kiosks and all data transfers are encrypted and secure.. Transfer automation is another key component of the CFI kiosk deployments; transfers will be scheduled and orchestrated around key business processes. The data received from the kiosks consists of billing, new customer data, plan information, and kiosk sales. The company is also transmitting pricing, plan information, and miscellaneous sales data to the kiosks on a daily basis.

Challenges:

• A single solution for all internal and external file transfer needs
• Integrate with hundreds of business partners and remote kiosks
• Support for multiple platforms including, Windows, UNIX (AIX, Solaris), AS/400, Linux and the Mainframe)
• Sensitive data (full encryption required)
• Expansion and maintenance costs for the Sterling file transfer solution are too expensive

CFI Solution:

• The wireless provider uses CFI to transfer thousands of files securely, both internally and externally. CFI supports all required protocols including FTP, SFTP, FTP2 and AS2
• CFI supports extensive transfer automation, so that the company can easily push and pull information to and from business partners, vendors, and kiosks on a daily basis
• The wireless provider uses CFI’s built-in compression to improve performance and file transfer speeds. Compression is a standard feature on CFI and is included at no additional cost
• CFI enables data to be transferred easily across all platforms (Windows to the Mainframe). CFI Platform Server also integrates fully with a variety of scheduling tools including Control M
• Taking advantage of Proginet’s fixed-cost, enterprise licensing model, the wireless provider has been able to significantly reduce expansion and maintenance costs by migrating from their incumbent COTS and legacy file transfer solutions
