The power behind data transfers that builds companies

March 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Managed File Transfer is the single best solution for utilities of all kinds to share information between their divisions, become more proactive with their workloads and offer their customers the best services and products to match their needs, usage and area specific problems.

Agility and Service
MFT creates one of the best forms of agility and service that any company can hope for – internal and external file sharing with security, support and a compete auditable trail that allows for the open sharing of crucial data with those that need it – from those that repair the systems in use to the client data that needs to be shared across billing, installation, and support.  This agility is down to the ability of MFT to share files with a stronger encryption and the ability to ensure that those accessing them are actually supposed to.

It removes the problems of losing billing data and compromising the security of client accounts, which is an essential element of any successful business’ ability to manage their customers without ring-fencing their data.  MFT can support this.

Three way that MFT can support Utilities
•   With the devolution and decentralisation of utilities in the UK, especially Water and Telephony services, it’s important for clients to trust that their data is both protected, and portable – being able to have a standardised metering system helps, which means MFT can support data transfer externally too – there’s no complex algorithms to support the sharing of data in an anonymous way, for sites such as price comparisons, and customer support ratings.  This is a huge step forward from the last few years, making utilities truly social and able to move with the times without having the additional burden of interfacing with numerous systems to participate.
•   MFT is designed for sharing – companies can share their data, about bad debts, problems with the system, unusual metering systems, older metering systems and more – and with MFT, customers can transfer between suppliers in a much more streamlined way – removing the worst problems and time delays that could have occurred in the past.  It also means that any issues that could have been raised can be resolved much faster.
•   MFT is OS independent – As most MFT systems are designed to interface with email, it can be considered to be OS independent, but its portability transgresses computer systems – the ability to integrate MFT with email makes it invaluable, and improves workflow in offices.

Utilities are ubiquitous
It’s crucial that when there’s nothing wrong with utilities that they are absolutely transparent.  MFT allows this to happen, giving the clients minimum interference for their billing, and supply.  And when things do go wrong, it’s critical that the data to put it right is available.  MFT can make this happen for your repair men.
