The Challenge

The asset management firm was using multiple B2B file transfer solutions. It sought a way to consolidate these into a single managed solution. The goal was to enable self-service, increase observability to determine the status of files, implement malware scanning, and increase encryption. Synechron was engaged for the consolidation project and to develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) using AWS Cloud-native services to demonstrate its business value.

The Solution

Synechron's solution was to develop an MVP demonstrating the value of a fully Cloud-native B2B file transfer solution that would effectively scan incoming files for malware using ClamAV, encrypt and decrypt files using PGP, and securely enable the asset manager to both push and pull files to and from third-party Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) servers, thereby ensuing SFTP servers are not exposed. Synechron also developed highly informative dashboards which central IT and critical business stakeholders can use for obtaining complete visibility of both incoming and outgoing files. To reduce the load for the core support team, Synechron further developed a self-service API for easy creation of B2B transfers.

The Results

New transfer onboarding reduced from 5 days to 5 minutes

99% of infected files caught before internal distribution

File upload time reduced by an average of 60%
