Auditing and reporting are key drivers for many organisations making the switch to an MFT platform.

Visibility is essential to understanding what’s happening to your data and making sense of data exchanges and transfers. With thousands of transfers a day, it can be difficult to get complete visibility of critical information like the number of transfers, where they came from, where they went to, and whether they were successful.

It’s essential to understand whether the system that feeds information to the payroll software sent the correct data to the correct place, or whether there are likely to be delays in the payment of staff. You need to know whether stock levels were fed along your supply chain to ensure your delivery arrives at your factory when you need it, or whether the transfer failed.

MFT auditing and reporting displays data on exchanges and file transfers through engaging dashboards and pre-built reports, showing users the status of their transfers at a single glance.

It isn’t just about looking pretty, though. With clear visibility you can ensure that your systems are up to the job and are working together to do their job, so you and your colleagues can continue to do yours. You can determine whether they have the capacity to meet demand spikes and whether there are holes in the network caused by redundant systems and protocols.
