With an increasing amount of market fragmentation and a shift towards self-service, the flow of data between utilities suppliers and resellers is becoming increasingly complex.

With clients that include Thames Water, Eirgrid and Cadent Gas, we’re accustomed to helping our utilities clients find the best way to use MFT to ingress data into their business, securely transfer it between applications, and transform and dispatch it to other applications for secure processing and storage.

MFT helps utilities companies to onboard customers and partner organisations quickly and easily with out-of-the-box connectivity between different applications and disparate protocols.

Once onboarded, MFT platforms can act as a server or client to facilitate the secure ingress or egress of data, supporting the increasing trend towards self-service for utilities users.

With configurable encryption, SSL certificates and keys, MFT helps our utilities clients to secure their data as it flows within their network and beyond the firewall to partner organisations, enabling utilities organisations to comply with regulations such as PCI DSS, GDPR, SOX and CCPA when transferring via HTTP and HTTPS, FTPS and SFTP.   

Built-in reporting tools are available to enable users and administrators to identify failed transfers of data into or out of these systems. Understanding where transfers have failed, or SLAs have been breached, enables utilities companies to act to ensure that essential data is delivered before it causes a problem.
