Managed file transfer (MFT) is a technology that provides the secure transfer of data in an efficient and a reliable manner. Unlike traditional file transfer tools, such as FTP and scripting, MFT core functionalities include the ability to secure files in transit and at rest, and reporting and auditing of file activity. I was delighted when Forrester’s Ken Vollmer published his “Market Overview: Managed File Transfer Solutions,” to help fill the space that Gartner vacated when it elected to drop the Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer.

Thru, Inc in Latest Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer (MFT) Report Thru, Inc positioned among 45 vendors in the MFT segment Irving, Texas, September 19, 2009 – Gartner, Inc., the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company, announced their latest Magic Quadrant for this week. The Magic Quadrant (MQ) evaluates vendors based on completeness of vision and ability to execute – using 15 weighted criteria based on relative strengths in the market.

According to the report there has been an explosion of interest in the MFT solutions market. Large file transport and collaboration around files is increasingly part of the normal business workflow, and has caused a shift from use of traditional email and FTP. Governance and security issues come into play, especially where file collaboration is involved. As a result, enterprise knowledge workers must respond to these challenges, in many cases looking to MFT providers. “We believe that we’ve tapped into something all business users need” according to Thru, Inc CEO, Lee Harrison. “Certified, reliable file transfer and cloud-based file management is clearly where the market is heading, but we’re already looking ahead.

Thru has developed intelligence-gathering tools which will make file transfer and management much more useful by bringing actionable business intelligence into the regular workflow. That’s where we’re focusing product development. We are very appreciative for the recognition.” Gartner also reported: “As in any market with growing visibility, we have seen the entrance of major vendors.” This has propelled MFT market visibility, and forced providers to respond to the challenge, or bow out.
