Consolidating Multiple B2B File Transfer Solutions Using Cloud-Native Services

An asset management client was using multiple B2B file transfer solutions – and it was looking for 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 to consolidate and develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) using AWS Cloud-native services to demonstrate its business value.

We developed an MVP for a fully cloud-native B2B file transfer solution that effectively scans incoming files for malware, encrypts and decrypts files, and securely enables the asset manager to push and pull files to and from third-party secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) servers. We also built dashboards that central IT and critical business stakeholders can use for total visibility of both incoming and outgoing files. And to reduce the load for the core support team, we developed a self-service API for easy creation of B2B transfers.
