Evolving to Mission Critical Thursday 21 July 2016

When BP began to deploy IntraNect XL our System wasn't in the center of attention. Now it is! Why?


Compliance with latest Security Policy Thursday 21 January 2016

In today's connected world Data is supposed to be available everywhere and in every format. Connecting Partners in your value chain is essential. This however requires a solid reliable middleware, which orchestrates the file-transfer in a secure way.

BP is using since many years IntraNect MFT to connect and interact with 3rd Parties. They have decided to retire many homegrown and script-based solutions.

IntraNect MFT Wednesday 17 July 2013

IntraNect provides an out-of-the-box secure managed data transfer solution for complex environments where conversion of the data is typically handled by a variety of home-grown applications.

In every organisation the landscape of head office and branche systems or partner systems is continuously evolving and changing. Often there were initially just a few systems to connect, and “home-grown” file transfer systems would be developed by local staff. These file transfer systems were very often “quick and dirty” solutions based around the Internet standard File Transfer Protocol “FTP” together with a collection of locally developed scripts.
With the number and complexity of the interfaces within the organisation increasing, subsequent changes and maintenance of those home-grown scripts often incur a significant cost and time or prove to be difficult to implement, with the original developers of the scripts having moved on within the organisation.
And all of the time, technology continues to advance.
Home-grown solutions offer no strategy to take advantage of new technological developments.

IntraNect provides an out of the Box Managed File Transfer system that provides all of the functionality described above – and more.
ERST is a specialist in the area of data transfer applications, continually incorporating this know-how into the core Intranect product. This in-depth data transfer expertise turns Intranect into an outstanding product.
