Support service infrastructure migrations, consolidations, and upgrades to converge to DevOps The cost, complexity, time and negative customer impact of rationalizing, consolidating and upgrading legacy file transfer can be attributed to the following: • Lack of automation (manual effort, prone to errors) • No reusable templates for provisioning flows, partners, configuration items • Lagging behind DevOps-ready Digital MFT Service catalog • Proprietary interfaces that make it difficult to extend services to support all business cases The Digital MFT Shared Service is API enabled and can automate many of the steps that are manual and error prone today. For example, with APIs it is possible to retrieve configuration snapshots from DEV, promote to TEST, and then to PROD, eliminating the redundant manual efforts reducing cost and errors associated with human error. This same type of automation benefits can be realized for complete MFT environmental changes: migrations, upgrades, rationalization and consolidation. The complexity of the existing deployment will determine the extent to which these processes can be automated. In the same perspective, a legacy gateway on-premise can be replaced by a state-of-the-art gateway running in the cloud that will bring additional features and benefits: • Available as a service • 24*7, highly scalable and secure MFT capabilities • JMS capabilities "Web Service/SOAP/REST/JMS" services • XML/XSLT transformation Service CoE B2B B2B API Operational efficiency Legacy MFT rationalization Customer Service Representative App Developer Applications Partners MFT Ops for Axway MFT Faster access to transmission status through a single interface Unique and homogeneous process to define new business transmissions Better control on MFT design and runtime from a central cockpit Flow model internal & external MFT Optimized operations staff and skills when transitioning Legacy MFT to corporate solution MFT Ops for Legacy A2A MFT Ops for Legacy B2B MFT Service Desk Define & Develop Roadmap Management Axway Vendors Service Support & Knowledge Sharing Measure Quality & Cost
