File Transfer Replacements and Migrations
If the time has come for your business to find a replacement for your legacy file transfer tool you're in the right place. Over more than two decades Pro2col have specialised in Managed File Transfer and we've successfully helped enterprise clients move to modern, compliant and high-perfoming solutions - without disrupting daily operations.
From initial assessment, product selection and needs mapping through to execution and support our MFT Migration and Replacement services are designed to make the transition seamless and risk-free.
Is It Time to Migrate your MFT Solution?
File Transfer Migration projects are significant investments, and it is vital that you've fully reviewed the options available with your existing file transfer tool before you embark on a time consuming (and potentially expensive) journey.
To help you do this, Pro2col have created the Enterprise Maturity Model for MFT. This framework helps you make the decisions about your file transfer tools.
The model allows you to plot the position of your existing file transfer tool against the wider market - reviewing features, capabilities and security requirements against your existing deployment.
Reviewing Alternative File Transfer Products
The file transfer market is a cluttered one. And every product out there claims to be the best, and appears to offer a dizzying array of features and functionality.
In our experience, the right file transfer tool will depend on your organisation and your specific use cases.
Pro2col regularly work with and support 15 different MFT products. More than any other consultancy in the world. We routinely review the market and provide unbiased reviews of the best file transfer tools out there.
Our technical team can help your make the right selection. We'll spend time with you understanding your existing tools and the problems you're facing.
Then we'll shortlist and demo a selection of tools based on your requirements and future needs.
Implementation and Migration
Getting your new file transfer tool up and running is where our technical expertise shines. Pro2col regularly migrate systems with thousands of workflows and processes in a fraction of the time you'd expect.
Throughout that process we're not just looking at simply moving your existing processes across - we'll also be looking to optimise them and improve them where we can. That'll reduce load on your system and tighten up your processes.
We're experts at migrating to and from a range of MFT tools including Axway, MOVEit, GoAnywhere, Globalscape EFT, Thru, Quatrix, Kiteworks, IBM Sterling and many more.
Why Businesses Choose to Replace their MFT System
Security and Compliance Issues
Better Integration with Existing Ecosystem
Increased Costs
As organisations grow, licensing models based on users, connections, or data volume can lead to ballooning costs. Replacing the MFT system may provide more predictable, scalable pricing, or lower total cost of ownership (TCO) that aligns better with future growth.
Vendor Support & Product Roadmap Concerns
A lack of vendor support may push organisations to switch to a more responsive provider with clear SLAs, active development roadmaps, and better customer service to ensure smoother operations and faster issue resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions
You should consider migrating your Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution when your current platform no longer meets your business’s evolving needs.
As mentioned earlier on this page, common reasons include security and compliance challenges, scalability costs, poor vendor support and roadmap concerns. However, there are several other factors that often prompt businesses to evaluate new MFT solutions. This includes limited workflow automation capabilities, the need for better visibility and reporting, inadequate support for cloud or hybrid environments, or if an MFT platform is approaching end-of-life.
A great place to start building a business case for migration is by using the Enterprise Maturity Model for MFT. This framework helps you benchmark your current infrastructure against industry standards, identify areas that require strategic investment, and ensure your technology aligns with your long-term business goals. Taking this structured approach will give you a clear picture of when and how to move forward with a migration. We also recommend checking out our blog on key considerations when migrating your MFT solution for further tips and guidance.
Choosing the right Managed File Transfer solution when migrating away from your current setup is a decision that requires careful consideration of your organisation's unique needs, security and compliance requirements, scalability, and integration capabilities.

Migrating your Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution, along with your workflows is often seen as a complex and risky process, but the good news is that with the right planning and support, it can be done without disrupting your day-to-day business operations.
At Pro2col, we offer our consultancy services where we start by getting to know your existing environment inside and out, understanding your workflows, security needs, and any potential challenges. From there, we work with you to carefully plan a tailored migration strategy that minimises risk and ensures everything keeps running smoothly.
Yes, we do. At Pro2col, support doesn’t stop once the migration is done. We offer a range of ongoing support services to suit your business needs, from ad-hoc consultancy to fully managed support packages. Whether you need technical assistance, ongoing system monitoring, performance optimisation, help building workflows or onboarding new users, our MFT specialists are here to support you as long as you need.
We also offer training packages to help your team get the most out of your MFT solution. This includes the Certified File Transfer Professional (CFTP) accreditation, the industry-recognised certification that validates expertise in secure file transfer. And if you're looking to take the pressure off your internal infrastructure, we can provide secure hosting services with CloudMFT, so we can manage and maintain your MFT environment on your behalf.
The Maturity Model for Managed File Transfer is a framework to help organisations understand where they currently stand with their Managed File Transfer (MFT) capabilities, and where they could be. By assessing your organisation against the MFT Maturity Model, you can identify strengths, gaps, and areas for improvement.
It’s especially helpful if you’re unsure whether you need a new solution, want to benchmark your current setup, or need to build a business case to present to your team.
