 The MFT Migration Process

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I consider migrating my MFT solution?

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.

 

How do I choose the right MFT solution to migrate to?

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.

With so many Managed File Transfer solutions out there, it can be hard to know which one’s right for your business. The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer and the best choice depends entirely on your unique use case.

To help you navigate the options, check out our MFT Tools page which offers a comprehensive overview of the leading MFT solutions on the market. If you’re exploring cloud-based platforms, we’ve also got a dedicated Cloud File Transfer Tools page that focuses specifically on those solutions and what they offer.

If you’re not quite sure where to start, we’ve made it even easier with our MFT Comparison Quiz. Of course, if you'd rather talk it through, don’t hesitate to give us a call. Our experts has helped hundreds of organisations find and implement the right MFT solution.

 

Can I migrate MFT workflows without disrupting business operations?

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.

Do you offer support after the MFT migration is complete?

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.

 

What is the MFT Maturity Model, and how can it help us?

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.
