Secure File Transfer and Automation Software
The Smarter Way to Securely Move Data
MOVEit is a secure Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution from Progress Software that lets organisations safely transfer sensitive data between systems, partners, customers, and employees on-premise or in the cloud.
It combines security, compliance, and automation to give full control and visibility over file transfer processes. MOVEit uses encryption and detailed activity tracking to help meet standards like PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR.
By consolidating all file transfers into one platform, MOVEit reduces the risk of data loss, human error, and non-compliance. It replaces insecure methods like email or consumer file-sharing tools with a fully auditable, managed solution.
Key Capabilities:
- Manage Transfers: Centralise and control all file transfer activities.
- Automate Workflows: Streamline and eliminate manual errors without scripting
- Deploy Anywhere: Choose from On-Premise, IaaS, or SaaS options.
- Integrate Easily: Connect with other systems using Mulesoft Connector, REST, Java, or .NET APIs.
MOVEit guarantees reliable, compliant, and secure data exchange to keep your business moving safely and efficiently.
