Managed File Transfer for Public Transport Networks

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 8, 2011 -- On the busses: Running a smooth transport system

Transport relies on several things – a solid timetable that is also flexible enough to cope with problems such as delays, and a management system that is easy to understand, extend and duplicate, while connecting up to other businesses, franchises or cities with ease. Using a system such as MFT can help you achieve this with ease.
The transport must have

One of the biggest ‘must haves’ when dealing with transport of any kind, from busses to planes, trains and beyond is the ability to schedule, and book or track resources. Financial support is a close second, along with solid security and transparency. All of these are of vital importance for transport systems, allowing them to leverage everything from decentralised resources to grants provided by local authorities for fulfilling transport needs.

Managed File Transfer can help support this, by allowing transport companies to create manifestos while ensuring that they can leverage their resources easily. Whatever the system chosen, with expert support, the integration can be both seamless and increase productivity – a range of solutions are available to most businesses that allow them to ensure they have an easily tailored, easy to support system that works with them, not against them.

From small to large

From small, independent businesses, to large multi-national companies operating everything from tiny tours, to a massive transport empire, MFT can support and scale with any business without stifling or pulling down the business itself. MFT is designed to be transparent, but offers a lot of features including:

Compliance support – Understanding and logging the usage of your files is a massive part of the security of MFT, and allows you to track both use and automate some of the more basic tasks you need to support. Whether this is uploading or downloading a real-time CSV of ticket sales, or ensuring that your head office gets the sales records, MFT can back you, and support in the monitoring of any system.

Automation support – whether you need to send a file daily, weekly or monthly, MFT can do that, taking some of the more mundane tasks off your hands. In many cases it won’t even require extra scripting and should be part of the user friendly interface.
Security – aside from logging, MFT supports encryption and decryption, while allowing people effortless access to files, if they need it. This granular control is important for both logging and control.

Transporting files without roadblocks

One of the more innovative features of MFT is that it takes the pressure off email and automatically automates the upload and link insertion into email of attachments. This, in turn, means that email downloads effortlessly, without creating pressure on internal or external systems. Files can also be set up to expire after a certain length of time, further protecting resources and the security of the system.
