Axway On-Demand Webinars

To better compete in today’s global economy, organisations must be able to respond more quickly to changing customer demand. Leading organisations increasingly rely on a complex value network of trading partners to help accelerate product design, manufacturing and fulfillment. In addition, new cloud based deployment models create an opportunity for trading partners to collaborate more effectively than ever. As a result, many critical supply chain processes are being extended across that network of trading partners, creating a significant change to a company’s B2B infrastructure.

This webcast will explore the business challenges presented by today’s global supply chains, how companies are using new network based deployment models to increase their effectiveness, and the best practices from leading companies who are creating demand driven value networks.

Join Gartner Managing Vice President, Dennis Gaughan, along with Con-way Inc.’s John Reich, as they explore best practices around these critical business issues.

Healthcare reform depends on Health Information Exchange (HIE) and the technology to support it. The benefits in cost savings and improved healthcare delivery are well known, and major medical institutions are building the infrastructure to deliver secure, efficient and auditable systems. Anakam’s Dr. “Bill” Braithwaite discusses how you can centrally safeguard and monitor file transfers while exchanging sensitive health and billing data across your partner community and business ecosystem — and protect your legacy investments while preparing for future regulatory requirements.

Is the movement of large, confidential files putting your organization at risk? If your employees are leaving their enterprise email to use free FTP sites, personal webmail and physical media to send large files, the answer is likely YES… and a recent industry study shows you are not alone. This Osterman Research report finds that, faced with email file size limits, a growing percentage of employees are using unsecured and off-the-radar means for transmitting files that are often sensitive and proprietary. The resulting lack of security and tracking capabilities puts organizations at risk. In this webinar, Michael Osterman discusses in detail the problems with ad hoc file transfer and how the right managed file transfer solution can solve them.

With huge data breaches in the news practically every day serving as reminders of the importance of securing data, in addition to demands of federal and state regulations requiring data protection, file transfer security is more important than ever. Managed file transfer (MFT) can provide security, flexibility, easier manageability of users and of data transfer within large ecosystems. Technology expert Dave Butcher discusses managed file transfer, what it is, how it works, and how organizations can benefit from the technology to get a competitive edge.
