Leading Analyst Firm Positions Axway in Leaders Quadrant for Managed File Transfer

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.- Axway today announced that Gartner, Inc. has positioned Axway in the "Leaders" quadrant of its Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer.¹

The Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer (MFT), written by L. Frank Kenney and James Lennard, states, "Companies should consider managed file transfer (MFT) suite vendors that meet their tactical and strategic needs. It's all too easy to act reactively and deploy technology that only supports one protocol or security standard; it's much more prudent to deploy a product that can be easily expanded and upgraded to handle multiple protocols and multiple standards in a well-managed way that's fully auditable."

Through its MFT solution, Synchrony™ Managed File Transfer, Axway is meeting its customers’ tactical and strategic needs for a comprehensive secure, reliable and service-oriented file transfer infrastructure. Axway’s MFT solution covers a wide scope of needs, helping its customers consolidate and optimize disparate data exchanges internally and with trading partners, despite diverse technologies and platforms. Through the high-performance Synchrony framework’s service-based approach, Synchrony MFT can be coupled with rich enterprise visibility, business process management and event management capabilities.

"Moving information securely and efficiently from one place to another is the foundation of our business, and something that a great number of organizations rely on to operate efficiently on a daily basis,” said Dave Bennett, chief technology officer, Axway. "From ensuring data security to complying with various regulations, our customers count on Synchrony MFT to provide a secure method of monitoring their data while it’s in motion, offering a highly competitive total-cost-of-ownership for all sizes of enterprises.”

Axway recently announced a plan of merger with Tumbleweed Communications, which is also positioned in the leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer. Axway was also positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in Gartner’s recent B2B Gateway Report.²
