Managed file transfer and SFTP platform engineering

File transfers are where partners, payroll, claims, payments and reports meet. When they fail, the business notices. From Denver, Colorado, WITSB designs, upgrades, migrates, secures and supports MFT and SFTP platforms, remotely and with on-call coverage, drawing on work in file-heavy, regulated industries such as health insurance, employee benefits and payment processing.

Questions

Can you take over administration of our existing MFT platform?

Yes. We start with a review of the configuration, partners, jobs, keys and certificates, document what we find, and then support it on an hourly, retainer or on-call basis.

Do you help migrate from one MFT product to another?

Yes. Migrations are planned partner by partner: inventory, mapping of workflows and credentials, parallel testing with each partner, and a cutover plan with a rollback path.

Can you work in regulated environments?

Yes. We have worked in health insurance, employee benefits and payment-processing environments, and we follow your security, access and change-management processes.
