UTE, the electricity generation and distribution company in Montevideo – Uruguay, needed to have a secure and reliable way to exchange highly sensitive information with clients, partners, suppliers and internal users. Every day they sent and received multiple gigabytes. UTE transferred its data using a variety of file transfer forms, including ad-hoc methods developed internally, FTPs, emails or complex scripts.

These insecure ways did not allow compliance with regulations. As business expanded, data transfer requirements grew, became more complex, and the volume increased exponentially. Transfer workflows often involved complex file synchronization operations, with thousands of files located throughout the folder structure that could also require changes. Controlling the process became a constant challenge.

Managed File Transfer (MFT) technology, Secure File Transfer, allows you to automate, encrypt and audit the sending and receiving of files in your organization very easily and centrally.

With the implementation of Globalscape EFT Enterprise, UTE achieved the following benefits:

• Automated your file transfers
• With reliable and encrypted data exchange, improved security without the need for scripts
• Make your SFTP, FTPS, AS2 or HTTPS transmissions securely
• Saved time

• Full visibility and control over IT infrastructure and data activity
• Increased operational efficiency
• Centralized the file transfer activity to a single location, which simplified management
• Receive automatic alerts when a submit fails
