Advanced Workflow Engine Module (optional)
With file transfer at the center of so many business-critical processes, security is only the first aspect of a much greater IT concern. When information consumers in your organization rely on manual and intermittent batch processes to deliver the data they need, day-to-day productivity becomes dangerously vulnerable to manpower limitations, vacations, turn-over, and simple human error.
Automate and Optimize Business Processes
Advanced Workflow Engine module (AWE) enables system architects to streamline business and IT processes without the limitations imposed by legacy systems and applications. AWE greatly extends the capabilities of EFT Server with event-driven, real-time processing of over 200 automated actions. While AWE automatically handles daily tasks, system architects can turn their attention to tomorrow’s business needs rather than today’s task list.
- Reduce time spent on repetitive manual processes
and monitoring operations
- Accelerate the flow of business-critical information
- Reduce human errors and delays
