Original Press Release:
Introducing MessageWay®, Advanced Managed File Transfer Solution for Enterprise File Exchange
MessageWay Positioned in Visionaries Quadrant in "Magic Quadrant for MFT"
June 30, 2008 - Livonia, MI - MessageWay Solutions today unveiled MessageWay, the company's premier suite for Advanced Managed File Transfer (MFT) that enables companies to securely exchange mission critical files between departments, domains, and partner networks. MessageWay is designed to help organizations modernize IT assets, consolidate control, and streamline business processes around B2B file exchange processes. MessageWay is comprised of MW Transport, MW Director, MW Translator, and MW Integrator, a tightly integrated software suite that meets the most exacting file exchange requirements for security, performance, and reliability. In a recent Gartner report, "Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer,"
MessageWay was positioned in the "Visionaries" quadrant.1
According to the report, "Gartner estimates that the market for MFT suites and services is approximately $450 million and is growing at a rate of 21% to 26% year over year." Moreover, "While the big fish in the pond become bigger, the pond itself is growing even faster. For the most part, the largest and most common competitors are homegrown FTP solutions, which are technically free, but, as many of our clients realize, are neither well managed, secured, nor without maintenance headaches."
Modernize IT Assets, Consolidate Enterprise File Exchange
MessageWay automates core business processes, and provides complete end-to-end visibility and control over the entire enterprise file exchange process. MessageWay provides a full suite of secure client and server communications protocols including FTP/FTP SSL, SSH, AS2, HTTPS, and SMTP, that enables an organization to meet all their respective trading partner's connectivity requirements. MessageWay streamlines business processes and enables collaboration across enterprise boundaries with workflow-driven, business process management (BPM) features that intelligently determine the appropriate processes and flows, and eliminates disruptions caused by 'non-standard' transmissions from external sources. MessageWay's flexible SOA architecture delivers, extends, and integrates enterprise applications using adapters and services that provide access to all MessageWay services and enable Advanced MFT across the enterprise.
With MessageWay, businesses can:
o Consolidate Transmission Systems by migrating multiple instances of FTP servers and proprietary file exchange solutions onto a centralized, streamlined B2B platform.
o Adopt Secure and Open Communications by leveraging MessageWay's perimeter servers for inbound and outbound proxy communications that eliminate potential data-at-rest issues in non-secured areas of the network.
o Enhance Interoperability by using pre-defined adaptors and scripts that can schedule and invoke MessageWay services with any application on the network.
o Manage Peak Volumes and Improve Processing Performance with core translator services that handle high volume, complex files, and provide a single-pass, 'any-to-any' translation that eliminates the need for intermediate file formats.
o Flexibly Deploy Advanced MFT by installing on a single, stand-alone server or deploy in a geographically distributed cluster for high availability. MessageWay provides the flexibility to deploy to meet enterprise security standards and operational requirements.
"MessageWay is a proven Advanced MFT solution that can quickly scale to peak demands and meet the most exacting specifications for security, reliability, and performance," stated Greg Faubert, CEO of MessageWay.
"Our solution was originally designed to manage high volume communications for global file exchange. Since then we have enhanced MessageWay's functionality to help businesses more tightly integrate managed file transfer into their application environment. Our unique server-based pricing makes MessageWay an affordable choice that delivers the latest technology advancements in Advanced MFT. Our goal is to help our customers get the most value out of their existing IT assets by centralizing all file exchange systems onto one, centralized B2B platform."
