The Growing Cost of Fragmented File Systems
Modern enterprises move more files now than ever - across systems, partners, and time zones. Every business process, from order fulfillment to compliance reporting, depends on files moving securely and reliably between people and platforms. Keeping those legacy MFT servers around become more costly and risky each day.
Slow Partner Onboarding
Every new partner connection, API link, or automation workflow becomes a one-off project that takes weeks to deploy and maintain.
Limited Visibility
IT teams can’t easily see where files live, how they’re moving, or who’s accessing them — increasing audit risk and operational blind spots.
Manual IT Overhead
Teams spend countless hours maintaining scripts, managing user permissions, or troubleshooting failed transfers instead of focusing on strategic work.
Security Gaps
Disconnected systems and one-off integrations create vulnerabilities, exposing sensitive data to compliance and privacy risks.
File Orchestration Platform
The Next Era of Enterprise File Infrastructure
Legacy Managed File Transfer (MFT) tools weren’t designed for the scale, complexity, or need for real-time collaboration that modern organizations demand.
A file orchestration platform connects all sources and destinations, automates transfers and transformations, and gives IT and DevOps full visibility and control across the entire file lifecycle - without adding complexity.
Where MFT prioritizes movement, file orchestration focuses on coordination, bringing storage, automation, security, and collaboration together under one cloud-native control plane.

Pillars of a File Orchestration Platform
Unified File Fabric
All files - across clouds, SaaS apps, and on-prem storage - appear as part of one logical system, a unified file fabric. No more scattered silos, duplicate data, or brittle integrations. File orchestration platforms give IT one control plane for permissions, auditing, and visibility.
One namespace. Every system. Zero silos.
Universal Protocol Support
Whether your partners use SFTP, AS2, HTTPS, REST APIs, or legacy standards, you need to support them all. A file orchestration platform connects to any system or vendor without relying on middleware, writing custom code, or maintaining fragile scripts. Integration that once took weeks now happens in hours.
Speak every protocol. Connect with anyone.
Collaboration & Human Workflows
Automation handles the heavy lifting, but people still play a role - reviewing, approving, and sharing. Users can share links, preview files, manage versions, and access data from any device, all under enterprise-grade security and audit controls.
Because file exchange isn’t just machines.
True Cloud-Native Architecture
A file orchestration platform isn’t a “lift-and-shift” legacy system - it’s cloud-native. That means elastic scaling, built-in redundancy, 99.99% uptime, and zero maintenance.
Born in the cloud. Built to scale.
Global Data Processing & Residency
File orchestration platforms allow customers to choose where their data lives - in the EU, US GovCloud, APAC, and beyond - and enforces residency, performance, and privacy requirements automatically. No matter where your data travels, your policies follow.
Data everywhere, rules everywhere - governed as one fabric.
Enterprise Security & Trust
Enterprises need to securely move files without compliance risk or the chance of a leak. File orchestration means making zero-trust architecture the standard. AES-256 encryption, MFA, SSO, and detailed audit trails ensure that every action is verifiable, every connection secure, and every standard met.
Security as a promise, not a checkbox.
Rev Up Revenue Capture
Accelerate partner onboarding and win more deals with superior integration capabilities. With Files.com, companies onboard partners up to 90% faster, recognizing revenue sooner and eliminating weeks of custom development. A modern, intuitive experience helps you win more deals, while flawless, automated file orchestration ensures every transaction runs smoothly – preventing churn and strengthening customer trust.
Eliminate IT Waste
Patch Tuesday, downtime, and Saturdays spent patching updates are a thing of the past.
"That's just how it's done" doesn't have to be the case when tackling your trivial, repetitive IT tasks. A file orchestration platform eliminates those pesky work tasks, rescuing your IT teams from 3am notifications that the MFT server is down, yet again.
Get Compliance Under Control
Active automations handle encryption, transfers, and audit logging in real time, ensuring every file flow meets HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 standards without manual oversight. Synced remote servers keep data consistent and governed across every region, system, and partner connection, eliminating the risk of outdated or unsecured copies.
Once file operations are orchestrated, the enterprise runs differently (compliance happens by default, not by exception) giving IT the confidence that every file, workflow, and connection remains secure, synchronized, and fully auditable.
