In today’s fast-paced digital world, organizations rely heavily on data exchange to power operations, engage partners, and deliver exceptional customer experiences. Yet, behind the scenes, many companies still depend on outdated SFTP servers, manual scripts, and fragmented tools to move files from one system to another. These legacy setups not only create security vulnerabilities but also introduce operational delays, hidden costs, and compliance risks.
This is exactly where Boomi Managed File Transfer (Boomi MFT)—powered by Thru—redefines the way enterprises manage their file transfers. With a cloud-native, secure, and fully integrated managed file transfer solution, Boomi MFT simplifies partner connectivity, eliminates legacy infrastructure, and gives organizations total visibility into file movement.
As a professional integration and automation consulting partner, Techmatic Systems helps businesses adopt Boomi MFT seamlessly, ensuring a smooth transition to modern, secure, API-driven file transfers.
What Is Boomi Managed FileTransfer?
Boomi MFT is an advanced managed file transfer system that integrates directly with the Boomi platform. It allows businesses to securely exchange files with partners, vendors, suppliers, and internal systems while maintaining full traceability, encryption, and governance.
Boomi MFT:
Replaces legacy SFTP servers
Consolidates all file-based integrations
Ensures end-to-end encryption
Automates partner onboarding
Provides transparent monitoring
Integrates natively into Boomi workflows
In essence, it modernizes how organizations manage critical business files across their ecosystem.
How Boomi MFT Works
Boomi MFT operates using two powerful channels that streamline file movement and visibility.
1. File Data Channel
This channel handles the secure transfer of file payloads between Boomi, Thru, and external systems. Files can move:
From Boomi processes to partners
From partners to Boomi for further processing
This ensures controlled, secure, and automated file exchange.
2. Control Channel
Some file transfers may not require the actual file to pass through Boomi.
Even in those cases, Boomi can:
Trigger the transfer
Monitor the event
Log all interactions
Provide complete visibility
This means organizations can maintain full governance, regardless of where the file physically travels.
Why Organizations Replace SFTP Servers with Boomi MFT ?
