Redwood Software Launches Managed File Transfer as SAP Solution Extension
In a significant development for enterprise file management, Redwood Software, a premier orchestration platform for autonomous enterprises, has announced its Managed File Transfer solution will now be marketed as an SAP Solution Extension. Officially named
SAP® Managed File Transfer by Redwood, this solution is designed to offer secure, automated file transfers for business-critical processes and is positioned to complement the SAP Integration Suite as well as the SAP Cloud ERP Private.
In today’s digital ecosystem, organizations often face challenges with traditional Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions that can be restrictive due to vendor lock-in and performance limitations. Redwood's offering promises a transformative approach, implementing a Zero-Trust security architecture that enables businesses to manage file-based workflows without these constraints. As Kevin Greene, the CEO of Redwood Software, aptly puts it, this new service “turns fragile integration workarounds into compliant, high-performing file workflows.”
