Case Study: BMW Group achieves consolidated, secure global file transfer with Axway SecureTransport

Global Automobile Manufacturer Makes Axway SecureTransport its Standard for Managed File Transfer

BMW Group, a global automobile manufacturer, faced a fragmented landscape of file‑transfer systems—many home‑grown, script‑based solutions using insecure protocols—that made it difficult to meet corporate security policies and manage connections with a broad network of external partners. The company needed a single, standardized, centrally managed solution that supported both ad‑hoc and automated transfers worldwide while ensuring full security and compliance.

After a full proof‑of‑concept, BMW adopted Axway SecureTransport as its standard managed file‑transfer platform, deploying it in European and U.S. datacenters with a dual‑tier, high‑availability configuration. The implementation consolidated diverse script solutions, enforced secure standard Internet protocols, simplified automated tasks (PGP, push/pull), reduced manual administration and costs, and delivered scalable, easy‑to‑integrate, enterprise‑level file‑exchange services with full compliance.
