Case Study: British Telecom achieves greater functionality, enhanced security and increased reliability at lower cost with Axway Managed File Transfer

Greater Functionality, Enhanced Security and Increased Reliability at a Lower Cost with Axway Managed File Transfer

British Telecom (BT), one of Europe’s largest telecommunications providers, faced operational headaches from a sprawling IT landscape of legacy platforms and dozens of file-transfer protocols. Manual interventions, inflexible licensing and rising costs—exposed by a new billing system that required daily exchange of up to 35 GB across 20,000 files—threatened BT’s automation and service reliability.

BT migrated to Axway Managed File Transfer (MFT), a platform- and protocol-independent solution deployed under a single enterprise license. Axway delivered centralized, secure, end-to-end control, faster remote troubleshooting and a like-for-like migration completed ahead of schedule, reducing costs, improving reliability and ensuring timely, auditable transfers—allowing BT to meet deadlines, avoid penalties and plan further expansion of MFT capabilities.
