Case Study: University of Melbourne achieves efficient management of 3,300 weekly file transfers and greater business agility with Oracle Managed File Transfer 12c

University of Melbourne Gains Efficiency to Manage 3,300 File Transfers Weekly, Increases Business Agility, and Enables Seamless Operation

The University of Melbourne, a leading research university, needed a simple, reliable file-transfer system that would integrate with its existing Oracle stack to manage large volumes of sensitive data—student records, enrollments and financial information. The university sought better visibility into transfers, faster incident resolution by sharing ownership across support teams, reduced delays to critical operations, and a solution developers could configure without a full development cycle to cut costs and complexity.

By deploying Oracle Managed File Transfer 12c with Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle SOA Suite, the university now efficiently handles 3,300 weekly transfers across 35 source and 20 target systems, automates bank file downloads for timely payments, and eliminated frequent outages from the legacy system. Configuration is now five times faster (one day versus a week), support teams gain end‑to‑end auditability to diagnose and resubmit files quickly, adoption expanded across departments, and operating and maintenance costs were reduced by leveraging existing Oracle infrastructure.
