Case Study: Absa achieves secure, scalable file transfer consolidation with Progress MOVEit

Absa scales file transfers to 1.4 million per day with Progress Software MOVEit

Absa, a financial services group, faced complexity and high costs from managing multiple legacy file transfer tools like IBM Sterling. They needed a secure and scalable solution to consolidate operations, reduce IT overhead, and support cloud migration. They turned to Progress Software and its MOVEit platform for a modern solution.

Progress Software implemented a centralized MOVEit environment, replacing five legacy systems. This solution automated workflows and integrated with AWS and mainframes. The results were dramatic: daily file transfers scaled from 30,000 to 1.4 million with zero performance issues, manual task setup time was cut by 75%, and the IT team required to manage transfers dropped from 60 to 9 people, saving millions in operating costs.
