Case Study: MuleSoft achieves 10x operating‑cost reduction and 480% faster partner onboarding with Thru

Modernizing B2B file transfer processes accelerates IT response to big oil business dynamics

MuleSoft, a multibillion‑dollar independent oil and gas exploration and production company with 1,200+ employees, needed to replace brittle on‑premises FTP servers to consolidate file exchange management, improve partner onboarding, and integrate file transfers into its cloud‑first architecture. To modernize B2B file transfer processes and reduce manual scripting and downtime, the company turned to Thru, deploying the Thru cloud‑native managed file transfer platform and the Thru MFT Connector for MuleSoft.

Thru replaced legacy FTP with a scalable, cloud MFT solution that provides native integration into the Anypoint Platform, point‑and‑click workflow creation, automated recurring transfers, real‑time visibility and centralized scheduling and audit trails. The Thru implementation delivered measurable impact: 10x reduction in operating expenses, 480% efficiency gains in partner onboarding and 2.5x faster delivery of business‑critical data—while eliminating manual scripts, improving fault‑tolerant delivery and dramatically speeding trading partner onboarding.
