Why Korper and GoAnywhere MFT make the difference

Control over business-critical file transfers

Within many organizations, file transfer remains a fragile part of the IT landscape. Transfers are often handled through standalone scripts, manual actions, or legacy solutions that are difficult to manage and maintain. This creates risks related to security, compliance, and operational continuity. Fortra GoAnywhere MFT provides a modern, centralized alternative.

A structured MFT approach, supported by Korper

Korper helps organizations redesign and professionalize their file transfer processes using Fortra GoAnywhere MFT. The focus goes beyond technology alone and centers on control, reliability, and predictability of data flows. Fortra GoAnywhere MFT acts as a central platform for automating and managing file transfers. Complex transfers can be modeled as clear, structured workflows that include encryption, logging, and error handling. By supporting compliance requirements such as GDPR, DORA, and ISO standards, and by integrating with a wide range of environments, including ERP systems, cloud platforms, APIs, and storage, a unified solution is created for all file flows.

From isolated transfers to controlled processes

With Fortra GoAnywhere MFT in place, ad-hoc solutions and manual interventions are largely eliminated. They are replaced by repeatable, controlled processes with clear monitoring and reporting. This leads to a lower risk of errors or data breaches, improved transparency for auditors and regulators, and reduced operational pressure on IT teams.

Rapid insight through a Proof of Concept

To quickly demonstrate value, Korper can deliver a Proof of Concept within two weeks. In a clearly defined environment, organizations can see how existing data flows are automated and secured using Fortra GoAnywhere MFT. This provides concrete insight into the platform’s functionality and impact within their own context.

Support for design, implementation, and optimization

While Fortra GoAnywhere MFT is flexible and easy to manage, implementing enterprise-grade file flows often requires specialized expertise. Korper supports organizations with analyzing existing transfers, designing new workflows, migrating scripts and legacy solutions, and setting up security and compliance controls. We also guide integrations with databases, cloud environments, APIs, storage solutions, and business-critical applications, ensuring that file transfer processes align seamlessly with the broader IT landscape.

Knowledge transfer and training

For organizations that want to maintain control over their MFT environment, Korper offers training for Fortra GoAnywhere MFT. These sessions, delivered online or on-site, are designed for both administrators and developers and cover topics such as workflow design, scheduling and triggers, encryption and key management, logging and audit trails, SFTP and cloud integrations, API connections, and monitoring. The training concludes with a practical case in which a complete enterprise file flow is designed and automated.
