Modernized data exchange has unified global customer file transfers and delivers major savings
The only barrier that we had with Files.com was supporting an IBM legacy technology, Connect:Direct, and supporting more on-prem government-regulated environments such as FISMA. I believe Files.com already has FedRAMP certification now, so we are going to look to leverage that in the future. I think they have already addressed one of our major concerns. The other concern is that if we could figure out how to get rid of Connect:Direct directly from IBM, then we would not have any need for file transfers outside of Files.com. Nothing comes to mind regarding needed improvements. There are no improvements needed for Files.com; it has been great.
