Fortra says AI could save file transfer admins up to 160 hours a year

Fortra, a company that provides software for scheduling file transfers between businesses, claims artificial intelligence (AI) could save file transfer administrators up to 160 hours per year. This translates to approximately 3.1 hours of time saved each week that would otherwise be spent troubleshooting failed transfers. Managed file transfer (MFT) technology is crucial for essential business operations such as payroll exports, bank settlements, and purchase orders.

Fortra offers two MFT platforms: GoAnywhere MFT and Globalscape EFT. The AI feature responsible for the estimated time savings is called Guided Diagnostics, which operates within the GoAnywhere platform. Fortra's Team Lead, Solutions Engineering, Heath Kath, will demonstrate Guided Diagnostics during a webinar scheduled for Thursday, November 19, at noon (9 a.m. Pacific).

Kath will conduct the demonstration, run Guided Diagnostics against a simulated failure, and be available to answer questions about the time-saving estimate. Attendees are requested to select their current MFT environment, job role, industry, organization, country, and email address during registration. Additionally, attendees are asked to choose their level of experience and current involvement in MFT-related activities.
