EXTEND YOUR SOA WITH FILE TRANSFER GOVERNANCE 
Webcast: Date/Time: Thursday, October 15, 2009
Americas: 11.00 a.m. to 12.00p.m. EDT / UK: 4.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m. BST
Ask the Experts session: Friday, October 16, 2009
Americas: 9:00 am EDT to 1:00 pm EDT / UK: 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. BST
Every day, in organisations like yours, hundreds or thousands of data files are produced by applications and by employees. These files contain sensitive, confidential, and time critical information. Their movement within the organization and between you and your trading partners is increasingly attracting the attention of Compliance officers, auditors, and security teams. Most organisations like yours use a variety of file transfer tools and many have been developed separately in individual hubs or silo solutions. File transfer processes have become complex involving differing platforms, technologies, processing methods and support.
The impact, more often than not, is that File Transfer is not controlled or governed resulting in run-away operational expenses and compliance exposure.
Primeur invites you to a webcast to hear how reducing File Transfer costs can be achieved whilst also mitigating your organization's compliance risks with File Transfer Governance. Click here to register.
On Oct 16, connect with real-world experts from Primeur to learn about the Benefits of Extending your SOA with File Transfer Governance in an "Ask the Experts" online jam.
