As file transfers connect your processes, they need to be monitored and managed across applications, business units, time zones, locations, customers, and trading partners.
IBM Sterling Control Center gives you a consolidated view of your entire file transfer environment—plus the power to respond quickly and efficiently to exceptions, and changes in your environment. IBM Sterling Control Center helps you:
- Improve SLA performance with centralized exception management, notifications, rules, events, and reporting
- Meet compliance and regulatory requirements via policy definition, auditing, and reporting
- Simplify managing your file transfer network through central configuration management
Gain control and governance over all file transfer
