Migration from a Centralized MFT to De-centralized MFT solution

Business Problem

A global consumer healthcare enterprise operated a centralized Managed File Transfer (MFT) platform hosted in North America. While the solution was secure and stable, rapid global expansion across Europe and Asia-Pacific exposed performance and latency challenges that began impacting business operations, partner SLAs, and time-sensitive transactions.

To support global growth and regional operations, the organization required a decentralized, high-performance MFT architecture without compromising security, compliance, or governance standards.

Business Challenges

Centralized North America MFT instance causing high latency for EMEA and APAC partners

Large file transfers experiencing timeouts and SLA breaches

Performance degradation during regional peak processing windows

Increased retransmissions and manual recovery efforts

Regulatory constraints requiring regional data handling in certain countries

Limited regional failover capabilities

Growing partner dissatisfaction due to slow turnaround times

The centralized model created operational bottlenecks and could not scale efficiently with increasing global transaction volumes.

Arohak’s Solution

Arohak designed and implemented a decentralized, regionally distributed MFT architecture that preserved centralized governance while delivering localized performance.

Key Solution Components
