Description
The British Library’s current fragmented transfer mechanisms are inefficient and does not meet our current needs. We are seeking a SaaS Managed File Transfer (MFT) platform to provide a standardized secure, controlled, auditable, automated and scalable digital file transfer to handle multi-terabyte size data. This solution should strengthen collaboration with external partners and address persistent challenges such as variable partner technology capabilities and inconsistent practices. The purpose of this exercise is to refresh our understanding of the MFT tools currently available, that will enable the British Library to continue its progress toward a more standardised approach. This includes ensuring we can meet the data transfers needs both internally and externally – a variety of file formats including images and recordings, be broadly compatible with partners of diverse size partners (single donors, large publishers, private and public business), reporting and auditing, as well as the key business processes and capabilities that will underpin organisational planning and decision‐making during this period.
