Files.com has announced the definition of a new enterprise software category: the File Orchestration Platform. Positioned as the evolution beyond traditional SFTP servers and Managed File Transfer (MFT) systems, this category is designed to meet the modern demands of secure, automated file operations across hybrid and multi-cloud environments by unifying automated transfers, partner integrations, and human collaboration into a single cloud-native system.

Files.com defines a new "File Orchestration Platform" category to replace legacy SFTP and MFT.
The platform unifies automated transfers, B2B workflows, and human collaboration.
Six core capabilities define the category, including a unified file fabric and universal protocol support.
It features cloud-native architecture with elastic scaling and 99.99% uptime.
The solution targets complex use cases like high-volume EDI, B2B workflows, and secure document sharing.
Files.com is trusted by over 4,000 organizations for secure file automation and compliance.
The company has outlined six definitive capabilities required for a File Orchestration Platform. These include a unified file fabric that spans cloud and on-premises storage, support for universal protocols (SFTP, AS2, HTTPS) and over 50 cloud connectors, and workflows that integrate both automation and human collaboration. The architecture must be cloud-native with elastic scaling, offer global data residency options, and deliver enterprise-grade security and compliance controls.
The new category emerges in response to the growing challenge of moving and managing data across increasingly fragmented IT environments. Legacy point-to-point integrations and on-premises servers struggle with the scale, speed, and governance requirements of modern digital supply chains. A file orchestration platform aims to consolidate these disparate tools into a single governed layer, simplifying operations for use cases ranging from EDI exchanges and B2B partner integrations to secure internal document sharing and media asset movement.
By defining this category, Files.com is establishing a new benchmark for what organizations should expect from a modern file transfer and workflow solution. The emphasis is on providing a platform that not only automates transfers but also orchestrates entire file-centric business processes with built-in compliance, collaboration, and scalability, thereby eliminating the need to manage multiple aging and disconnected systems.
