MOVEit Automation
Automates scheduled and event-driven file transfers with centralised policy and audit.
MOVEit Automation: automated, policy-driven managed file transfers
Many IT teams manage a mix of scheduled batches, event-driven drops and partner exchanges across on-prem and cloud systems. Manual scripts, point-to-point tools and untracked transfers cause missed jobs, inconsistent handling and gaps in auditability.
MOVEit Automation schedules and triggers transfers, enforces transfer policies and centralises logs so teams can see who moved what and when. It supports policy-based routing, secure handoffs to external partners and searchable audit records for troubleshooting and review.
For regulated sectors and large estates, MOVEit helps reduce operational risk around file movement and provides traceability that aids internal teams and external audits. It is a practical choice where volume, partner integration and hybrid infrastructure make manual processes fragile.
Where MOVEit Automation is used
Scheduled batch movements: automate nightly exports from ERP and payroll systems into reporting or data-lake targets with retry and alerting to reduce manual intervention.
Partner exchanges: centralise SFTP/AS2 drops, apply routing and encryption policies, and deliver files to internal recipients while keeping an auditable trail for each transfer.
Event-driven workflows: trigger downstream processing when files arrive, hand off to ETL tools or notify application teams while retaining full transfer logs for investigation.
Suitable environments
Fits large organisations and regulated sectors (finance, healthcare, government) that need reliable, auditable file movement at scale.
Works well across hybrid estates with on-prem systems, cloud storage and many external partners where central policy enforcement and traceable logs are required.
How we help
Armstrong can assist with implementation, configuration and ongoing support of MOVEit Automation for internal IT teams. We typically work with large or regulated organisations that have high-volume scheduled transfers, external partner exchanges or hybrid cloud/on-prem estates. Armstrong helps configure policies, schedules and integrations and supports handover to customer operations. We do not operate customer environments.
Features
Accelerate Task and Workflow Creation
Authorised users can automate multi-step, logic-based workflows with ease, no programming skills required. Files can be pulled, processed, and pushed to any platform across any network architecture automatically. Most automation projects are deployable within hours—not weeks—eliminating the need for costly professional services or custom scripts.
Help Ensure Security and Compliance
MOVEit Automation ensures guaranteed delivery, PGP encryption for data at rest, and granular access controls. It integrates seamlessly with leading anti-virus software.
