Wipro’s Managed File Transfer-as-a-Service (MFTaaS) solution helped the client to seamlessly onboard new partners while reducing the transaction processing time to less than 3 seconds

Challenges

The data exchange mandate for gas utilities by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union (EU) directs the need for standard and interoperable codes for commercial data management system managed by the client. The exchange of trading data between various parties should take place via the internet using secured channel and communication protocols like AS4, AS2 and web services. Hence, the client needed a modern gateway solution and interoperable integration platform.

Solution

With its deep technology expertise in B2B integration, Wipro helped the client and its governing partners with a seamless, scalable and modern integration landscape.

Hosted a B2B exchange hub in a SaaS multi-tenant model on a dynamically scalable Cloud
Implemented an end-to-end gateway solution to help with integration of adjacent third-party shippers using multiple communication protocols
Enabled seamless transition from a legacy file transfer solution to a SaaS-based highly secured and robust integration solution
Defined workflows, data transformation units and reporting interface for the said integration landscape apart from 24/7 support for the new system
Auto-scalable platform to implement and deploy additional interfaces resulting in considerable cost benefits
The SaaS-based solution is extendible to newer technologies like APIs and aligns to all industry defined communication guidelines and protocols like HTTP, HTTPS, SFTP, SMTP.

Business impact

Wipro provided the desired future state of the strategic B2B exchange for the client, its transmission system operators and other trading partners.

50% reduction in the number of incidents logged
Seamless partner on-boarding
Shorter processing time of 2 to 3 seconds per transaction
Pay-as-you-go pricing with no upfront investment from the client for infrastructure or hardware

This was one of the key implementations of Wipro’s MFTaaS solution which enabled the client with a scalable and interoperable integration platform. The platform helped the client reduce their operational costs by reusing the architecture and onboarding new partners with altogether different file flows and integration requirements.
