Concept
The Thru Automated File Transfer system was developed to tackle the complex challenge of managing large-scale file exchanges involving numerous participants and diverse workflows. A key issue in such large-scale solutions is overcoming fragmentation.
To address this, the system introduced the concept of a 'flow'. A flow is a forward-looking entity, designed to be adaptable and scalable, easily accommodating new participants as they join the system.
Rather than being a static 'job', a flow can be better understood as a 'route' or pathway for data transmission. This dynamic approach allows for greater flexibility and efficiency in managing complex file transfer scenarios.
