File-Driven Integration for Modern Enterprises
Process, transform, and route files in real time across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments. Stream large files efficiently and integrate B2B, EDI, SaaS, and data lake systems with the WSO2 Integration Platform.
Critical business data
still lives in files
Despite the rise of APIs, critical enterprise data remains trapped in CSV, EDI, XML, JSON, and flat files across FTP servers, cloud storage, and legacy systems. Traditional file transfer tools can't handle scale, real-time processing, or modern security needs, leading to delays, operational risk, and limited visibility into data-driven workflows.
Files are not just data—they’re business events
Real-time processing
Treat file arrivals as business triggers, not batch jobs.
AI and data lake enablement
Feed large datasets into analytics platforms and AI knowledge bases.
B2B and EDI modernization
Automate ingestion and transformation of X12, EDIFACT, and custom EDI formats.
Streaming-first scalability
Process multi-gigabyte files without memory bottlenecks.
Cloud-native compliance
Securely integrate across hybrid and multi-cloud storage systems.
Modern enterprises require file processing that is scalable, secure, and event-driven.
Real-world file-driven integration scenarios
B2B / EDI automation
Automatically ingest and parse ANSI X12, UN/EDIFACT, and custom EDI files into internal business systems.
AI knowledge ingestion
Monitor S3 or Azure Blob storage to extract and process documents for GenAI, RAG pipelines, or analytics platforms.
Multi-cloud data synchronization
Synchronize data bidirectionally between on-prem FTP/SMB servers and AWS S3 or Azure Blob storage.
Legacy-to-cloud modernization
Transform mainframe-generated flat files into JSON or XML for microservices and API-based systems.
Large file transformation
Stream and transform multi-gigabyte CSV or JSON files with minimal infrastructure strain.
Extract, Transform, Load (ETL)
Extract data from enterprise systems, transform it into a consistent, sanitized, and readable format, and load it into a target system.
Reference Architecture
Why use WSO2 for file integration
- Multiple protocol support
Native support for FTP/SFTP, SMB, AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, and other enterprise protocols. - Streaming-first architecture
