About Us

There was a need.

There was a reason.

It was a calling.

Secure file transfer or managed file transfer (MFT) changed forever late in the 1980s when two senior computer scientists from the largest, most powerful computing corporation in the world joined forces to form a new venture they hoped would make things better for those involved in electronic data transfers.  That venture has grown into the company we know today as bTrade.

The founders’ original vision was to create sophisticated compression algorithms which would help companies save millions of dollars (then) on data transmissions over pay-per-kilo-character lines.  They succeeded, and the compression algorithms proved to be groundbreaking for the managed file transfer industry.  Later, this vision evolved to include very high-bit encryption.  The combined compression/encryption product was a hit with companies and organizations of all sizes.

As bTrade grew and changed, so did the requirements for moving and securing data.  With the advent of the public Internet, the natural progression was the creation of technologies which essentially became the first iterations of today’s managed file transfer.  bTrade has continued to evolve by keeping a focus on being ahead of the curve, while at the same time, preserving and enhancing its core competencies for a new and sophisticated world.

Look for bTrade to provide efficient, innovative and holistic solutions that work with your global requirements.  We have the experience and the foresight to handle your sophisticated global needs because we have “been there and done that.”  No one is better suited than bTrade to help you win the battle of secure 24/7/365 managed file transfer.

bTrade has experienced several phases of growth and change, each adding to the company and its vision.  In its current phase, bTrade is positioned to provide the best human resources (over fifty years of combined MFT product and market knowledge) and the best technology (the most tested, powerful and stable MFT solution in the world).  And the mission will continue with consistent innovation and one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings in the industry. In short…

bTrade is MFT.
