What Pro:Atria Ltd does

Pro:Atria Ltd is a UK-incorporated (Yeovil, England), privately held software company founded in 2001 that develops and sells SFTPPlus MFT, an enterprise managed file transfer (MFT) solution. The product provides secure, automated file transfers across multiple protocols — SFTP, SCP, FTPS, FTP, HTTP, WebDAV, SharePoint, Azure Blob, SMTP, AS2, REST, and Exchange-Online — and is composed of four primary components: a Server, Client, CLI, and Web Portal. SFTPPlus supports deployment on Windows, Linux, and macOS hosts, as well as cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud), containers, and Kubernetes (via Kubernetes Operators, Helm Charts, and GitOps/Argo CD pipelines). It integrates natively with enterprise identity systems including Microsoft Entra ID, Google Identity, Okta, RADIUS, and LDAP/Active Directory, and provides audit logging, security hardening, and a configuration API for automated operations.

The company operates a hybrid commercial model built around perpetual software licensing with an annual support subscription equal to 20% of the initial license fee (capped at 5% annual increases), supplemented by optional training services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Sales occur through direct engagement, a global federation of independent distributors and resellers, and formal technology partnerships with Microsoft (Registered Member), IBM (PartnerWorld), HP (AllianceOne), Red Hat (Ready Partner), SAP Ariba, and the UK Government Gateway operator eDT. Customers include UK government departments (Department for Transport, Scottish Government, DWP, DVLA), large enterprises (VISA, IBM Global Services, Siemens Energy, Fujitsu IT UK, Standard Life), and SMEs across Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and Oceania. The company remains 100% self-funded and independent, with no external investment, no subsidiaries, and a headcount of 1-10, operating with an autonomous, product-led delivery model.
