To modernize its legacy file transfer system without disrupting operations, the State of Kansas partnered with Sierra-Cedar to create FileVault, a secure, AWS-hosted file transfer platform tailored for state agencies and PeopleSoft applications. The solution blends familiar workflows with cloud-native technologies.
Key Project Highlights:
- Smooth Transition: The Department of Administration led a phased deployment with redundant file transfers to validate the system, helping to avoid disruption to daily operations and providing feedback for future rollouts
- Standardized File Transfers: FileVault replaced a patchwork of third-party FTP tools with a centralized, browser-based interface integrated into PeopleSoft, simplifying training and promoting consistency across agencies
- Streamlined User Experience: End users can upload and download files directly in PeopleSoft using familiar menus, without external tools. The underlying complexity is hidden, keeping users focused on their work
- Scalable and Future-Ready: Built using infrastructure-as-code, FileVault supports modular growth and smooth onboarding of additional agencies, providing a secure, flexible platform for statewide file transfers
