Solution

Based on the successful deployment by Indegene a few months earlier, the MFT Gateway solution by Aayu Technologies LLC, was known to be the best suited platform. However to meet the european regulations and laws, the deployment had to be performed in the EU region of the AWS cloud

Deployment

Similar to its previous deployment, Indegene requested Aayu Technologies to deploy the MFT Gateway solution into an isolated AWS account under its control, and within the European region. This allowed Indegene to be in full control and ownership of all data being exchanged and stored, to meet the regulatory requirements.

The deployment also allowed customizations required by Indegene, specifically to use on-rest encryption of files on S3 storage, and use of a dedicated Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for outbound messages, utilizing a static IP. The use of 2 way SSL with client authentication was another requirement to be fulfilled when connecting to the pharmaceutical customer, and the MFT gateway met all requirements. The customizations also included a Simple Queue Service (SQS) notification to notify Indegene systems of events, which the target systems then used to fetch message payloads from S3. Using the S3 integration capabilities, the Indegene systems could both send and receive messages over AS2 by simply copying to, and reading from the allocated S3 storage bucket.

The system was moved into production from July 2021 and is successfully processing messages, while being under the full control and ownership of Indegene.
