Sending Data to EMS

Modified on Thu, 2 Apr at 9:10 AM

Below table lists the current methods that can be utilized for transferring FDW or ODW data to GE SaaS EMS Platform.

Our preference today is for Azure SFTP. This seems to offer the most flexibility for us and for data providers/customers.

Please reach out to EMS platform engineering team to discuss technical details when needed.

In first 4 options, the sending party should check completion of each data transmission and be able to resend data when needed.
