[Progress Blogs] What’s New in MOVEit 2025.1: A Day When Files Keep Moving

In your day-to-day, file transfer requests can be disruptive. The MOVEit 2025.1 release is designed to alleviate some of that chaos.

It’s 7:58 a.m. Your dashboard looks calm—no red lights, no overnight surprises. By 9:05 a.m., the compliance team drops a request for authentication evidence across your critical systems.

At 10:20 a.m., a regional operations lead in the Middle East asks to expand access for a new partner ASAP. Just after lunch, a support ticket lands: a vendor hasn’t picked up a batch of files and a downstream process might miss its SLA.

Every day, your most critical business workflows depend on files moving reliably and securely to partners, with cloud apps and across internal systems. The latest Progress MOVEit release, 2025.1, doubles down on that reality with enhancements that harden access security, improve global usability and add proactive operational intelligence so your team can keep sensitive data moving on schedule and under control.

Single Sign-On with OpenID Connect (OIDC)


When the compliance request arrives at 9:05, you don’t scramble. MOVEit 2025.1 adds OpenID Connect (OIDC) single sign-on (SSO) to Progress MOVEit Automation, Progress MOVEit Transfer and Progress MOVEit Cloud. You plug MOVEit software into your enterprise identity provider (Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta and others) and leverage central policies to do the heavy lifting.



Why it matters: OIDC SSO aligns with Zero Trust by keeping access decisions close to your IdP. It reduces password sprawl and credential risk, standardizes onboarding/offboarding and turns audit evidence into a straightforward export of identity logs tied to MOVEit actions.

A Complete Web Experience in Arabic (Right-to-Left)


At 10:20 a.m., the global team wants to onboard a new partner. In previous years, you might have worried about training, translation and the risk of misconfiguration. In 2025.1, MOVEit Transfer and MOVEit Cloud offer a complete Arabic web experience, including a right-to-left layout.

Why it matters: Real localization is more than translated strings. It’s clarity in a region’s preferred language and layout, which speeds adoption, helps reduce mistakes in security-sensitive settings and supports a consistent operations model as you scale.

Proactive File Aging Alerts


The early-afternoon ticket about a vendor pickup? In MOVEit 2025.1, you get ahead of it. File aging alerts let you define thresholds for when files have sat too long—before “too long” becomes a missed SLA or a compliance problem.



Why it matters: Aging alerts replace manual polling and “hope and checking” with targeted notifications, giving your team a chance to address issues proactively, such as nudge a partner, archive files in the correct repository or escalate before a potential business impact.

New MOVEit Automation Best Practices Course


Upgrades and new projects succeed when your people share the same playbook. The new MOVEit Automation Best Practices course turns tribal knowledge into a teachable standard covering design patterns, error handling, governance guardrails and the misconfigurations to avoid.

Why it matters: Scaling automation isn’t just about more tasks—it’s about consistent, resilient tasks. A common curriculum reduces break/fix cycles, speeds onboarding and supports your team in designing with security and compliance in mind from day one.

Help Prevent Surprise Tasks from Making Your Day Hectic


If you’re a current customer with active support, the fastest path to value is simple: upgrade to MOVEit 2025.1 from the product download center in the Progress Community. Enable OIDC SSO, switch on aging alerts and roll out the Arabic UI where it matters.
