Common combinations are 'die Übermittlung von Daten' (the transmission of data), 'von Informationen' (of information), or 'von Nachrichten' (of messages). Adjectives that are often used include 'sicher' (secure), 'schnell' (fast), or 'elektronisch' (electronic).
Die elektronische Übermittlung der Steuererklärung spart Zeit und Papier.

transmission / transfer
Both words can refer to the transport of data or signals from a sender to a recipient. die Übertragung tends to emphasize the technical transmission, whereas Übermittlung highlights the passing on of information or messages. For a formal message, “Übermittlung” is therefore usually the better choice.
Die Übermittlung der Nachricht an den Empfänger funktionierte trotz des Gewitters.
The delivery of the message to the recipient worked despite the thunderstorm.
Die Übertragung des Signals zum Empfänger funktionierte trotz des Gewitters.
The transmission of the signal to the recipient worked despite the thunderstorm.
