Used today by more of the world’s top broadcasters, studios, media service providers, sports networks and game developers, Signiant delivers software solutions that facilitate the movement of file-based media between systems, applications and users  – from finished-format movies, trailers and TV episodics to pre-production content and mobile news. 

Unlike fragmented, first-generation file transport solutions that have proliferated ad hoc networks and disparate, unmanaged transport mechanisms, Signiant’s software and services are uniquely tuned for the media enterprise.  This focus is evident in our scalable solutions, on-staff knowledge of broadcast and media operations, support for standards and growing ecosystem of technology partnerships to help customers leverage existing infrastructure investments for more efficient  and secure content creation, aggregation and cross-platform distribution.

In contrast to general purpose file-sharing applications that do not provide the level of automation, unparalleled speed and security that media enterprises today require, Signiant software lets users exchange content fast, efficiently – and securely.  Utilizing an IP-based Signiant Acceleration Protocol and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) security model, Signiant optimizes the movement of media, regardless of location or size of digital media files. For added security, all content is stored within the customer’s infrastructure with file movement controlled by private Signiant servers.

Only Signiant gives customers the ability to maintain control of content via a flexible, distributed architecture that supports system-to-system workflows; fast, secure file movement between users; and powerfully simple desktop and mobile interfaces for both managed and unattended transfers and automatic updates.  Our software solutions include:

• Signiant Media Manager + Agents™ – a powerful, system-to-system solution designed to handle the administration, control, management and execution of all system activity – including workflow modeling – from a single platform. Ideal for batch transfers of large numbers of media files, users interact with the Manager through a Web-based interface for system configuration, task automation and reporting.  Agents are installed on the sending and receiving ends to manage and track content movement.
• Signiant Media Exchange™ – a private cloud solution for sharing media assets with a broader partner ecosystem.  Based on the same file transfer technology as Signiant’s Manager system-to-system solution, Media Exchanges lets users easily automate the secure, unattended delivery of content directly to/from any desktop or mobile device without an agent, reducing the steps required to send or obtain content for greater operational efficiency and scale.
