"Video is a central platform for engaging NHL fans, both online where we serve them content they cannot get anywhere else, and in arenas where we highlight all of the exciting plays happening in other markets. We are constantly innovating to super-serve our avid fans, and deploying Signiant solutions is an important part of that strategy."
- Grant Nodine, VP of Technology, The National Hockey League
"Signiant's digital media distribution management solution allows us to prioritize bandwidth usage based on network capacity. This ensures that content from each of our partners is ingested quickly and easily in order to provide as much content as possible to our users in a timely manner. Without Signiant, we would not be able to offer the wide range of content that we have available on the site today."
- Andy Forssell, Senior Vice President of Content Acquisition and Distribution, Hulu
"With a growing TV audience, and now with the launch of our Website, Current evaluates a tremendous volume of content each day. And with files varying in length, size and format, it is imperative that our network doesn't get bogged down while ingesting content, or during the evaluation and editing process," said Steven Blumenfeld of Current. "Signiant's Digital Media Distribution Management suite works just like a dial-tone. We are consistently able to ingest content at approximately one-fifth the time it takes using an Internet file sharing service; and we are able to collaborate much more effectively during the editing process. Signiant was the only digital media distribution solution we looked at that could securely accelerate both transmission and ingestion of digital content."
- Steve Blumenfeld, CTO, Current
"Using Signiant's digital media distribution management solution, we are seeing real-time transfer of HD which has resulted in a reduction in post-production time and cost, while increasing the quality of NFL Replay and other NFL Network produced programming. Not only are we moving our game footage where it needs to go quickly and securely with Signiant, we've also increased our productivity levels and freed up employee time to do other tasks, which is helping our entire business to run more efficiently."
