Signiant today disclosed key growth metrics for 2013 and offered further insight into the Company’s recent market momentum.

Signiant, the market leader in intelligent file movement software for media and entertainment, today announced that Ireland’s Gaelic broadcaster TG4 has standardized on Media Shuttle for securely moving large files. With its recent move to HD and an associated focus on implementing end-to-end file based workflows, TG4 decided it would not accept HD content deliveries on tape– making adoption of a robust file transfer solution a priority. A thorough evaluation of file delivery products revealed Media Shuttle to be the fastest and most flexible approach for moving content between local post houses and production companies, with the added benefit of automating a key step in the broadcast workflow.

After a few years of uncertainty and caution, broadcasters and production companies that serve them are beginning to have a better understanding of what “the cloud” is and how it can help produce and distribute content internally and for consumer use. We’re seeing many success stories.

Yesterday at the Banff World Media Festival – set with an amazing stage, screens, lights, star-studded appearances, and a beautiful backdrop at the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel – was undoubtedly an affair to remember for Signiant. Not only was the setting fit for the most glamorous of events, it was attended by some of the industry’s most impressive leaders, some of whom we work with today and others that we hope to work with in the future. We are honored to have participated in the event, and so thrilled to be chosen for this year’s Deluxe Outstanding Technical Achievement Award.
