The media and entertainment industry is rapidly evolving. From the rise of online streaming to the demand for higher and higher quality files—can you imagine thinking 8K was on the horizon even 5 years ago—the realities of the business are changing, and organizations need to be sure to adapt.

Signiant is excited to welcome Xavier Gentric to our EMEA team as the new Territory Sales Manager, based in France! This past week we had the chance to connect with Xavier to discuss his understanding of the media and entertainment landscape and its current trajectory.

Michael Darer, the new content marketing manager at Signiant, shares what brought him (back) to Signiant. "With keen attention to the changing needs of one of the biggest and most dynamic industries in the world, Signiant has striven to understand the nuances and the challenges that media creators and distributors face to bring the content we love to our homes, theatres, mobile devices and beyond."

Like all Signiant products, Jet is designed to move large data sets far and fast. But with Jet, Signiant introduced an entirely new patent-pending transport that adds a layer of intelligence to determine how to achieve the highest possible speed in any environment.

The demand for content across platforms, devices and regions continues to grow, adding complexity - and opportunity - across the global media supply chain. It is this that led to the development of the IMF standard and its growing adoption by major studios and broadcasters worldwide.

The rise of global cross-company partnerships has created the need for new business strategies based in ecosystem models, and the software that supports them.

This week, Signiant has released version 14.0 of Manager+Agents, which addresses key areas such as the ability to work on files while they’re still growing, performance improvements, and important security fixes.

We’re excited to welcome Bill Thompson, an industry veteran with decades of accumulated wisdom, to help guide the next phase of Signiant’s evolution.

The popularity of OTT content remains unabated, driving innovation in not only consumer viewing experiences but the way media and entertainment companies create and deliver content.

Choosing large file transfer and sharing software that is storage independent is critical for media businesses with multiple storage types.
