Signiant

From Signiant and the DPP: The impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the media industry - like all industries - is huge and unprecedented. One of the most immediate impacts is the need for almost every company to adopt remote working, using cloud-based tools.

Many of our customers employ both Media Shuttle along with online file sharing tools, using the latter for small in-house files. Still, at the end of the day, the bulk of content that drives the M&E industry is simply not suited for online file sharing tools, and using them can jeopardize security, productivity, and overall success.

Signiant is proud to announce that Jet — cloud-native SaaS solution for the automated transfer of large file between systems around the world — has just received the Digital Media World Gold award in cloud infrastructures and delivery.

Meet Brian Chavez! With wide-ranging sales and consulting experience, he’s helping Signiant better serve our customers, our industry, and the many businesses that our solutions impact.

As the new year approaches, there are a number of exciting M&E trends on the horizon. New competition, emerging formats and platforms, and technology advancements promise to make 2020 a dynamic and fertile year for the industry.

We got the chance to speak with our newest team member, Chris Fournelle. As a 25-year veteran of M&E, Chris has worked on incredibly influential programming, such as Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Nova! Luckily, he was willing to share all his insight with us.

Sit in on our conversation with the newest member of the Signiant team: Jens Fischer. Jens shares his thoughts on Esports, the future of media workflows, and the popularity of remote production.

Do you worry about security in the wake of major media industry hacks? Do you wonder if the content you sent has arrived at its destination? Are you pondering how to tap into a global talent pool or collaborate with partners around the world?

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."
