2. “As a smaller company that works with very large
media enterprises, Loft London relies on solutions
that are powerful and yet cost-effective and
fit-for-purpose—and Signiant is the perfect fit
for our requirements. Many solutions make
promises about workflow automation, security, and
speed of delivery, but Signiant is one of the few that
delivers a product that works exactly as promised.”

3. “Signiant transport and automation systems are
well-known in the industry as a fast and efficient
means of content transfer with little or no
restrictions on file size—and it is many times
more secure and efficient than using FTP.”

4. “Many of the international partners we work
with are already users of Signiant technology,
so the decision to create our Signiant-based
ecosystem in Scandinavia makes good sense
in regional terms.”

5. “With Signiant, we’ll be able to help our clients
maximize the revenue potential of their movies
and other programs by speeding the distribution of
foreign language versions to the worldwide market.”

6. “Signiant not only integrated seamlessly with
our existing technologies but they also had all
the right relationships with key channel partners
and common tool sets that we use to manage a
lot of our workflows. They know the media
industry and what it needs.”

7. “Signiant’s content distribution management
software 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.”

8. “We evaluated several hardware and software
vendors to find a tool that would help us manage
and accelerate the transfer of digital content from
one coast to the other. With Signiant, we found a
proven software-based solution that not only
provides us with WAN acceleration, but the ability to
intelligently allocate bandwidth, and centrally
manage, track and approve file transfers. Signiant
serves as the foundation of our bi-coastal digital
media production strategy.”

9. “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.”

10. “Signiant has the cutting-edge technology and
functionality we need to run our global business,
where other systems we looked at fell short.
We wanted a platform that was accepted by the
industry, and we feel secure knowing that so many
broadcasters and studios are already using Signiant.
We carried out a full evaluation and decided to make
the investment to implement Signiant as our digital
file distribution platform.”

11. “Signiant made one of our most difficult tasks easier—
getting the content to the right place at the right
time, enabling us to focus on other tasks on this
very important project. We could not hit these tight
deadlines without Signiant. A typical dubbing
reference package is roughly 10 GB. With Signiant, we
were seeing speeds of less than thirty minutes
around the world, which is huge - nobody else can
touch that right now.”

12. “Signiant provided us with a very comprehensive
suite of products to automate our transfer of
material, optimise the use of available bandwidth
and improve our workflow. The increased volume of
traffic can be very effectively handled for little
incremental cost.”

13. “NBC Universal has a rich history of technical
innovation in media, and to have this project
recognized amongst our international peers is a
fantastic tribute. The Micah project is an outstanding
example of how the close partnership between
users and vendors can turn powerful technology
into real-world benefits, and we could not have
accomplished this without the exceptional efforts
of Digital Rapids and Signiant.”

14. “The Signiant installation saves us time in two ways:
firstly by sending content over secure ftp instead of
by courier, and secondly by enabling us to free up
staff from carrying out repetitive tasks which allows
us to redeploy them more productively. We are
poised to enable new revenue streams by sending
content to emerging IPTV, Mobile and Over-The-Top
services by tailoring the content to meet individual
format requirements.”

15. “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.”

16. “Prior to Signiant, we had a homegrown system
that simply moved files, without any management
or tracking, with Signiant, we have a solution that
saves us time and provides peace of mind that all
of the digital and video files we are distributing—
for editing, broadcast or archiving—have reached
the desired location safely and fully intact.
Additionally, Signiant’s support staff has exceeded
our expectations with a professional team
ensuring PBS’ success.”

17. “The ability to quickly and easily move digital media
files into and out of South Africa with Signiant has
made the country as a whole a more attractive
location to shoot feature films. We’ve used Signiant’s
CDM software to transfer feature films like Blood
Diamond and Free Willy 3 and have been extremely
happy with its file acceleration and management
features.”

18. “In an increasingly competitive market, the ability to
cut costs while simultaneously improving our service
is a terrific advantage. Signiant’s Content Distribution
Management software covers all our requirements.
It will eradicate our reliance on tapes and physical
media for content delivery, greatly reduce transport
costs and enable faster delivery of content.”

19. “Signiant’s technology was a key asset to the
production of Universal’s ‘Bourne Ultimatum,’
allowing our production units to seamlessly and
securely move content between shooting locations
and post-production houses.”

20. “We evaluated a number of file acceleration
technologies, but what made Signiant really stand
out is its central management system and its ability
to intelligently allocate bandwidth. We view Signiant
as a strategic partner that will help In-Three achieve
its long term goals and optimize the workflow
automation and asset management system that's
integral to our patented process.”

21. “Signiant integrates seamlessly with our Avid post
production tools as it enables sharing of sequences
for quick turnaround to air.”

22. “Our aim was to have a completely automated
workflow, to unify processes and have a single
point of configuration and management. The
Signiant installation has streamlined our operations
and enabled us to manage our resources much
more efficiently.”

23. “One of the unique benefits which Signiant is bringing
is the ability for us to build and manage automated
network aware file-based workflows. Our file-based
workflow operations will involve digital collaboration
with other suppliers and partners, it means we to
build workflows that are aware not only of all the
networks available to Five but can also prioritise the
assets accordingly.”

24. “BT and Signiant are working together to
produce business based integrated workflow
and distribution solutions which take our clients
headaches away. Media companies globally need
to focus on the creation, production and distribution
of great content to as many consumers in as many
formats, and in as many places as possible. The
mechanics of how to do that are a distraction which
we are delighted to take on as a service to our
clients.”

25. “Microsoft has worked with Signiant to deliver the
highest quality online video for NBC’s coverage of
the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, Signiant’s
support of back end content was a key component in
the delivery of Olympic footage to the Silverlight
player.”
“With hundreds of highlights and more than a
thousand hours of coverage, we needed an efficient
workflow to bring the Games to Olympic fans,
Signiant has been a critical partner in making this
process fast and error-free.”
