Our business depends on systems that allow us to connect seamlessly with our clients and transfer large, high-value media assets as quickly as possible, in order to maintain tight delivery schedules, said Simon Kay, managing director of JCA. We adopted Signiant at the request of several of our clients, as it offers the flexibility and managed security we need to accelerate delivery of digital material, without having to deal with the delays involved in tape shipments.

JCA provides a full range of services for digitizing, formatting, creating and delivering content for many of the most recognizable names in the broadcasting and cinema production industries. With Signiant agents installed in their own environments, JCA clients are able to exchange large media files with the JCA facility within minutes. The system's B2B content peering technology enables JCA and its clients to extend their own, internal network security policies across enterprise boundaries to enable a highly secure and seamless flow of content.

The Signiant solution is perfect for media service providers such as JCA, who has established a stellar reputation not only for top-quality results but the ability to respond nimbly to its customers' requirements. By enabling fast, reliable and secure movement of large media files over a WAN, Signiant is playing an important role in helping JCA meet its own high standards, said David Nortier, Signiant's managing director, EMEA.
