BURLINGTON, MA - May 12, 2014 -Signiant, the market leader in intelligent file movement software, today announced it was named a Finalist in the New Product or Service of the Year Media & Entertainment category in The 2014 American Business Awards, and will ultimately be a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Stevie Award winner in the program.

More than 3,300 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories. Signiant is nominated for Signiant SkyDrop, the first and only commercially available hybrid SaaS solution that accelerates the movement of big data and professional media files into and out of cloud storage. Unlike other acceleration offerings, Signiant SkyDrop is a genuine cloud-formed solution that leverages managed cloud infrastructure, in contrast to software that customers must deploy and manage.

Our leadership in the cloud era has enabled new use cases and delivery methods; all built on a foundation of advanced technology that has long been trusted in mission-critical applications, said Margaret Craig, CEO of Signiant. We are honored to be recognized by such a prestigious organization for SkyDrop, the latest solution built on our cloud platform, as we continue to deliver innovative cloud solutions to the market.

Finalists were chosen by more than 150 business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in April and May. More than 150 members of several specialized judging committees will determine Stevie Award placements from among the Finalists during final judging, to take place May 13-22.

The final judges have a difficult task ahead of them, to rank the Finalists, because there are so many great nominations this year, said Stevie Awards president and founder Michael Gallagher.
