Signiant has announced the integration of its Manager + Agents solution with the Avid Interplay | MAM system.



avid mamUsing Signiant’s proprietary transport technology, M+A is claimed to be able to move files up to 200 times faster than standard Internet transfers and protects valuable content with a comprehensive security model. The integration means that customers can initiate accelerated file transfers from within Interplay | MAM, a media asset management system that enables teams to ingest, import, manage, find and deliver media in a mixed Avid and third-party environment.

Users can initiate and monitor Signiant file transfers via the Export capability within Avid Interplay | MAM. For automated implementations, this interface is also exposed to the service bus of the Avid MediaCentral Platform.

“Avid and Signiant share many customers, and they have expressed the need to have fast file movement technology accessible from within the Avid system,” said Dana Ruzicka, chief product officer at Avid. “As a key part of our commitment to providing comprehensive, unified solutions, we made a strategic decision to integrate Signiant technology.”

“With ready access to accelerated Signiant transfers, Avid users around the globe can speed up their workflows and more easily collaborate,” added Ian Hamilton, CTO at Signiant. “We’re pleased to partner with Avid in providing this solution to the industry.”
