Intelligent file transfer specialist Signiant is updating its Jet software-defined content exchange SaaS platform, aimed at simplifying secure content exchange between companies.

The new functionality, automating and accelerating the transfer of large files between geographically dispersed locations, enables Jet customers to make storage endpoints private, discoverable or discoverable only to select partners in their supply chain.

Via a secure web interface, companies can request a connection with a partner. Once both sides accept, specific jobs can be configured and mutually approved to allow for secure, automated transfers between the companies. Jet’s simple, predictable pricing model makes it accessible to companies of all sizes and enables easy cost sharing for intercompany content exchange.

Targeted at "lights-out" use cases, Jet meets the growing need to replace scripted FTP and legacy transfer tools. Jet is built on Signiant's innovative SDCX SaaS platform, which also underpins the company's Media Shuttle solution.

“Signiant has long been the trusted broker for content exchange between many of the world’s top media companies,“ said Rick Clarkson, chief strategy officer at Signiant. “With this new capability, companies of all sizes will be able to cross-connect and exchange content in an easy, automated fashion. Best of all, because of Signiant’s massive footprint, we’ve essentially prepopulated the supply chain for our customers, so they can much more easily set up transfer jobs with all their partners, regardless of size. That’s the true power of our SaaS platform -- it brings advanced, enterprise capabilities, but right-sized and priced for any size company.”
