Signiant’s Content Transporter software is aimed at enterprises with 5 to 15 locations that need the central management of content transfers. Content Transporter connects both internal and external partner sites to facilitate simple collaboration and content exchange. When deployed, a managed B2B content network is created with simple automated movement, ensuring all transfers are centrally managed, monitored and reported. Content Transporter is ideally suited for use during the production, capture or creation of content where multiple sites need to exchange data fast, secure and reliably with tight business deadlines.
