Problems Remote and Distributed Teams Face

Whether working with a freelancer at home or a partner company thousands of miles away, challenges arise when working outside your facility. Which of the following are holding you back?

Long Distances

As companies tap the global talent pool, the effect of distance on team members extends beyond physical separation. As distances grow, network latency increases, exponentially slowing standard internet transfers. This latency also increases the likelihood of file corruption resulting in delays from the need to resend files.

Network Stability & Performance

Inconsistent internet quality can strain remote teams, impacting deadlines and testing patience due to fluctuating speeds and frequent transfer interruptions. Network disruptions often require manual monitoring and restarts, distracting staff from their primary tasks and reducing overall efficiency.

Operations Management

With managing distributed teams, significant operational challenges arise, particularly in onboarding and offboarding users, tracking activities, and handling permissions. Traditional tools often place the burden on IT departments, leading to inefficiencies, slowed operations, and bottlenecks. These additional workloads can overwhelm IT teams with routine tasks that divert attention from more critical issues.

Security Concerns

Work-from-home presents significant security concerns for media companies, especially when transferring files. Encrypting data in transit is crucial to prevent unauthorized access, as home networks are often less secure than in-office setups. Using consumer-grade file-sharing services can lead to a loss of control over sensitive content, as these services often move files from customer storage to their own. Additionally, weak authentication practices can increase the risk of unauthorized access.

Time/Cost-Wasting File Transfers

Remote users spending time to send and download media solely to preview, verify or use a portion of a file waste valuable time, delaying workflows and reducing the time available for content creation, especially under tight deadlines. Cloud downloads that turn out to be incorrect are even costlier, incurring egress charges that further hinder productivity and significantly diminish the benefits of remote work.

IT Blind Spots

When partners, freelancers and remote teams each have their own methods and control for moving content, it can result in chaos and lead to a shadow IT environment. This fragmentation hinders the ability to manage access, centralize notifications and track chain-of-custody reports. As a result, IT faces increased support issues, complex problem-solving and higher costs, compromising the security and efficiency of the entire ecosystem.

Benefits of Using Signiant for Remote & Hybrid Collaboration

Eliminate Latency

Eliminate Latency Over Long Distances

Signiant’s proprietary transport protocol overcomes latency challenges to deliver files quickly over long distances. This Emmy award-winning acceleration technology can transfer any size file or data setup to 100 times faster than traditional methods.

Network Stability

Overcome Network Stability & Performance

Using machine learning, the Signiant Platform’s intelligent transport architecture optimizes file transfers by analyzing millions of previous transfers and network conditions, informing future transfers for improved speed and efficiency. Additionally, checkpoint restart enhances reliability by enabling transfers to seamlessly resume after network interruptions without staff resources.

Delegated Admin

Delegated Administration

With Signiant Media Shuttle, customers can set up as many custom portals as they like, each with its own administrators. This enables media operations teams to manage all day-to-day tasks without IT intervention, including adding and removing users, customizing portals and permissions, and viewing both real-time and historical transfer information.

Security

Alleviate Security Concerns

Signiant enhances security for remote and dispersed teams with a multi-layered protection approach, including strong encryption for data transfers, secure cloud communications and strict authentication and access controls. Technologies like Transport Layer Security (TLS) ensure your media files are protected during transfers. The Signiant Platform undergoes routine audits by a leading third-party infosec firm, ensuring content is always secure.

Save Time & Money

Reduce Time/Cost-Wasting File Transfers

Signiant Media Engine offers features like search, view and clipping, along with functionality like CloudSpeX and revoke a transfer, to help prevent the use or transfer of incorrect files. These tools allow users to verify the content before sending or using it, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring that only the correct media is utilized.
