the team had to perform code changes to the Signiant agent interface.

In order to accommodate requests coming in from the external systems for additional preferences like save the download location, close the transfer window when all transfers are complete, etc. Signiant is licensed per user, hence as our user base grows, costs grow proportionally. There were other issues coming in from the users due the lack of support by Signiant for older operating system environments. The code had to be tuned to support the latest Java released for the supported browsers. As a result, every release of the next version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) had problems with the Ingestion and download interfaces in few of the browsers. The major drawback of the Signiant agent was its dependency on the JRE. The application client had the Signiant agent integrated to the DAM system for performing the asset ingestions and downloads. It delivers petabytes of high-value data every day between users, applications and systems with proven ease. Signiant is one among the File transfer agents which helps the major content creators and distributors ensure fast, secure delivery of large files over public and private networks. Hence DAM systems interface third party transfer clients for the secure and speed transfer of their files. These are adequate for small files but cannot handle massive volume of assets. The various DAM systems in the market use inbuilt HTTP and FTP to handle their file transfers. Secure file transfer has become the business essential in any DAM system as Ingestion and Retrieval are the core processes that surround a digital asset. Digital Asset Management (DAM) System is used for ingestion, annotation, storage, transcode, retrieval and distribution of digital assets.
