While media asset management tools have become much more powerful, most users don’t need feature-rich, overbuilt systems or the extra effort required to install and operate. Media Engine—part of the Signiant Platform—simplifies finding and using media. Media Engine isn’t a MAM, but it has the media management tools everyone needs. Media Engine indexes all media on any Signiant-connected storage—on-prem or in the cloud. There’s no need to move or ingest the content. Once indexed, search and preview media. It’s “Google-search” simple: just type in a keyword, phrase, file type or anything else and Media Engine quickly performs a search across all your storage. Files matching the selected criteria pop up instantly in a simple interface. www.signiant.com
