Case Study: Harbor Picture Company achieves fast, scalable global media file transfers with Signiant Media Shuttle

Harbor Picture Company Upgrades to Signiant Media Shuttle to Support Expanding Global Production Business

Harbor Picture Company, a leading New York post‑production house whose credits include Game of Thrones, St. Vincent and Into the Woods, was struggling to move ever‑larger media files between five NYC offices and a growing global roster of clients and partners. Existing tools—internal FTP, consumer file‑sharing and first‑gen accelerators—were unfriendly, unreliable with 4K and multi‑hundred‑GB assets, and costly to maintain and scale.

Harbor implemented Signiant’s Media Shuttle, a hybrid SaaS file‑movement solution, to simplify account setup, improve security and speed transfers. The result: reliable, low‑maintenance transfers of files up to 500 GB, faster collaborative workflows across distributed teams, and a scalable platform that supports simultaneous global productions with major studios and networks.
