Affordable

As a software-only solution where existing hardware and networks are saved, customers save up to 90% over hardware-based solutions. Product upgrades are not required to add new file formats, and minimal maintenance is required.

Easy to deploy, no IT staff required

Due to GP SIFT's ability to utilize existing infrastructure, no on-site installation is required and set up typically takes less than one hour. The solution has a user-friendly interface that minimizes the need for training.

Flexible, customizable

The GP SIFT system can be used end-to-end or piecemeal. New users and features can be plugged in over time. Users can access, manipulate, and distribute data remotely – in any format they require.

These advantages are derived from a combination of unique technologies and capabilities: flat file XML data structure, granular metadata, codec evolution design, and full proxy-editing. The GP SIFT platform is redundant, secure, open, and user-friendly.
