A collaboration tool launched on Monday is designed to ease the distribution of large files for enterprises.
Ignite Technologies Inc. of Dallas introduced its Ignite Communicator service, which aims to deliver any type of digital content such as video, graphical presentations and software to users regardless of their networking or computer capacity.
Ignite Communicator, for example, could help an enterprise reach mobile users connecting over less reliable networks or to partners or customers with varying levels of access, Ignite officials said.
Ignite is touting Ignite Communicator as a service-based alternative to content delivery networks or management software that requires capital investments.
The service is already being run by professional services firms, financial services companies, retail establishments and pharmaceutical companies in such functions as executive communications, sales and marketing, and training and development, the company said.

The delivery of files is conducted in the background in order to leave PC and networking performance unaffected. The service also provides security and reporting and tracking options to meet enterprise requirements, announced Ignite.
Ignite Communicator is available now and runs on Windows systems. The service is typically deployed at least 10,000 seats and pricing starts at about $50 to $60 per seat, company officials said.
