One Media commercialises TCAT its music discovery tool with a major music distributor

One Media iP Group Plc (AIM: OMIP), a digital and technical media content provider, which consolidates, exploits and monetises intellectual property rights around music and video, is pleased to announce that it has signed its first major music distributor to utilise the services of its Technical Copyright Analysis Tool (“TCAT”).

The global music distributor will be using the TCAT services from June 2017 to monitor its weekly release schedules, monitor music conflicts and potential copyright infringements.

Following two years of development the deal will see the commercialisation of TCAT on an annual contract basis.

One Media’s move into technical services around music data and analysis is borne from its experience in handling large data sets around its own exploitation of the Group’s catalogue of rights.

Michael Infante Chairman & CEO of One Media commented:

“Confidentiality clauses in the agreement prevents us from disclosing the identity of our client and any of the commercial terms but suffice to say we are excited by having TCAT deployed as a technical resource to a major record distributor.  Whilst the revenues generated from this initial contract are modest, it is a significant development for the Company as it validates and proves the technology and demonstrates its need in the market place.

TCAT has been in development for two years as an in-house originated SaaS (Software as a Service”) product.  It is designed to search and analyse music data across multiple consumer delivery platforms and deliver forensic data and information on its client’s music exploitation globally.”
