EMI Music Publishing – V4 Production Music search system

EMI Production Music is the longest established production music supplier in Australia and New Zealand and its’ music has been used in some of this region’s most recognised TV programs, promos, commercials, films and new media. EMI’s massive production music collection features works from leading commercial songwriters, games composers and world famous film soundtrack composers, amongst others.

When EMI decided to launch a new portable hard-drive-based application with advanced features that the existing architecture could not provide, they approached Intergy to investigate the optimal solution.
