Content extraction and data crawling provide important value to our customers. Our latest MESLIS Releases (DetectionService, MesService and Backend) and specially the brand new “Merge Locations Workflow” set a new standard for higher quality of data on locations to the MESLIS users. The most important implementations and new features are highlighted in this summary.
Many of our customers sell volume licenses to their customers. These licenses cover a certain amount of music events per year at the particular location. Some licenses cover all type of music events some differ between licensed number of DJ events and licensed number of live music events and sometimes even a third number of background / mechanical music event. Collecting societies now use MESLIS to search and identify those locations which are under licensed. This is a very potential starting point for selling additional licenses. Find a brief description how easy this search works in MESLIS.
We celebrated 1st birthday, refreshed MESLIS start page and shipped two new MESLIS releases in February 2020. We now provide quite a few more important new features in MESLIS to our global customers. Our latest implementations in MESLIS focused on users productivity and searching, filtering and selecting the precise data for licensing. See the new look and read a list of major new features now available in MESLIS.
The last Release in 2020 again marks a large footprint in the short history of MESLIS: We introduced a new customer self service in MESLIS. Users can now reset their password, they can use a “Change password” dialog to set their own password or just define a new one. If a user has forgotten his/her password, he/she can use the “Request a password reset” feature right at the starting page of MESLIS.
Setlists are very important for our customers business. Collecting societies need to have reliable information about the songs which were performed during a concert, the artists who played and who created these songs and so on. Therefore customers asked us again and again whether it is necessary to automatically crawl, extract and provide data on setlists within MESLIS. Today we are very proud to announce that we have made a first step to fulfill this strong requirement: We have just released the new Setlist Feature within MESLIS.
During the last weeks of MESLIS development we strongly focused on some minor new features, improving user experiences, users productivity and bugfixes. This period of consolidation was very good for the application and our development team after having released two major releases before: Release 2.x with Location Search and Release 3.x with Shared Leaflets. To learn more about these two features read the according blog posts. The new version of MESLIS today however comes with a new Export feature which is slightly different to the already existing Export Routine.
Today the next big development step of MESLIS has been finished and released: We introduce our new Collaborative Customer Leaflets also called Shared Leaflets. This provides an absolutely new dimension to our customers: Users can now work with MESLIS in close cooperation in teams. They can create their own leaflets, share them with their team members and select jointly their leads onto these shared leaflets for later processing and exporting.
The big jump from Release 1.x to Release 2.x symbolizes an important development and great new feature in MESLIS. We are happy to announce the brand new “Location Search” in our Music-Event-System-Location-Ident-System. From today on it is possible to search either for specific Events but also and separately for specific locations within MESLIS. These are two major search approaches of our customers – Event Search / Location Search. A third approach – searching for specific organizers – will in 2020 be implemented in MESLIS.
MESLIS Release 1.6 brings a significant relief to all network administrators working for our customers: MESLIS is now able to use any default https port so there is no longer any need to configure specific ports, change network or security configuration or even to install anything on the customer side. MESLIS comes as a pure Software-as-Service (SaaS) or Cloud-Application to all users on the customer side. The users receive the URL, their user name and password and start working with MESLIS immediately.
In our continuous development of MESLIS WebApp during the last couple of weeks we set a strong focus on artist detection, event tags, data matching and key performance indicators.
MESLIS clients, collecting societies worldwide often need to know what artists performed on particular events to define the right license and correct amount of invoice for licensing those events. Some collecting societies even provide scores to individual artists to rank them. The web content extraction feature of MESLIS from now on automatically identifies and extracts all artist names from any digital, text based event description. These artist names are listed for sorting, searching, filtering and processing within a certain column and field in MESLIS WebApp. All users can search and filter for those artists and even select from an individually defined range of artist scores.
After launching our new MESLIS WebApp in February, the first release in March brought some minor bug fixes and a list of new features to our customers. Those features pretty much focused on improving the table view and event search in MESLIS. With the second release in March we introduced additional filtering opportunities, a re-design of the detail view of events and we improved the performance of loading pages within MESLIS WebApp.
On February 11th 2019 deecoob has launched release 1.0.0 of the brand new MESLIS WebApp. MESLIS – Music-Event-System-Location-Ident-System (www.meslis.com) is a search engine and web monitoring solution tailored for global Collecting Societies. From today on all international customers can use MESLIS as Cloud based Software Application. There is no need for any local installation on the customer side. Just use a browser, login at https://app.meslis.com and start increasing your licensing business.
