Island Records and Notting Hill implement Music Gateway’s new Private Network Software

Music Gateway has developed a new project management solution - with Island Records Dance and Notting Hill Publishing among its founding clients as well as working closely with labels such as Sire Records, a subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

The Private Network offers a highly functional and secure project management system to be used in-house at music companies and beyond.

"The collaborative nature of dance music means that I always have a number of records and projects in development with artists not just in the UK but around the world,” said founding client and A&R Consultant at Island Records, Dave Lambert.

“Tracking the progress of these projects and the individual processes are essential, and managing my network as a whole is top priority. With Music Gateway I have my own closed network that I control, so I can make this happen in a much more effective way, saving myself heaps of time.”

Each Private Network is modular and flexible, with features including: unlimited usage and network growth; unlimited file sizes, back up and storage; branded private networks and project management systems; mobile optimisation; worldwide access; collaboration and remote working tools.

A number of new features have also been added to the whole Music Gateway platform including, video timeline feedback function, ability to upload and manage any file type within the workspace, and assign meta-data to all files.

“The concept for the Private Network was triggered after Music Gateway was approached by a notable publishing company who were looking for a secure and functional, private project management tool,” said Music Gateway CEO Jon Skinner.

“The problems that were initially underlined included missed or lost communications and the need to constantly check multiple software resources when working on projects – resulting in far too much time being consumed.

“There has not yet been an all-in-one solution to fully manage a project from start to finish in the marketplace until now.”

The public hub of Music Gateway, which has seen a 300% user base growth since launch, is an online business platform that connects talent with music projects. Users can seek or offer a range of services from songwriting to production, accountancy to tour management and much more. Once connected, Music Gateway members can use the platform to collaborate on a project from conception to completion and payment using powerful file management and workspace tools in browser.
