Technology Modernization Milestones
Migration of Our Largest Customer:
The Company's first milestone was the previously outlined migration of its largest enterprise customer onto the new platform. This customer's migration started in April 2023. This initiative represented the most complex technical component of the transition. Its completion materially reduced technical debt and ongoing support requirements.
Launch of MTR™ (Q4 2024):
In late 2024, the Company launched a new technology, MTR™, a new platform targeting the large and growing radio airplay tracking market. While revenues remain modest, MTR has validated demand within its early target market, established some early adoption, and created a customer foundation.
Competitive solutions have emerged in this space, and the Company is focused on increasing market share. Importantly, the combination and insights between the MTR™ and Play MPE® platforms is unique in the market. MTR™ enables cross marketing opportunities, provides data-driven insights that enhance Play MPE®'s value proposition and provides opportunities to compare promotional campaign metrics and airplay outcomes. The Company is evaluating several initiatives to capitalize on its current penetration and expand into broader markets.
List Management Sunset (Q3 2025):
The Company's legacy list management module-responsible for the vast majority of Play MPE's revenue-has been fully rebuilt and replaced the legacy environment in April 2025. This milestone represents the final phase of retiring the old PC-based environment and consolidating all core revenue generating workflows onto the modern platform.
List management remains a core differentiator for Play MPE®, enabling the precise connection management required by record labels globally. With the new system, the Company can scale its product offering more efficiently while reducing operating costs.
Self-Service and Checkout Enhancements (Q4 2025):
In 2025, the Company introduced full self-signup and checkout capabilities, bringing true self-service to the platform for the first time. These enhancements reduce onboarding friction, streamline customer adoption, and position the Company for more scalable, lower-touch growth.
With the modernization program complete, the Company can focus on sales and marketing execution, supported by significantly lower platform development costs. Play MPE® remains the largest and most globally adopted platform of its kind, offering major international labels meaningful cost efficiencies in their promotional workflows, while providing smaller labels, artists, and promoters an unprecedented opportunity to achieve comparable promotional reach and effectiveness.
