04/03/2010eLINIA Streamlines Pan-European Infrastructure for European Online Music Industry Fixture PIAS
UK-based managed services and authorised hosting solutions provider eLINIA has delivered a complete infrastructure outsource for Play It Again Sam (www.pias.com), the European music industry's leading provider of independent label and artist services, enabling it to streamline its business across all of Europe.
According to its Wednesday announcement, the move has consolidated PIAS's infrastructure -- which initially consisted of six conflicting platforms across six different locations in Europe -- to one centralized platform in the UK.
PIAS chief information officer Mal Allerton said the consolidation was a major project for PIAS, and since it involved all its mission-critical systems and business tools, choosing the right managed hosting partner was crucial, and he's happy with the decision to choose eLINIA.
"Moving all of our 400 employees onto one unique platform has brought the company closer together, helping us to act as a single entity, rather than six separate organisations," PIAS chief information officer Mal Allerton said in a statement. "Crucially, unifying our IT has not simply freed up our IT department's time – it has changed the way in which we operate.
eLINIA senior technical architect Bryan Evans notes that an increasing number of companies are coming to eLINIA for help consolidating unwieldy IT infrastructures, however, it also increases system performance and scalability. "We've moved PIAS to a Software-as-a-Service model, meaning that they are now on a pay-per-use business model," he said in a statement. "This also means that the company has access to a scalable infrastructure which it can increase or decrease according to demand."
The PIAS Entertainment Group represents UK and US independent labels, including the sales and distribution arm of PIAS UK and record label Wall of Sound. Over its 12 year history, PIAS UK has played an important part in the success of world renowned artists such as Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, White Stripes, Prodigy, The Strokes and Moby. PIAS currently works with emerging bands including Vampire Weekend, and Reverend and the Makers.
