Starting with this year’s launch of Enterlytics v4, the latest iteration of Ei’s enterprise client product and digital dashboard will offer tailored solutions for better understanding Catalog and emerging trends.
Ei provides in-depth data from streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple, Deezer, YouTube, and Pandora, as well as insights from multiple social media and video networks.

Enterlytics v4.1, a redesigned platform, is introduced to further improve data reliability and breadth. New tools allow customers to compare products, track artists by consumption type and audience demographics, analyze information, and translate activity on social music feeds such as: tick tock and Facebook Music in marketing campaigns.
