A2IM: American Association of Independent Music

Independent IP (IIP) B.V. is a technology company headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, with offices in Paris and New York. The main objective of IIP is to build solutions & infrastructure for the music industry. The core asset of IIP is FUGA. Our goal is to give music companies the ability to control and exploit their music in a digital format. With FUGA at the heart of a music company’s operations, collaborating with partners around the world becomes easy and effective, without losing control over the rights to the music. FUGA is the only 100% web-based platform that allows artist management companies, record labels & distributors, to operate under their own brand in the marketplace. We provide a cutting edge B2B all in one content & catalog management system and delivery platform. FUGA enables content owners to create their digital music content and package it for delivery to the vast number of Digital Service Providers (DSPs) in the market space. FUGA's wide range of clients within the music industry includes over 300 online stores and services worldwide. The latest addition to IIP’s roster of services has been IIP-Digital Distribution Service (IIP-DDS), launched at Midem 2012. This service allows all FUGA clients to make use of IIP-DDS's contracts with DSPs in addition to their own direct deals they already have with DSPs. IIP-DDS can be seen as an extra service to FUGA clients and offers a flexible gateway to online stores through IIP-DDS direct deals. The goal of this service is to offer all FUGA clients a fully automated choice in global distribution management and reporting, without the legal and administrative burden of dealing with all DSPs themselves. So far, IIP-DDS has generated an enormous amount of interest from new and existing FUGA clients. IIP-DDS is already connected globally to 50 DSPs and licenses on behalf of content providers over 35.000 tracks.
