  Virgin Music Virgin Records UK is the UK's leading music label and is always actively seeking new and inventive ways in which to promote its roster of artists. IDIL assisted Virgin with their promotional requirements by deploying a number of its applications, which further increased its value to its customer base. IDIL developed its ground breaking CDRD product in order to work on promotions with labels like Virgin. The system has been deployed to work on Virgin campaigns with a number of its key artists including Embrace's album 'If You've Never Been' released in September 2001 and UB40's new album 'Cover Up' released in October 2001.  The deployment was an intrinsic part of the campaigns, which included both email and SMS push to contact the artists' entire fan bases.
The CDRD product is deployed to allow an artist the maximum amount of exposure whilst offering it's fans an opportunity to consume exclusive material.
Virgin chatIDIL have been retained to develop an integrated chat service for Virgin, for deployment on some of their artist websites. It was important for Virgin that the Chat implementation was accesible to the largest number of fans possible. IDIL researched and deployed the most suitable chat software that met Virgin's this requirement together with levels of control, moderation and flexibility. The system is due for release in November 2001. |

 On 5 November 2001 Universal released Ocean Colour Scene's greatest hits album "Songs for the Front Row".  IDIL implemented CDRD as an integral element of the album's marketing, which included radio, press and TV advertising campaigns. IDIL also designed the microsite which housed the application.
Prior to the album's release fans were invited to register on the Songs for the Front Row microsite and to pre-order the album.
Immediately following the release of the album, fans were invited to access exclusive downloads and webcast material. Access to this material was only granted to those fans who had been verified, using IDIL's CDRD software application, as having a copy of the new album.

 Simply Red had a requirement to retail their own products online. IDIL were tasked with delivering a secure global shop solution that could be seamlessly merged with their existing simplyred.com website. This included sourcing the necessary hardware and integrating the required software application. In addition to ease of use and look and feel consistency with the existing website, IDIL met the client's key requirement for the shop's customers to experience an ordering process which was speedy and secure. Much weight was given to the back end systems and to their interface; IDIL's painless maintenance functionality allows the client to easily update the product range and prices of the shop as well as monitoring sales and levels of stock, among other key business indicators, through the extensive reporting utility.

IDIL have been instrumental in helping Sanctuary achieve their online goals. Asked by Sanctuary to provide them with a backend integration for the development of the Sanctuary music group website www.sanctuarygroup.com  It was vital to the client that the site was able to fully communicate Sanctuary's diverse business activities. And again it was important that the site was not only a robust solution but it was also easily updateable.
Complementing the website implementation Sanctuary asked IDIL to help them with the provision of an ecommerce application that helped increase sales of its merchandise via the web.
As well as the standard shop tools it was important that the offering
