Seymour, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/01/2010 -- Big Mama Digital Entertainment, Inc., the producers of Chartbuster Karaoke, and Invicion, Inc., publisher of CompuHost software, have announced a strategic partnership between the two enterprises.
“In today’s world, it is increasingly important that we examine every opportunity for digital delivery of our top-quality karaoke tracks,” said Norbert Stovall, CEO of Chartbuster Karaoke. “By establishing a strategic partnership with the publisher of our industry’s leading hosting software, we can explore new and better ways of delivering our content to karaoke hosts.”
“After carefully evaluating the market for hosting software, it became apparent to us that Invicion, through their CompuHost product, is delivering the most complete software package to karaoke and music show hosts,” Stovall continued. “A picture emerged that Invicion and Chartbuster Karaoke could and should be partners in developing an end-to-end solution.”
The arrangement and the associated licensing is thought to be the first of its kind between a karaoke content provider and a publisher of hosting software. CompuHost has also been tapped as the hosting software solution for the Chartbuster Experience mobile road show and at Big Mama’s Karaoke Café.
“We are excited to be working together with Chartbuster Karaoke in developing a delivery platform that will pair their terrific karaoke tracks with our own top-notch hosting software,” said Glen Hughes, CEO of Invicion, Inc. “Through this partnership, both companies will be able to exploit new technologies and enjoy opportunities to reach expanded audiences.”
An integral step in the partnership is an arrangement by both companies to offer mutual retail sales of product through their websites. Beginning with the rollout of Chartbuster Karaoke’s new website on November 1, CompuHost software will be available for online sales there, and Chartbuster Karaoke tracks will likewise be sold directly through CompuHost’s site.
Invicion, Inc. was founded a decade ago by karaoke hosts for karaoke fans, hosts, and enthusiasts, and has gone on to become an innovator and a leader in the karaoke software industry, offering their advanced CompuHost software to the karaoke industry with plans to target the general public.
