Metaserver

Metaflow's Metaserver product suite is a flexible and extensible platform which can be expanded according to each individual customer's needs using several powerful and highly complimentary solutions within the portfolio. Metaserver can be deployed on site within a Publisher's own network or delivered as a hosted Software as a Service (SaaS) solution from Metaflow.

Submissions Warehouse and Reporting on Demand

Part of the licence options within Metaserver is a database holding the global carrier and portal information feeds which then allows for reporting on many elements. On an industry wide basis this might be reporting on all newly released devices across all 340 channels over a specific period, ideal to plan ongoing product backfill and title management into the marketplace Reports also externalise submissions statuses via a web interface for the benefit of operations, production and sales, for example; show coverage % of devices and key channel data such as revenue or priority handsets across my ten best selling applications and across our top 20 selected revenue generating sales channels.

Reports range from ultra high level for day to day performance management, down to deep granular analysis of historical submissions. Forecasting tools allow the content provider to review channel device / revenue coverage for future titles using 'projection' reports and porting lists can be auto-generated from user-defined compatibility groupings. Reporting on demand (or via scheduled reports emailed to management) is vital to maximise profitability and margins in a highly complex, high volume based business such as mobile application Publishing. Metaserver is fully extensible and also supports integration to URL redirectors to track live status on deliveries as well as an aggregation / platform ingestion and receipt capability using Metaflow Industry standard PAR format which is based on Sun Microsystems JSR 124 provisioning XML.
