Under the new system, customized web page will be created for companies with the company name and logo and uploaded to their server and the client would be informed by way of mail and SMS every time a new clip pertaining to them is uploaded.

EMR Managing director Raman Iyer says, "The cost of monitoring media by opting for webpage solution has brought down the average cost for users to as low as Rs 50 per clip almost 70-80 per cent lower than the conventional mode. Further, the format of clips in web based option can be undertaken as per clients‘ choice and are palatable to viewing on mobile phones".

Moreover, web clips are uploaded on a daily basis for immediate viewing and it has a grid and can be customised as per the client‘s requirement, e.g. by day, channel, program, personalities, topic, date of telecast, duration and clips can be viewed or downloaded.

Further, in order to insulate the client‘s website from security and storage of their media clips, EMR has recently launched a web portal termed Newskhazana.com to facilitate uploading of media clips for their websites.
