2. Like what you see? Let's talk

A diversified media and entertainment company operating in more than 50 countries with popular music artists and record labels faced challenges in royalty processing across systems.

Infosys implemented a global platform to consolidate finance, revenue, and royalty processing, and monetize the artists catalog.

Key Challenges

  • Lack of standardization: Legacy processes and systems were equipped for processing master data, but lacked uniform project ID formats
  • Complexity: Multiple revenue, finance, and royalty processing systems increased complexity with different processing methods within each system
  • Disparate: Multiple inbound / outbound data mechanisms used diverse extract, transform, load (ETL) interfaces

The Solution

Integrated platform consolidates revenue and royalty management

Infosys implemented a global platform to consolidate disparate legacy revenue, finance, and royalty systems.

Our team deployed Vistex for global revenue processing and artist / copyright royalty processing, and SAP S/4HANA as the global financial system.

We also built interfaces for SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) and SAP S/4HANA systems for all payments and finance transactions, and master data interfaces and new royalty interfaces across systems.

Infosys developed extract, transform, load (ETL) interfaces between SAP ECC and S/4HANA to streamline payment and financial transaction details.

We replaced the sales processing system with Vistex, and enabled master data transmission through ETL interfaces.
