Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

The shift from physical sales to streaming exploded the volume of transaction lines from millions to billions per month. The company migrated its royalties calculation engine to a cloud data warehouse, enabling them to ingest massive streaming logs from DSPs (Spotify, Apple Music) and calculate artist payouts accurately and timely.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"A critical back-office transformation. The exponential growth of streaming micro-transactions broke legacy mainframe/on-premise SQL systems. Cloud elasticity is the only viable solution for calculating fractional penny royalties across billions of streams."

warning The Challenge

Legacy on-premise databases could not handle the scale of streaming data. Processing monthly royalty statements took weeks, with systems often crashing under the load. This delayed artist payments and made ad-hoc financial analysis impossible.

psychology The Solution

The company migrated its data warehouse to Snowflake on AWS. The separation of storage and compute allowed them to scale up processing power specifically during the end-of-month royalty calculation window, then scale down to save costs.
