Media SAP Artist Management Case Studies
SAP Royalty Engine Migration for Streaming Provider
Client: A mid-market streaming media company with 1,200 employees and $150M ARR, serving 5M daily active users.
Challenge: The client's legacy Media SAP Artist Management system could not scale with subscriber growth, causing royalty payment delays of 20+ days. Manual reconciliation between streaming logs and artist contracts resulted in frequent disputes and audit risks.
Solution: Smartbrain.io assembled a team of 2 SAP architects and 5 developers to implement a new royalty engine on SAP S/4HANA. The engagement included a 4-week discovery phase, followed by 10 weeks of agile development. We integrated SAP with the client's AWS-based streaming data lake using SAP BTP Integration Suite, automating usage-based payouts.
Results: The new system reduced royalty processing time from 20 days to 3 days. The client achieved 100% traceability on 50TB of usage data and realized a 2.8x ROI within the first year through operational savings.

The project scope included building a custom "Rights Vault" module and integrating it with Salesforce for CRM data. The delivery followed a fixed-price model over 14 weeks.
Results: The agency eliminated 100% of expired-license incidents post-go-live. Automated alerts reduced legal review workload by 30%. The project was delivered on budget with a 6-month hypercare period that resolved 98% of issues within 24 hours.

Artist Merchandising Integration for Retail Chain
Client: A large retail chain with 800 stores and $2B annual revenue, selling exclusive artist-branded merchandise.

Solution: Smartbrain.io implemented a tailored Media SAP Artist Management module to handle multi-tier royalty structures. A team of 6 engineers migrated data from legacy SQL servers using SAP Migration Cockpit, validating 1.4M historical records. We configured automated workflows to trigger payments based on POS data.
Results: The solution reduced calculation errors to 0.1% and freed up the 3 FTEs for strategic analysis. The client reported $450,000 in annual savings from reduced overpayments and administrative efficiency. The go-live was achieved 1 week ahead of the 16-week schedule.
