Client
Our client, a major player in the music licensing, publishing, and distribution landscape, administers a vast catalog of creative assets. Operating on a global scale, the enterprise frequently acquires new companies, fostering a culture that preserves the autonomy of each while seeking a cohesive technological framework.
Challenge
Despite its prominent footprint, the enterprise faced a landscape of various software tools performing similar tasks across different departments and locations, causing inefficiencies and overlaps. The task was to first uncover all inefficiencies in their diverse processes, from client services to licensing to income tracking, and then prioritize them based on their impact on operations. This process intelligence was vital to propel growth and seamlessly integrate new acquisitions with diverse operations and geographies.
Solution
Facing a complex network of processes, we assembled a data-driven blueprint of the client's publishing operations. We conducted detailed discussions with nearly 100 team members to pinpoint 46 business processes and sub-processes. Our thorough approach included developing a Confluence space where each process was meticulously documented and diagrammed and made accessible to the client’s team. As a result, our experts created a comprehensive registry that includes publishing-related documents, partners, and software systems. This registry is specifically designed to streamline future integrations and optimize workflow efficiency at scale.
