Case Study
Online Module For Music And Video Distribution Company
Client
The client is an independent music and video distribution, marketing, and sales company that works with independent artists, labels, and other content providers to distribute content to hundreds of digital and mobile outlets worldwide, as well as physical retailers in North America and Europe.
Executive Summary
The client wanted a module on which the vendors are given access to their website. Subsequently, the vendors will add rights to the video/audio from their associated artists and account for their pay based on the transaction post-sales. The module should handle huge volumes of data and facilitate uniform distribution.
Synergy technology services being a pioneer in providing business-critical applications was entrusted with the task of providing a solution that was in line with changing trends and fast-paced industry developments.
Technology
- PHP – Zend Framework, ORM doctrine.
Solution
The client is a global player in the music and entertainment industry and had to cater to a large pool of vendors who purchases the rights of individual artists and uploads the content on the client’s web pool. These rights are then shared with large e-commerce players for distribution. The post-sale transaction has to be logged at the vendor’s end and the payment has to be processed accordingly.
- Developed and deployed web-based services to facilitate the client’s web portal to handle huge volumes of data and handle large vendor requests.
- Enable the vendors to process the payments/royalty to the contributing artists without hassles.
- Customize the modules as and when the requirement changes.
