| Technological advances are driving dramatic changes in the entertainment industry. Over the past several years, the music industry has been the first to see the impact of a major platform shift from the sale of physical product to digital distribution. Although this shift has generated much publicity, only now is the industry beginning to understand the implications of the change. The reality is that digital distribution will soon be the primary sales channel for music and other types of entertainment worldwide. Major players, such as Apple, Yahoo!, Microsoft and others, have now entered the market with digital distribution services. Although digital distribution has a huge potential benefit to labels, distributors and music publishers, it also presents significant challenges and barriers to growth that have never before existed. These challenges include the need to: - Manage multiple distribution partners that deliver separate reports in different formats
- Understand and maximize opportunities to sell music to different audiences through different services
- Manage a new pricing model where more units are sold, but the per unit price is significantly less
- Educate and communicate to artists these new opportunities
- Provide timely, concise, easy-to-understand royalty reports
- Manage high volumes of incoming data
