Case Study: PRS for Music achieves faster royalty data processing with Microsoft Corporation Azure and Power BI

PRS for Music turn up their capabilities with Azure

PRS for Music needed a way to process and match massive volumes of music usage data from platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music so it could accurately pay royalties to more than 125,000 members. The organization turned to Microsoft Corporation, using Azure and Power BI to capture, transform, validate, and present its data at scale.

Microsoft Corporation’s Azure Data Lakes and Azure Data Warehouses helped PRS for Music scale up and down quickly based on demand, while Power BI improved visibility and analysis. The impact was dramatic: the time to load and match a Spotify file dropped from 20 days to just 11 minutes, enabling faster, more efficient royalty processing and a better cost profile.
