Case Study: Imagem Music Group achieves centralized, automated global royalty administration and faster client payments with Vistex

Imagem Music Group - Customer Case Study

Imagem Music Group, the world’s largest independent music publisher with over 200,000 active works and 8,000 clients, faced the challenge of centrally administering complex global royalties across pop, classical, theatrical and production library catalogs from its London office. The company needed territory-based processing to handle older classical copyrights and heirs’ shares, while scaling to higher volumes, cutting administration costs, and ensuring timely client payments. To address this, Imagem engaged Vistex and implemented the Counterpoint Suite - iMaestro publishing administration software.

Vistex’s Counterpoint Suite - iMaestro delivered territory-based royalty processing, centralized administration, automated workflows, enhanced reporting and an online client portal. The solution enabled Imagem to process larger volumes more efficiently, reduce administrative costs and eliminate multi-period transfer delays so clients are paid in the same period income is collected, while providing detailed line‑by‑line statements and improved customer service.
