Rights OutAutomation of the sales process relies on collaboration across teams. This module is designed to provide a single workflow to allow sales, finance, legal and materials delivery to communicate with each other and work with the same contract information.
Rights ManagementCapable of managing both linear and non-linear rights in the same solution, this module is designed to manage usage and opportunity in your business by integrating with scheduling systems, managing digital platforms and producing availability reporting.
Royalties ReceivableProcessing inbound royalties should not simply mean mapping and loading data. This module is designed to also audit the calculations, which helps you evaluate the accuracy of the reporting from each licensee and identify the partners adding the most value to your business.
Royalties PayableThe most flexible and configurable calculation engine will ensure you can automate the production of all of your statements (not just the easy ones), and future-proof your business against the impact of increasingly complex contract terms for royalties, participations, suppliers and talent.
Production & AcquisitionThe rights management process does not always begin with a contract. This module is designed to manage the workflow for those involved in the acquisition and development of content – from the initial concept through internal review and approvals, and then to the final handover at the contract stage.
Forecasting & PitchingTracking ongoing opportunities to estimate future potential earnings is a critical part of your business planning. This module manages all roles and stages within the sales division from budgeting and negotiation to contract execution.
Media Maestro has been successfully deployed by leading broadcasters, service providers, studios, film distributors and digital media companies, including multi-channel networks worldwide.

Amortization Sub-LedgerFull automation of the amortization process can be achieved using a solution that can support a wide range of policies and rules but still allow for adjustments when circumstances change. This module is designed to manage time, activity and revenue-based policies, and retain a complete audit trail.
Distribution & PricingDigital platforms are in constant flux — with content and price changes taking effect more rapidly than traditional channels. A deal is no longer “finished” on execution. Our flexible tools allow for term modifications without additional overhead.
Sales Sub-LedgerFinance and Accounting are critical building blocks of our solution. The finance modules ensure there is an equivalent finance function for every sales and business requirement, including revenue recognition, billing, invoice generation and cash application.
Contract WritingThere is no limit to how many contract terms you can capture. Once all the terms of your agreements are entered, that data is available to automatically generate documents such as deal memos and contract summaries.
Maestro Report WriterBeing able to extract data and produce reports is critical. Using this module, users can get to the information they need when they need it. Cataloged access to your data supports an unlimited number of reports, data queries, charts, graphs and hypercubes.
