TORONTO, 15 November, 2023: Today, leading technology solutions provider, Spanish Point Technologies, and collective management organization SOCAN, are excited to announce a strategic partnership aimed at transforming the collection and distribution of performing and reproduction music rights royalties in Canada.

This collaboration brings together the expertise of Spanish Point in cutting-edge technology and digital transformation with SOCAN’s legacy of providing efficient, timely and accurate music rights and royalty services to their more than 185,000 songwriter, composer, and publisher members.

Through this partnership, Spanish Point will work closely with SOCAN to streamline various aspects of their operations, including multi-rights repertoire management, usage ingestion and matching, distribution processing and provide an interactive member portal.

Spanish Point will streamline processes and reduce customizations, resulting in better quality data and an improved experience for members.

“We are excited to embark on this transformative journey with SOCAN,” said John Corley, Spanish Point’s CTO. “Using our innovative Matching Engine product we help societies, like SOCAN, to ensure music creators and publishers are efficiently paid all the royalties they are owed while using globally established standards to process and distribute their royalties. We are delighted to engage in this project and to continue providing innovative software using the latest cloud technologies to Copyright Management Organizations.”

With SOCAN’s heightened focus on delivering even more for members, they are equally enthusiastic about this collaboration.

“Partnering with Spanish Point aligns perfectly with our vision for the future,” said Jennifer Brown, SOCAN CEO. “Their extensive knowledge and successful business operations in other global territories mean we will benefit from collaboration on best practices and evolve as an industry building better systems together, allowing SOCAN to spend more time with members and less time on systems.”

Spanish Point’s technological expertise combined with SOCAN’s member-centric strategy aims to set new standards for excellence. It is poised to deliver a new era of efficiency, accountability, and member satisfaction.
