Catalog value chain E02: Getting data ingestion right
21 Oct, 2026
Getting data from royalty statements and other sources into one place provides a foundation for catalog diligence, collections and reporting. But which ingestion approach is right for your business?
In the second episode of our Catalog Value Chain series, our CEO Tom Mullen breaks down the options and trade-offs, whether you need to get up and running quickly or want greater flexibility, ownership and control.
He explains:
- How ETL and ELT differ, and what that means for the data you keep and how you can use it.
- Where industry-specific tools, low-code solutions and engineering-focused platforms fit.
- How to match your approach to your objectives, existing systems, data sources, team and budget.
- Why ongoing maintenance, ownership and control need to be part of the decision.
