Rockbuster Story

Overview

Rockbuster Stealth LLC is a movie rental company that used to have stores around the world. Currently, it is facing stiff competition from streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime.


Objective

Planning to use its existing movie licenses to launch an online video rental service in order to stay competitive.

Key Questions:
  • PostgreSQL
  • Tableau
  • DbVisualizer
  • Extracting ER diagrams in DBVisualizer
  • PostgreSQL RDBMS
  • CRUD operations
  • Database migration and ETL
  • Cleaning, filtering and summarizing data in SQL
  • Joining tables
  • subqueries and CTE
  • Visualizations






Recommendation

  • Rockbuster has 600 customers in 109 countries. It is a great opportunity to grow as an online service. Next step would be to introduce a subscription-based rental program; however, further analysis is required to plan to find the most effective monthly fee to beat the competitors.

  • To start the pilot service, we would recommend the top-3 revenue makers, which are the following countries: India, China, and the US.

  • We suggest the marketing team to provide promotions within popular countries with highest number of customers; India, China, the United States, Japan, and Mexico.

Challenges and Limitations

Complicated database structure and dependencies which lead to complex SQL queries which are prone to error.
