Monetizing the NOW Economy: Cloud Billing for Enterprise Subscription Services

Thursday, May 19, 2016
2:00pm ET/ 11:00am PT

 

The era of subscription commerce has arrived. Companies are increasingly focused on generating recurring revenues by offering subscription-based services and business models. As the marketplace is seeing an exponential increase in the complexity of product mixes, enterprises are finding that existing transaction-based systems are unable to support the move from physical to digital goods and services. Powerful billing and revenue management capabilities are both critical and strategic for enterprises to be successful in this new age of subscription commerce.


What attendees will learn:

  • What's driving subscription commerce and what capabilities are required for the NOW economy.
  • Pathways, deployment models and considerations for cloud billing
  • How cloud billing can deliver new subscription services quickly and cost-effectively, provide real-time views of your customer base, and achieve financial compliance.

Who should attend:

  • Marketing executives looking to create profitable recurring revenue streams and develop smarter ways to price and bundle products
  • Finance executives charged with achieving Sarbanes-Oxley, GAAP and PCI compliance
  • IT executives interested in reducing costs, complexity and risks by deploying cloud based billing
