There is a fast-growing shift to the subscription economy. Customers today demand more products and services via the cloud, such as cloud-based software solutions, computing power, telecom services, travel services, digital media and content, textbooks, and much more. This shift is requiring businesses to adopt fundamentally different business models and new infrastructures to manage high-volume recurring and hybrid revenue models with any combination of one-time charges, subscription, usage-based and tiered charges as well as virtual goods and currencies. As the leading provider of enterprise-class cloud ERP solutions for divisions of large enterprises and mid-sized organizations, NetSuite has given these companies that have adopted new business and revenue models the power of managing the new revenue models resulting from the new subscription economy. Public software companies such as RightNow and Cornerstone OnDemand and private software companies such as KANA, Host Analytics, Eloqua and Splunk rely on NetSuite’s cloud ERP solutions to run their key business processes, such as order-to-cash, subscription renewals, billing, financial reporting, revenue recognition and professional services automation.
