Editor's Notes
- Recurring revenue is a multi-step process offering:More customer touch pointsIncreased innovation opportunitiesLower cost of business
- Understanding that billing is just one piece of the puzzle and that with each step things can get very complicated will help you to choose the right solution for you that will help you achieve your company goals as well as meet your billing needs. And let’s face it….billing solutions must all address the same core areas. However, how a subscription billing systems helps you optimize recurring revenue and be more competitive depends on how well it addresses advanced needs of the company such as reducing revenue leakage, increasing customer profitability, ……Systems that are designed to automate key actions based on process triggers, or associate accounts and service plan in formalized hierarchies for example enable customers to avoid common customer care issues and keep focused on their business. [Note to speaker – you can add info around automated inclusions and exclusions, automated dunning to prevent revenue leakages, and universal changes to support growth and directional changes of the company]
