Unlike a decade ago, subscription-based billing models have become a common strategy. Subscription-based billing gives consumers a cost-effective and convenient way to take advantage of goods and service offerings. They get the ease and convenience of regularly needed goods and services paid for, ordered and delivered without the time and effort that they used to have to expend. For businesses, it provides a steady and predictable revenue stream from recurring fees, and they gain new possibilities when it comes to innovatively packaging and pricing offerings to maximize speed-to-market, revenue and customer satisfaction.
In 2000 Salesforce.com® disrupted the entire software industry with its per-user, per-month pricing model. Today this is a standard offering for most software providers, and a growing multitude of businesses of all kinds are shifting from transactional sales to recurring revenue models. What’s more, consumers are growing more accustom to “pay only for what you consume” options like utility usage or mobile phone plans. Businesses are being forced to re-think their go-to-market strategies even further. Industry-leading enterprise organizations are looking beyond the simple subscription model to a subscription offer with consumption-based services added on top of it.
