“Traditional applications or services do not give a real-time or accurate view of what is happening. These software or applications have a ‘window period’-to take some snap shots of the accumulated data, process it, clean the data to correlate it, and then create a consistent picture,” says Tzuo. Zuora’s product suite defies this lengthy process. Z-Business for cloud services by Zuora offers a powerful end-to-end cloud solution that delivers flexible pricing, rating and SaaS billing, managing the entire subscription lifecycle of a customer and providing real time insights into key subscription metrics. “Your customers can engage with you in so any different ways. Once you build an offer, you must be able to deploy it on your website, into the quoting engine with your salespeople, onto an iPad. You must be able to give your resellers a special web browser that they can actually use, and then you build specific rules for these channels. So this whole multi-channel way of interacting with your customers becomes really important,” adds Tzuo.

The company’s Z-Business Commerce application helps businesses develop ongoing, multi- channel relationships with their subscribers via a code-free PCI check-out pages, robust APIs, and Salesforce integration.

Their Z-Business Billing application provides industry-leading rating, invoicing, tax, and payment collections capabilities to enable growth strategies for the world’s largest subscription businesses while the Z-Business Finance application manages the complexities of accounting and revenue recognition operations for subscription businesses, by allowing finance teams to summarize their subscription transactions and create summary journal entries for their accounting close processes in any general ledger system.
