Early on, Codesion Cloud Services wanted to launch a new service that would be usage tiered, called Professional Edition, designed for companies embarking on mission critical development in the cloud. But as they began to build this offer, they realized a different pricing model based on users and usage was surpassing what their utility based billing infrastructure could support. Codesion Cloud Services was ultimately transforming from a utility pricing model to a subscription pricing model and recognized that without having the right billing infrastructure in place, they would spend more time on their billing than they would actually delivering their service.
Codesion Cloud Services did their due diligence evaluating a number of solutions. However, when it came down to decision making, Codesion Cloud Services was attracted by Zuora’s proven background & Salesforce pedigree, expertise in the Subscription Economy and our clear commitment to our customers.
Prior to becoming a Zuora customer, their in-house billing engine exhausted upwards of 25% of their development and road map time. For an innovative technology company, you need to be building out your core competency, not wasting time and resources on figuring out how to bill for it. With Zuora, Codesion Cloud Services was able to refocus on what they do best - helping developers build great software, not manage a complex back-office.
Essentially, Zuora changed how Codesion Cloud Services was able to deliver services to their customers. Whether Codesion Cloud Services wanted to price by utility, users, or service level, they are able to leverage the flexibility and speed behind Zuora’s leading subscription commerce platform to provision a range of pricing plans based around what resonated not only with their current customers based, but new markets as well.
Codesion Cloud Services provides an enterprise-grade, cloud development and deployment platform delivering best in class services to over 3800 customers and 75,000 users across 90 countries.
