Attributes 273 Percent Revenue Growth to its Leading Subscription Business Platform

Foster City, Calif. – November 16, 2016 Zuora, Inc., the world’s leading provider of subscription billing, commerce, and finance solutions, today announced it was named one of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America. Zuora grew 273 percent during this period, reaching 600 employees and 800 customers.

“The rapid adoption of subscriptions by companies spanning every industry in the world is creating a once-in-a-century shift in business models that are growing much faster than some of the world’s top economic indexes,”, said Tien Tzuo, CEO of Zuora. “Recognition by Deloitte is a reflection of the tremendous accomplishments of our customers’ success in the Subscription Economy.”

“Today, when every organization can be a tech company, the most effective businesses not only foster the courage to explore change, but also encourage creativity in using and applying existing assets in new ways, as resourcefully as possible,” said Sandra Shirai, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications industry leader. “This ingenious approach to innovation calls for the encouragement of curiosity and collaboration both within and outside the office walls.”

Zuora found that subscription businesses are growing revenues nine times faster than the S&P 500 according to the Subscription Economy® Index™ (SEI). Many within its more than 800 customer base are also ranked as Fast 500 companies including Box, Coupa Software, New Relic and Zendesk.

“This year’s Fast 500 winners showcase that when organizations are open to diverse perspectives and insights, they are able to create an environment for their employees and customers to see the possibilities and ingenious solutions that might lie ahead,” added Jim Atwell, national managing partner of the emerging growth company practice, Deloitte & Touche LLP. “Entrepreneurial environments foster change and innovation within businesses, and we look forward to watching these companies continue to drive change across all sectors.”
