We’ve written a lot about the Subscription Economy and what’s required to build and run a successful subscription business. As the market shifts to delivering recurring services and innovative delivery models, massive growth opportunities exist for companies ready to transform their businesses.

This paper details 4 challenges among enterprises in the shift to digital:

-
Implementing new systems

As a result, companies need platforms that bolster their backend legacy ERP systems to enable continuous business model innovation centered on the recurring customer relationship.
