Zuora Partners With Leeyo to Streamline the Complexities of Revenue Recognition in the Subscription Economy

Partnership allows enterprises running on legacy ERP systems to embrace recurring revenue streams and thrive in the subscription economy

Foster City, CA – March 11, 2014

Summary:

Zuora, the subscription billing, commerce and finance leader, has joined forces with provider of next-generation revenue recognition software, Leeyo Software, to give enterprises the ability to embrace the benefits of the subscription economy without being burdened by the complexity of recurring revenue streams.

Multi-billion dollar enterprises are increasingly looking to make the shift to the subscription economy in order to grow and thrive, but monolithic ERP suites such as Oracle and SAP were not designed to handle the complex billing needs or revenue recognition rules associated with recurring revenue streams.

This partnership enables businesses in the Subscription Economy to combine these two best-of-breed solutions to augment their existing ERP system. Zuora’s order-to-cash operation delivers data relevant to revenue recognition into Leeyo’s RevPro for seamless automation of revenue recognition, further enhancing the automation that both products enable. Leeyo’s software delivers enterprise-grade revenue recognition features, scalability and reliability, a key requirement for large enterprise and, with the upcoming changes in revenue guidance is well positioned to capitalize on the opportunity.
