COPENHAGEN, DENMARK and SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 13, 2015) - Aria Systems, the leading innovator in recurring revenue, today announced that the Falck Group, the $1.9 billion international response services enterprise, has chosen Aria's monetization platform to gain business agility, accelerate product launch time to market, and manage subscriptions to maximize revenues and product quality for its Falck Assistance Division, which operates throughout Scandinavia.
