IDC MarketScape Names Aria Systems a Global Leader for Worldwide Subscription Relationship Management

Aria’s Recognition in Comprehensive Industry Report on Subscription Management Market Marks its Second Leadership Positioning among Analysts in 2017


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aria Systems, the leader in helping enterprises grow subscription- and usage-based revenue, today announced that it has been named a Global Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Subscription Relationship Management (SRM) 2017 Vendor Assessment1.

This is the second time this year that a prominent analyst firm has named Aria a Leader in its market space. Earlier in 2017, Forrester Research named Aria a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Recurring Customer and Billing Management, Q3 2017 report.   

The publication of the IDC MarketScape report and the Forrester Wave: Recurring Customer and Billing Management, Q3 2017 report are indicative of the increasing interest in — and growth of — subscription services and the role of billing to support them. For many companies, the shift from physical products to digital services is “make or break.”

The IDC MarketScape study assesses the capability and business strategy of the most prominent SRM software providers. The report is a quantitative and qualitative assessment of vendor characteristics and their current and future success worldwide. The study’s inclusion criteria favored production-ready software versus heavily customized solutions.

“The IDC MarketScape report provides continued validation of Aria’s leadership position in the subscription and recurring revenue market,” said Tom Dibble, President & CEO, Aria Systems. “We are honored to once again be positioned as a Leader and believe it reflects our platform’s ability to move enterprises beyond simple subscriptions to more sophisticated billing options."
