This new blog post in our ongoing series about the Digital Solutions Economy™ (DSE) looks at how new developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are impacting the ways that companies deploy and manage subscription-based, usage-based, entitlements, ratable, bundled, and other DSE offerings.

Over the course of many projects spanning key areas such as revenue recognition, lease accounting, and subscription-based Digital Solutions Economy (DSE) programs, the Bramasol team of expert consultants has developed a widening range of innovative intellectual property (IP) and unique solutions to both enhance the integration and expand the functionality of SAP applications, including Revenue Accounting and Reporting (RAR), Contract and Lease Management (CLM), and SAP Quote-to-Cash (formerly called BRIM).

As we reach the halfway point in 2023, it is a good opportunity to take another look at over-arching trends, both to update those we have already identified and to add some new ones, such as the unprecedented explosion in generative AI applications.

Watch our recently recorded session to learn about how the SAP Business Technology Platform enables the cloud by integrating solutions such as SAP Subscription Billing and SAP S/4HANA.

In this webinar you will learn about several tools SAP has to help companies manage subscription plans and models. You will hear from SAP BRIM expert, Navneet Bal, about SAP Subscription Billing, Subscription Order Management and Sales and Distribution and gain insights into key decision factors for picking the right one for your business model.

Overview

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a delivery model in which software is provided over the internet, on a subscription basis, rather than as a product installed on companies' own computers. SaaS has its roots in the late 1990s with early adopters such as Salesforce.com, but it wasn't until the mid-2000s that SaaS started to gain widespread adoption. In the following decades, the growth of cloud computing and the increasing availability of high-speed internet made SaaS a more viable option for businesses of all sizes.

Today, SaaS is a multi-billion dollar industry, the fastest growing business model, and is a major driver of innovation in the software industry. Analytics firm Statista estimates that the SaaS market is worth approximately 146 billion in U.S. dollars and estimated to reach 195 billion U.S. dollars by 2023.

Consumption, usage and recurring revenue models are very popular in today’s business climate.  To be successful, these business models require integration and coordination among your key business systems from the front-end to the back-end. Before rolling out these revenue models, it is often useful to take a  step back and reimagine how these revenue models, business strategies, and business systems should all be aligned and deployed for the best results.
