PHILADELPHIA, July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Aria Systems Inc., the industry
standard and leading provider of on-demand billing and customer lifecycle
management solutions, announced that it has just surpassed the milestone of
fifty clients, putting the company in the strongest financial position in its
history while further solidifying and enhancing its market leader role in the
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) billing space.
Having built and implemented its customer base steadily, in a considered,
fiscally responsible manner over its five year history in the market -- and as
the only player to have served the market nearly this long -- Aria Systems
sees its growth accelerating as the market for on-demand subscriptions grows.
Clients from industries such as SaaS, gaming, telecom, and even non-profit
organizations, have endorsed the breadth and depth of the Aria Systems
solution, including latest client Phase 2. "Finding the best billing provider
has been a high priority for Phase 2," said CEO Kevin Doherty. "Scaling a SaaS
business to more than a few dozen customers requires a solution like Aria's
that integrates sophisticated billing with end-to-end customer lifecycle
management. Aria's platform was designed to meet the unique needs of
subscription-based models which is highly relevant to the success of SaaS
businesses like PHASE 2."
"We are extremely pleased with the base of businesses that increasingly
turn to us for subscription billing and customer life cycle management
solutions," said Edward Sullivan, president & CEO, Aria Systems. "And, as the
pioneer of the SaaS billing space, it is exciting and gratifying to see the
realization of the vision we had in 2003 as large sectors of the enterprise
space increasingly turn to the SaaS billing model. Even the number of
competitors we have recently attracted to the space confirm that on-demand
billing's time has come. These newcomers' lack of experience can mislead or
confuse the market at times, but ultimately they help us and our growth as
customers seek mature, proven solutions."
