Zuora’s subscription management platform lets customers focus on creating, managing, and growing their core business, not on their infrastructure. Zuora’s Z-Billing and Z-Payments products make it fast and easy to launch new products, scale operations, and automate subscription billing and recurring payments in one solution. Zuora was founded by SaaS industry veterans Tien Tzuo, former Chief Strategy Officer from salesforce.com, and K.V. Rao, an early employee of WebEx, where he forged key alliances and signed on Fortune 50 companies.

One of the first public pitches for the zuora service – I am impressed with the sophistication of the message, delivery and articulation of the vision. Billing is the ugly step child of all SaaS vendors (I have seen hundreds) – zuora is needed by any/ALL cloud vendors. Better to team up early as bad billing systems can ruin the customer experience for your nascent service.
