Zuora Recognizes Visionaries at the Forefront of the Subscription Economy

Carbonite, eMoney Advisor, Modernizing Medicine, CDK Global, Pandora, and ConstructConnect Receive Subscription Economy Excellence Awards

San Mateo, Calif. – July 1, 2019 – Zuora, Inc. (NYSE: ZUO), the leading cloud-based subscription management platform provider, today announced the winners of its annual Subscription Economy® Excellence Awards, which recognize companies fully embracing the global shift toward subscription-based revenue models and demonstrating exceptional growth, innovation and success in their respective industries. Honored at Zuora’s annual Subscribed® San Francisco conference earlier this month, Carbonite, eMoney Advisor, Modernizing Medicine, CDK Global, Pandora, and ConstructConnect were selected among North American Zuora customers and identified as visionaries across six categories: Supergrower, Innovator, Transformer, Recognizer, Champion, and Community All-Star (individual).

Digital disruption is redefining business models across all industries – software, finance, automotive, media and more. As a result, today’s organizations are challenged with transforming traditional processes and legacy technologies to remain competitive and to meet evolving customer demands.

“Whether it’s offering new subscription services for end users or implementing new revenue recognition programs, our customers have recognized the need for significant business transformations and have implemented a variety of successful programs,” said Tom Krackeler, SVP of Products at Zuora. “On behalf of everyone at Zuora, we congratulate this year’s winners for their accomplishments and success.”

This year’s award recipients included:

  • Supergrower – Carbonite, Inc.: Supergrowers demonstrate extraordinary recent subscription revenue expansion. Carbonite showcased rapid growth by scaling to more than one million subscribers on Zuora, in addition to moving their entire acquired business units and companies onto the Zuora® platform. As a result, the company successfully shifted from a $40 million B2C business in 2011 to a $240 million B2B software company today.
  • Innovator – eMoney Advisor, LLC.: Innovators display incredible success with groundbreaking approaches in the Subscription Economy. eMoney is leading the charge in the Software-as-a-Service space for financial services offerings, switching their full business model to subscriptions in 2019 on the Zuora platform. In just 6 months, eMoney was able to speed its order-to-revenue process by 93%.

“At Modernizing Medicine® our subscription strategy is helping us constantly refine and improve our business and customer experiences. Winning this year’s SEE Award for Transformer is exciting for our team as it acknowledges and further solidifies the great work they do.
