SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 11, 2015) - Aria Systems, which helps enterprises grow recurring revenue, today announced it has been selected as a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Subscription Billing Platforms, Q4 2015 report.

The platform provides a high degree of flexibility for complex, hybrid subscription configurations and approvals via its embedded workflow tools..."

"We are very proud of being named a leader in Forrester's Wave for Subscription Billing Platforms. We believe the Forrester Wave on the subscription billing platforms category stands to be an essential guide for enterprises looking to accelerate growth of recurring revenue via subscription, consumption or a combination of the two," said Tom Dibble, CEO of Aria Systems. "In our opinion, the report is reflective of our team's commitment to product excellence and customer success, validating our enterprise-grade cloud billing and monetization platform that is uniquely capable of supporting multiple monetization models, channels and geographies, as well as proven integrations with our customers' incumbent legacy systems."
