SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

ServiceSource SREV, the global leader in customer success and revenue lifecycle management solutions, has been listed in Gartner's 2016 CRM Vendor Guide (published May 9, 2016) under the Recurring Revenue Management category, in the Customer Success Management and Revenue Management for Sales subcategories.

According to the guide, "CRM leaders no longer focus on the CRM application itself, but on how it transforms interactions with customers, partners and other parties to increase revenue or increase customer satisfaction. This demands integrating a wide range of technologies and processes." In addition, the report found that as enterprises move to recurring revenue business models, they "must manage these revenue streams from active customers as rigorously as they manage their new sales pipelines. Existing CRM systems assist in managing accounts, contacts and new opportunities, but companies must also capitalize on every customer-recurring opportunity to meet and exceed revenue targets."

"Creating the right mix of technology, people and processes to maximize revenue from current customers is a whole new aspect of customer success facing B2B enterprises, but it's exactly what we designed our Revenue-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform to solve for," said Christopher M. Carrington, CEO of ServiceSource. "Our end-to-end RaaS platform combines highly trained sales professionals with time-proven processes—all powered by a combination of proprietary and third-party technology. By helping companies take a holistic approach to customer success throughout the entire revenue lifecycle, ServiceSource enables them to maximize customer lifetime value and to uncover the hard-to-spot risks and opportunities within those relationships."

Gartner's annual CRM Vendor Guide is a comprehensive report that covers all the solution categories involved in managing the full customer relationship and mentions vendors in each category. ServiceSource was listed as a solution provider in the following Recurring Revenue Management subcategories:

  • Customer Success Management: includes systems that automate the post-sales client relationship processes that are common to companies with subscription-based revenue models. These solutions are implemented to manage customer retention and customer upsell objectives. Their capabilities include customer health monitoring, product adoption monitoring, quarterly business reviews and customer retention workflow.
  • Revenue Management for Sales: a back-office function that integrates with SFA, CPQ and ERP systems to manage the business rules that support recurring revenue streams. Vendor capabilities include usage-based billing, pricing optimization, refund/rebate processes and customer lifecycle management. This function's outputs are used in billing, renewal and customer success processes.

ServiceSource's inclusion in the report comes on the heels of another citation in the Gartner report, "Tech Go-to-Market: Best Practices in Enabling Reseller Channel Partners in the Changing World of Cloud," published April 20, 2016.

Enabled by a best-in-class recurring revenue technology platform, best-practice business processes and expert managed services, ServiceSource delivers higher customer revenue growth and greater insights to B2B enterprises, either through channel partners or direct end-customers.
