A large majority (85%) of executives surveyed agree that revenue management – which incorporates the ongoing optimization of revenue activities, including rebates, compliance, contracts and pricing models to maximize growth – is “business critical,” according to Model N data.

“Our research illustrates that revenue management remains a challenge and that the revenue management function is still a top-priority for the C-suite,” says Suresh Kannan, chief product officer at Model N. “The survey results also show that execs have an ingrained understanding that technology-based solutions, including the cloud, embedded AI and data analytics are critical to tackling enterprise-wide revenue management issues and revenue leakage in 2022 and beyond.”
