Aria Billing Selected To Be Key Component of OpSource On-Demand 2.0

    /24-7PressRelease/ - MEDIA, PA, April 17, 2007 - Aria Systems and OpSource have announced that OpSource would integrate Aria's "SaaS optimized" billing and customer management solution as a key component of the newly announced OpSource On-Demand 2.0 software-as-a-service (SaaS) application delivery platform.

OpSource will offer Aria's solution under the brand name, "OpSource Billing." It will readily integrate with any application running on the OpSource On-Demand platform. Optimal Billing will provide billing and customer management functionality that was developed with the needs of the SaaS vendor in mind. Thanks to Aria, Optimal Billing will enable flat rate, usage based and combination billing; support dynamic promotions and pricing (including "try before you buy" plans) and operate independently of the payment method to accelerate revenue collection.

Ed Sullivan, CEO and founder of Aria Systems, said: "We are pleased to share a number of successful clients with OpSource today. This private-label integration was the next logical step in Aria's efforts to deliver billing and customer management that is optimized to meet the unique needs of SaaS vendors. Together in the OpSource On-Demand platform, Aria and OpSource deliver all that's needed to get an on-demand application from development to profitability in the most efficient and cost-effective way possible."

Treb Ryan, CEO of OpSource, commented, "Aria was a natural choice for the billing component of OpSource On-Demand 2.0. Aria's SaaS-optimized functionality, on-demand delivery, and sophisticated billing and customer management functionality means that our customers can finally implement innovative pricing and collect revenue in a way that makes sense to their business models."

OpSource On-Demand revolutionized the development and delivery of on-demand applications and OpSource On-Demand 2.0 reinvents and fully supports the application delivery requirements of software-as-a-service (SaaS) and Web companies. OpSource On-Demand creates an environment that allows on-demand companies to speed the conversion of ideas into reality by eliminating the need to write code for non-strategic but mission-critical application services, which account for 70 percent of all applications. This will free up tremendous resources, allowing on-demand companies to focus on developing the remaining 30 percent of their applications, which represents their true intellectual property and increases their probability of market success. Using OpSource On-Demand, OpSource's customers can track the health of the business; acquire, manage and bill customers; and communicate with customers to measure product success, validate performance and fine-tune offerings. The solution, which OpSource delivers, using its success-based pricing model, enables OpSource's customers to focus their energy on business growth, accelerating revenue and exceeding their customers' expectations.
