ServiceSource Revenue Lifecycle Management Maturity Model Helps B2B Companies Uncover Hidden Opportunities Within the Revenue Lifecycle

ServiceSource® (NASDAQ:SREV), the global leader in recurring revenue and customer success management, today announced the release of its Revenue Lifecycle Management Maturity Model. As part of an emerging segment within customer lifecycle management (CLM), the Revenue Lifecycle Management Maturity Model provides a framework for helping companies continuously improve their customer retention and recurring revenue growth efforts.

The model was developed based on more than 15 years of expertise in analyzing, benchmarking and delivering revenue lifecycle solutions to leading global enterprises such as Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE). Using this framework, companies can understand their unique revenue lifecycle ‘fingerprint,’ based on a variety of factors including the size of their customer base, the complexity of their products and solutions, existing renewal rates and competitive market dynamics.

“Enterprises have been, and will continue to focus more on the customer experience to capitalize on recurring revenue opportunities,” said Rob Brothers, Program Director for IDC’s Software and Hardware Support Services. “Management of recurring revenue is a necessary investment, and utilizing ServiceSource’s revenue lifecycle maturity model can help streamline business processes to take full advantage of that very profitable annuity stream.”

By applying the lens of this Revenue Lifecycle Maturity Model, businesses can more effectively uncover hidden opportunities and challenges in the revenue lifecycle, including manual sales processes and engagement approaches, fragmented data, highly administrative processes with limited selling and support, and non-optimized systems.

The model ranges across five levels of maturity, defined as opportunistic, emerging, disciplined, optimized and strategic. This model also scores each company on their level of maturity across the five key lenses needed to understand revenue lifecycle maturity, including technology, data, KPIs, people and process.

“By providing a framework for companies to assess their Revenue Maturity level, ServiceSource is enabling enterprises to better create a holistic CLM approach that is shown to increase recurring revenue,” said Christopher Carrington, CEO of ServiceSource. “Once we have an in-depth look into the maturity of a company’s revenue lifecycle, we’re then able to apply best-practice and technology-enabled processes to increase their recurring revenue and customer retention.”

Today, ServiceSource also announced findings of a recent benchmarking study showing the strong link between investments made in improving revenue lifecycle maturity and achieving higher renewal rates and increased recurring revenue. Details of this study can be found here: http://bit.ly/rlmbmreq.
