Jamcracker supports flexible cloud monetization models that can handle subscription based, usage based , user based models or a combination of models for CSPs (Cloud Service Providers)
E N D
Subscription Model (Company Provisioning) • Concept: • Flat Rate Billing , typically monthly Recurring Revenue. • Pros: • Suits CSP’s moving to the cloud as they understand that SaaS is generally a recurring revenue business • Suits cloud consumers instead of upfront investments on licenses + maintenance fees • Cons: • Inadequate for providers who need to bill based on consumption • Not beneficial for customers who expect to be charged based on the consumption behavior
Subscription Model (User Provisioning) • Concept: • Based on the actual number of users assigned to the SaaS service • Pros: • Enterprise benefit as billing starts when provisioned to individual users • Model is reflective of the enterprise’s license pattern • Cons: • SaaS software entitlements need to be managed • May not be useful to CSPs as it may result in loss of revenue when licenses are not assigned to enterprise users
Usage Based (PAYG) Model • Concept: • Based on the actual usage of the cloud service • Pros: • Pay only for the actual volume of resources consumed • Possible to optimize and control cloud spend by governance • Cons: • Enterprises have difficulty in predicting the cloud expenses • A bill shock likely without effective policy control and enforcement • Metering the usage and providing granular details is complex for CSPs/Resellers
