Dreamforce 2009
Booth #1301

SAN FRANCISCO—November 18, 2009—Aria Systems, Inc., (http://www.AriaSystems.com) the leading provider of on demand billing and subscription management solutions, today announced the immediate availability of bi-directional integration of the Aria Billing and Subscription Management Platform with Salesforce CRM. Aria is now offering its best-in-class SaaS billing and subscriber management capabilities to salesforce.com customers and partners who are pursuing subscription-based revenue streams. Featuring technology- and process-level Payment Card Industry (PCI) v1.2 compliance for Billing Management as well as SAS 70 Type II certification, the Aria Billing and Subscription Management Platform stands alone as the most secure SaaS billing platform available for salesforce.com users.

This powerful solution provides a seamless experience for Salesforce CRM users and end user subscribers alike by providing bi-directional integration taking advantage of the Aria Billing and Subscription Management Platform’s extensive API. When customer orders are placed in Salesforce CRM, the relevant accounts and contacts are automatically created in the subscription billing system. Likewise, if a new customer is created via Aria’s self service customer portal, they are automatically created within the CRM system. Products and price lists are also synchronized automatically. And the single sign-on capabilities in the Aria Billing Platform allow customer service personnel to directly access billing information from within the Salesforce CRM application so that they can quickly answer customer questions related to bills or plans, add new services for the customer, or resolve any billing related inquiries. Together, these capabilities reduce operational costs, improve agent productivity, and enhance customer satisfaction.

”Salesforce CRM and Aria’s Billing and Subscription Management are two of the most strategic enablers of our business model,” said Rob Berko, TruPro CEO. “The integration between them lets us take advantage of two best-in-class systems without time-consuming and expensive customization.”

Aria Systems is a Bronze sponsor and will be exhibiting and presenting at the upcoming Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, California November 17-20. At Dreamforce booth #1301, representatives from Aria Systems will be demonstrating integration between Salesforce CRM and the Aria Billing Platform, as well as Aria’s unique ability to manage the entire subscriber lifecycle, from acquisition and provisioning through billing, remediation, and analytics. Furthermore, joint customers of Salesforce.com and Aria Systems who are already taking advantage of the integration to enable their subscription-based business models will be sharing their experiences and answering questions at the Aria Systems booth. Please visit the booth for detailed schedule information.
