Fading away are the days of visits to brick-and-mortar stores to buy software packaged

in a box, music burned onto a CD and literature printed on paper. We now live in the age

of the digital economy, where we buy subscriptions, allowing us to download software,

music, books and more from anyplace in the world where we have access to the Internet,

and consume those digital goods whenever we want.

The Cloud also has direct impact on the revenue stream of digital businesses.

Monetization comes in the form of recurring revenue models. One of the best ways to

optimize profitability is to focus on customer usage. Customer patterns are different and

vary over time, so understanding the core unit of measure, or set of measures, that

creates value for the customer is critical.

Running a business in the Cloud has changed the way

end-users consume products.

Yield Management is the process of understanding and designing usage rate plans in

order to maximize revenue or profits from a customer behavior. As explained during the

webinar, Pricing Innovation for the Digital Economy: Yield Management and Targeted

Pricing Plans, follow this five-step process to help optimize yield.

• Define Usage Units of Measure: Track and understand the measures for usage that

create value.

• Define Usage Unit Price Curves: Create yield curves that show where payments

should come from and how different contracts are performing.

• Identify Pricing Issues: Determine which rate plans are not yielding enough revenue.

• Define License Structure to Match Customer Behavior: Optimize yield based on

behaviors, like spikes in usage.

• Monitor Over Time: Figure out if the changes made to rate plans yield the results you

were looking for, and determine any other impacts those changes made to customer

usage.

business, watch the webinar Pricing Innovation for the Digital Economy: Yield
