Zuora launches Z-Commerce Platform to complete Business Cloud suite

Zuora, Inc., on-demand billing and payments service, has today announced today the launch of new Z-Commerce Platform designed for enabling monetization for cloud computing services. It was the last product to complete the suite of Zuora called Business Cloud solutions which already includes Z-Billing, Z-Payments, and Z-Force, created to help the companies to get revenue from cloud computing. 

Zuora’s Z-Commerce Platform is compatible with any cloud computing platform, including Amazon Web Services, salesforce.com’s Force.com, and Google AppEngine. 

“Technology cloud platforms are not enough. Cloud developers also need a way to make money from the services and applications they build. This creates huge market potential for a provider of cloud-based commerce capabilities such as subscription billing and payments to meet this need. In fact, upwards of 50% of Zuora’s inbound leads are from cloud computing companies looking for a way to monetize their services,” says Zuora.  

Zuora launched its first product, Z-Billing, in May 2008. Z-Billing is the first billing application designed specifically for subscription companies, giving them the flexibility and power to create, manage, and grow their business. In October 2008, Zuora launched its second product, Z-Payments. Z-Payments is a complete payment solution built for subscription businesses and includes the ability to accept PayPal payments. In November 2008, Zuora unveiled Z-Force, the first billing and payment system fully integrated with salesforce.com and 100% native to the Force.com platform. In just seven months, more than 70 customers have selected Zuora, including Cloud9 Analytics, Marketo, and Box.net.
