This is the end of ownership and it changes everything. Our vision is “The World Subscribed” where one day every company will be a part of the Subscription Economy® (a phrase coined by our CEO, Tien Tzuo).u003c/spanu003eu003c/pu003enu003cpu003eu003cspan style=font-weight: 400;\u003eZuora’s leading, cloud-based software solution automates all subscription order-to-revenue operations in real-time for any business.
