Model N: Strengthening Revenue, Strengthening Businesses

Date:   Wednesday , October 08, 2014

With the advent of Revenue Management solutions, companies have seen a significant transition in their business strategies. But to succeed under modern quality focused payment models they have to go beyond the conventional Revenue Management framework. The traditional standards, or dark ages as Model N refers to them, such as spreadsheets and home-grown systems not only lead to revenue compliant risks, but also create billions of revenue loss to the enterprise, leveraging a fatal business failure. As per an IDC study, pharmaceutical companies are undergoing a huge loss of 4.4 percent of overall revenue ($11 billion) per year by mismanaging incentives and rebates.Semiconductor and component manufacturers leave as much as $50 million on the table, per deal, due to poor volume price compliance. Aiding this colossal confrontation with its integrated end-to-end Revenue Management platform suite is Model N, Inc. headquartered in Redwood City, Calif.

CEO Speak:

Model N is an end-to-end Revenue Management platform. We are the only Revenue Management company that is vertically focused with a platform approach and deployment options of SaaS or on-premise. Revenue Management is the inflection point and next source of competitive advantage for companies. It cuts across all aspects of a business and addresses the void created by CRM and ERP systems in terms of addressing contracts, pricing, rebates, compliance, and others. The dark ages era of Revenue Management where the above is done on spreadsheets and emails is causing companies to lose revenue. As much as $11Billion in revenue in the Pharmaceutical industry alone, is lost - every year.

We help our customers maximize their revenues and reduce revenue compliance risk by managing every dollar that impacts the topline. Many of the world\'s leading brands in Life Science and Technology companies across 100 countries use Model N to manage their revenue.
