With the rapid rise of open cloud services, organizations face a future of sourcing and integrating functionality from multiple open APIs. But harnessing this API-centric ‘cloud of clouds’ to deliver competitive applications is not simple. You will need to understand and adopt new disciplines, processes, and technologies – like service analysis, cloud brokering, process orchestration, service integration, agile development, accelerated testing, devops collaboration, continuous delivery and, of course, API management and security.

Establish and Manage a Recurring Revenue Model
Microsoft has recently made large business bets on recurring revenue models. That’s because offering goods and services on a recurring basis doesn’t just create incremental, new revenue; it is fast becoming the primary driver of revenue growth for many enterprises.
However, for companies to offer products or services that their customers want and will buy on a recurring basis, it’s critical that they’re able to employ the features, benefits, and capabilities necessary to support the recurring revenue model of their choosing. At the same time they must continue to insure or improve customer satisfaction and retention. This all requires a new breed of billing, without stressing IT or finance.
