Cloud Billing Software Provider Collaborates with Scribe for Online Billing Integration
LONDON, August 22, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
MetraTech (http://www.metratech.com), the leading provider of
agreements-based billing and compensation solutions, has joined forces with
global data integration provider Scribe to connect its Metanga cloud billing
application to Microsoft Dynamics CRM and other business applications.
Recently showcased at Microsoft's 2011 Worldwide Partner Conference
(WPC), the new technology partnership delivers faster time-to-revenue at a
fraction of the cost of traditional cloud-based billing integration
solutions.
Independent software vendors (ISVs) providing cloud-based services can
use Scribe Online to integrate customer and transactional data between cloud
billing
[http://www.metratech.com/Billing-Solutions/SaaS-and-Cloud-Computing.aspx ]
application Metanga and other online and on-premise business applications.
The Scribe Online platform simplifies the implementation and maintenance of
integration solutions and, like Metanga, it is built on the Windows Azure
platform.
"The MetraTech and Scribe partnership supports Microsoft's commitment to
the cloud with online offerings for CRM," said Brad Wilson, general manager,
Microsoft Dynamics CRM. "They provide the first integrated billing solution
with Dynamics CRM Online for ISVs building industry-based vertical
solutions."
"Using the solutions from Scribe and Metanga, ISVs can benefit from the
ability to rapidly develop and deploy next-generation solutions that are
based on the Windows Azure platform," said Aashish Dhamdhere, senior product
manager, Windows Azure at Microsoft Corp. "In addition, Scribe and Metanga's
billing solution is integrated with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online."
The Metanga solution enables the management of customer enrollment,
product catalogs, pricing, promotions, invoicing, customer self-care and
payment capture for industry verticals, including cloud,
business-to-business (B2B), consumptive media, telepresence, broadband and
smart grid. It facilitates consumption-based billing for online applications
that require more than simplistic recurring credit card billing.
"Today, no application is standalone, especially in the cloud," said
Scott Swartz, founder and CEO of mobile billing

and SaaS billing
[http://www.metratech.com/Billing-Solutions/SaaS-and-Cloud-Computing.aspx ]
specialist MetraTech. "The billing system is the center of knowledge for
financial relationships and for providing that information to other systems,
which lets ISVs better manage and service their customers. We selected
Scribe because we wanted a partner that could deliver world-class
integration in the Windows Azure environment in the most efficient and
effective manner possible for our ISV customers."
"Metanga is unique among cloud billing offerings in that it draws upon
MetraTech's years of experience in developing and operating billing systems
for service innovation leaders," said Lou Guercia, president and CEO of
Scribe. "We built Scribe Online based on our years of integration experience
to support the needs of ISVs; it is the data integration solution of choice
for Azure ISVs. Our partnership with MetraTech and Metanga provides
simplified data transfer between applications in the cloud and on- premise
to get solutions to market quickly and to speed up cloud adoption."
