Really great insights on the pricing infrastructure evolution.
One gap I see consistently: companies focus on billing platforms but overlook the critical data mediation layer that sits between usage generation and billing systems. When you move to consumption-based models, especially with AI workloads, accurate real-time usage data capture becomes the make-or-break factor....You can have the best billing system, but if your usage data isn't validated with financial-grade accuracy, you'll leak revenue. Always!
Thanks Amaka! It was a blast talking to Andreas and Ari about the roots of DR, and the similarities between telecom and SaaS. Think your assessment above is spot on too!
