ZUORA, the subscription billing, commerce and finance leader, today announced the availability of Z-Business Nine. The latest edition of Zuora's Relationship Business Management (RBM) solution is designed specifically for global, multi-divisional enterprises that are reinventing their business models around recurring revenue.
TODAY'S CUSTOMERS, from global companies to individual consumers, increasingly prefer the ease and convenience of subscriptions over larger one-time purchases. From Adobe to Box to ZipCar and beyond, consumers increasingly favor the benefits of a service over the ownership of a product. What's more, they demand continuous value and personalized control in this "subscription experience."
TODAY'S ENTERPRISES recognize the need to reinvent their business models to meet these new demands. They know that future growth lies in relationship-centric recurring revenue business models; however, they face several unique and inherent challenges.
RBM SOLUTIONS are an emerging class of software focused on building, managing and optimizing the ongoing customer relationships that are the lifeblood of subscription businesses. RBM manages the business operations of customer-centric subscription companies, similar to what traditional ERP has done for manufacturing companies.
ERP SYSTEMS, while not designed to deliver the subscription experience, are an integral part of enterprise IT infrastructure and cannot be completely abandoned. A recent study from Gartner noted that cumbersome, inflexible ERP systems cannot be easily customized and are rapidly being re-architected as "systems of record."
AS A RESULT, enterprises must couple the ERP "systems of record" with the new RBM "systems of reinvention" in order for them to bring new services to market quickly.
Z-BUSINESS NINE, the latest edition of Zuora's RBM solution, is designed help enterprises reinvent their business models by:
- Supporting rapid innovation without requiring massive investments;
- Addressing the quote-to-revenue demands of relationship-centric business models;
- Integrating seamlessly into existing IT infrastructures and;
- Meeting the highest enterprise security, scalability and audit standards.
- Z-Business Nine delivers the highest standards of platform security demanded by enterprise CIOs, which includes: Two-factor authentication, Single Sign-On (SSO), IP address restrictions to reduce the threat of security breaches at point of authentication, and SMTP email configuration to reduce the threat of email phishing.
- It includes a capacity booster, allowing enterprises CIOs to deliver the scalability that can process 375 synchronous orders per second and deliver millisecond response times across the globe.
- It meets the demands of multi-divisional organizations by delivering data access controls that allows CIOs to determine how data is shared or isolated between different business units.
- It includes unique sync technologies that allow CIOs to give their businesses access to the most up-to-date data about their customers by ensuring external systems remain completely in sync with Enterprise 9 in real time.
- It eases the IT burden of integration with complex IT ecosystems by providing reference architectures that can be used as a starting point to integrate with Oracle, SAP and other enterprise systems of record.
- Z-Business Nine has proven to deliver enterprise agility with an average of 50 go-lives per month, and has been adopted by over 40 enterprises with over $1 billion in revenue to-date.
- It is being deployed by leading integrators such as Accenture, who employs Zuora-certified consultants in nine countries.
- This new platform is trusted by global enterprises like HP, American Express, Dell, Intuit, Deloitte, TCS, Informatica, YP.ca, TripAdvisor, Acxiom, NewsUK, Telstra, Xplornet and many others.
Zuora Quote:
"As the world moves to the Subscription Economy, consumers demand flexibility and a personalized experience in how they purchase and consume services," said Tien Tzuo, CEO & Founder, Zuora. "The winners are the businesses who develop ongoing relationships and deliver increasing value to their customers. At Zuora, we're making this a reality, allowing enterprises to drive growth through reinvention. Z-Business Nine enables global enterprises to do this on a system that coexists with their ERP and offers the scalability, control and security they demand."
Customer Quotes:
Hundreds of enterprise customers around the globe are reinventing their businesses with Zuora:
Ben Shields, Deloitte Private partner said, "Many industries are being disrupted and the professional services industry is leading this disruption. Billing customers on an hourly basis will become a thing of the past. The trend is now to allow your clients to subscribe to a recurring service so service providers can maintain regular contact with their clients instead of having a sporadic relationship with them."
"Neopost USA is transforming into a provider of technology-based business communications solutions. This requires an unprecedented level of adaptability at the company, including the integration of an enterprise-grade subscription management platform. Neopost USA's partnership with Zuora has helped make this transition smooth for us and for our customers.

Nick von der Wense, VP Marketing, Neopost
"News UK launches marketing promotions that reach millions of people around the world in a matter of minutes and require a system capable of scaling to meet this volume. Zuora's enterprise platform has enabled us to scale to hundreds of transactions per second and has given us the confidence as we drive for rapid global growth." Katie Vanneck-Smith, CMO, News UK
"Intuit's high growth cloud businesses like QuickBase are evolving quickly as we innovate to serve customers in new ways. We needed a flexible solution that allows us to move fast, test, and get the right insights. Our legacy systems were not designed to move at this pace. We integrated Zuora's platform with our enterprise architecture including Oracle and others which together allowed us to serve our growing subscriber base." Allison Mnookin, GM/VP Intuit QuickBase

'I like its earthy flavour': Mother tells of how she has eaten rocks off the ground for more than 20 years
A woman has told of how she eats rocks that have been picked up off the ground.
For more than 20 years, Teresa Widener, a 45-year-old woman from Bedford, Virginia, has regularly sucked the dirt off rocks before crunching them between her teeth.
The mother of two, who works with special needs children, suffers from pica which is a disorder that causes people to eat inedible objects.
Scroll down for video
Bizarre: Teresa Widener from Bedford, Virginia, has revealed she enjoys eating rocks that have been picked up off the ground. She enjoys the inedible object's 'earthy' taste and how they crunch in her mouth
She told ABC that she has been able to break rocks in her mouth 'pretty easily' for more than 20 years.
'I like that it has an earthy flavour', she said. 'If I know I have some at my house I feel better, just knowing they're there...they're there for me when I'm upset or whatever.
'Mmm-hmm, yeah. They crunch on my teeth.'
Sometimes, she neglects to wash the natural objects because she craves the dirt that is attached to them.
Hungry: The mother of two has said that she tends to feel 'better' when she has a supply of rocks in her house
Content: The pica-sufferer is also susceptible to eating 'toilet paper and clothing' according to experts
Ms Widener said that while she enjoys the taste of it, she also eats rocks to help treat her iron deficiency.
She also regularly turns the larger rocks into bite-size pieces by hammering them down in her kitchen.
She stores the smaller stones in a container that is normally used to contain pills.
Dr Jordana Mansbacher, a clinical social worker and therapist, said her behaviour is not abnormal as pica sufferers tend to 'eat anything'.
The condition, which is a considered a mental health disease, takes its name from the Latin word for magpie which is a bird that eats just about anything.
'They will eat toilet paper,' Dr Mansbacher said. 'They will eat carpet. They will eat paper. They will eat wood. They will eat clothing. They will eat skin. They will eat metal.'
Bite-size: In order to create smaller-sized stones, she uses a hammer to cut the rocks down
Craving: The condition takes its name frmo the Latin word for magpie, which is a bird that eats anything
Dr Mansbacher said that eating rocks, and soil, does not offer any health benefits.
In doing so, one can even introduce parasites into their system. Rocks can also puncture or tear internal tissue in the body which can lead to bleeding.
She also attributed the unorthodox practice to the cravings that pregnant women get because they often feel like iron, which is found in the soil attached to the rock.
But Ms Widener is not pregnant.
It is not, however, the only unusual pica-related behaviour that has emerged in recent months.
In March, Nicole Bonner, 22, revealed that she had eaten around 1,000 sponges after developing a strange craving for soap during her pregnancy five years ago.

How Harvard Nearly Went Bankrupt After A Rogue Interest Rate Swap Went Very Sour
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/16/2009 17:45 -0500
The school that epitomizes the dangers of groupthink (especially by very intelligent people) and tends to get caught in both the virtues and vices of its own ingeniosity, saw just how expensive hubris can be in 2009. Harvard's endowment dropped 27.3% in 2009 to $27 after hitting roughly $10 billion higher the year before.
Yet most notable in the entire report is an interesting story for all those who claim that representing the $200 or so trillion in interest rate swaps on the books of the Big 5 banks is completely irrelevant as the net exposure is just a couple trill here and there. Yeah, that's what Harvard thought too until it had to eat a 45% loss on $1.1 billion in IR swaps. And nearly go tits up in the process.
This is what Daniel Shore, Harvard CFO had to say about this near death experience:
When we went into the fall, we had some serious liquidity management issues we were dealing with and the collateral postings on the swaps was one. In evaluating our liquidity position, we wanted to get some stability and some safety.
Funny how Harvard, one can argue, was in a comparable situation to none other than Lehman itself. Had Harvard's instantaneous liquidity situation gotten even worse, it would probably have spelled doom for the university Larry Summers, in his inimitable wit and wisdom, used to preside over.
(Excerpt) Read more at zerohedge.com ...
What happened to the 10 million dollar fund that they don't touch?
Can't help but think of all the liberal alumni who are giving thousands of dollars a year back to the school all scratching their collective head, all realizing that their real contribution is dwarfed (and negated) by the silly money games people play on Wall St.
I just like the term "group think" I think it succinctly nails liberalism among the elites.
"Nearly Went Bankrupt" is so very, very tantalizing.
It would have been sweet indeed if the headquarters of democrat party corrupt elitism went under.
is Pug still wheeling and dealing Harvard?
Harvards Bet on Interest Rate Rise Cost $500 Million to exit
Oct. 17 — Harvard Universitys failed bet that interest rates would rise cost the worlds richest school at least $500 million in payments to escape derivatives that backfired.
Harvard paid $497.6 million to investment banks during the fiscal year ended June 30 to get out of $1.1 billion of interest-rate swaps intended to hedge variable-rate debt for capital projects, the schools annual report said. The university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, said it also agreed to pay $425 million over 30 to 40 years to offset an additional $764 million in swaps.
It's a good point - but if those contributions end up getting junior into Harvard - then it could be argued that the "benefactor" is still happy with the net result.
Another source of Harvard's woes is they went on a real estate binge just like many "commoner" type Americans. Harvard was building and buying at breakneck speed. They have left a one quarter complected arts&sciences building. It is a pit... a foundation with a lot of concrete poured
I fear future Harvard students will be shivering, attending their class in a classroom heated by a lone charcoal stove.:-)
Hmmmm....let me just think about this for a minute....
I must have been dreaming because I had a grin on my face.
Great point. I guess building the "legacy" is what it's really about.
Harvard gave us this president. Paybacks are hell
The comments at zero hedge are witty
When you admit people based on skin color and not excellence, this is what happens.
Even with these losses Harvard endowment has done better that others. btw... You sliced that out of the pdf....well done
Yale endowment sank even more...so they say
The blunder was made on the watch of LARRY SUMMERS, who now is advising the Messiah (PBUH) on how to destroy what's left of our economy.
Gosh, seems like they were underpricing the risk they were taking on. Geniuses.
It is a shame they did not blow up Harvard with this trade. The slimy phony admissions process that admits people who are not qualified, offspring of prior graduates and fellow travellers with the same leftist politics.
LOL! It would ahve been a riot seeing then sell off the Kennedy School of "government" for a condo conversion. Naming a school of govvernment after the Kennedys is like naming a school of ethics and honesty for Al Capone. Actually Al was probably more honest and ethical than the Kennedys.
So they actually lost close to $1 billion? $497.6 million + $425 milion?
So to escape the $1.1 billion swap they paid $497.6 to make it go away and then $425 to unload the $764 million? I guess they could not just sell it it. I guess the swap is a contract that is there and you have to pay someone to take the bag of s**t off your hands.
Stinking liberals.
Thus Harvard spends 925 million to make 1864 million in crap disappear
Hmmmm.... you got it exactly right. My previous post was unnecessary
The question is how much Harvard saved using variable rate financing on its capital projets since the rate they are paying must of dropped significantly. You see this with other companies that have assets whose value is infleunced by short term rates so to hedge they take a swap or similiar derivative to counteract it. Say the value of the asset goes up because of the short term movement they lose money on the hedge so overall its a net zero.
Now that had to hurt. They don't have enough left for lunch.
My favorite comment:
Ivy League safety school going tits up is right. And anyone who knows Harvard can tell you they have some ugly tits at that place.
I suspect that a lot of unis. pension funds and cities and ststes were playing this risky game with public funds to, but we'll never know for sure.
good point.
This is the kind of deal that should have been available to the Feds when they were bailing out every institution. 45 cents a buck or less depending on volume.
I saw that comment and LOLed`
Exactly especially Goldman Sachs should been forced in penury and allowed to work their way up

December's Boudoir Lyrics
Artist: Laura Nyro
Album: Eli and the Thirteenth Confession
Kisses from you in the flames of December's boudoir,
They fill me like melons,
Touch me with chivalry;
Truly I know, truly I know who you are,
December will bear our affair,
Running on streets of delight and Decemberry ice,
They'll see me; I'm ageless,
Loving you timelessly,
Love-colored soul, love-colored soul kissing spice,
Yes, my love, I take my coffee in the morning,
And all your love,
A spoonful or so make us grow,
Mama was clever, my mama was clever,
And my daddy loved her forever;
Kisses from you I'll remember,
Kisses from you in the flames of December,
Kisses from you, true they are,
Kisses from you in the flames of December's boudoir;
Oh, mainstream marzipan sweet,
Baking out in December heat.

It is a mistake to assume that content development is an assumed talent, or that it can be an afterthought in the digital marketing realm. Content strategy is more than writing for the web. There is a science and strategy behind developing quality content for web pages, blogs, advertisements and social media. And although every successful copywriter must have a foundation of basics writing skills, such as subject matter expertise, an engaging style and tone, and basic grammar usage, there is much more to being a content king.
Nov 02, 2007
Seeing an ad in context on a web page has a direct positive impact on ad effectiveness, according to a pilot study conducted by OTX (Online Testing eXchange), a consumer research and consulting firm. Advertising placed on relevant pages of content on neutral and general interest websites outperformed the same advertising on out of context pages and equaled the response to the same ad on a highly relevant website. The study, the first in a series, was commissioned by ContextWeb, creator of online ad exchange ADSDAQ. The study tested a leading consumer electronics manufacturer's ad on web pages in three different environments. The first was a page on a typical consumer electronics-oriented website; the second was in the technology section of a leading national newspaper's website; the third was an ad on a page in the online opinion section of the same newspaper. The ad on the technology page of the newspaper's site performed better than the same ad in the opinion section of the newspaper's website, including ad recognition (the number of consumers who recalled seeing the ad) and brand recognition (being able to recall the brand being advertised). The contextually served ad also improved performance in communicating information about the product to consumers vs. the opinion page.

All I can say is, it's about time they all have come together to get Mitt Romney to President. Mitt Romney is a man of integrity, a man who deeply loves his United States of America, a man who has a sense of humor, a man with vast knowledge of investments, putting things together and they work so well and a man who honestly wants the opportunity to be President of the United States of America, one who's birth certificate is not in question, one who's ability to speak without teleprompters, and a man who believes in God and Jesus Christ and has high moral character. That is the kind of man I want to lead our United States of America to freedom from debt and disgrace.

Azerbaijan America Alliance Launches Multimedia Campaign Today
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A national public awareness campaign is being launched today by the Azerbaijan America Alliance to educate Americans about the massacre of 613 innocent Azeri civilians by Armenian and Russian soldiers 21 years ago in the village of Khojaly, located in the western Azerbaijani region of Nagorno-Karabakh. On February 26, 1992, in the course of 24 hours, 444 mostly elderly men, 106 women and 63 children were brutally killed.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130218/PH61879)
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130213/NE60060LOGO)
The multimedia campaign's biggest impact will be felt in Washington, D.C., and New York City, where hundreds of posters with the headline "KHOJALY...A Human Tragedy Against Azerbaijan" will be seen in subway stations, at bus stops and on buses, and on stationary and mobile billboards. Vehicles will project the poster at night on the sides of buildings. The National Mall and Union Station in Washington and Times Square and the United Nations in New York are several of the many heavily trafficked and iconic locations targeted by the campaign.
The public awareness campaign will last for several weeks and be seen by millions of Americans.
Traditional media will include the placement of articles and op-eds in newspapers, while social media will see postings and discussions on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Video interviews with Caucasus experts, academics, politicians and business people have been recorded with their remembrances about the Khojaly victims and their thoughts on America's important relationship with Azerbaijan. These interviews, other videos, photos, press releases, articles, op-eds, event information and links to the social media components of the campaign can be found at the Azerbaijan America Alliance website: www.azerbaijanamericaalliance.org.
President Obama, the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Congress and the American public are being asked to learn more about the Khojaly tragedy and Azerbaijan – a friend and ally of the U.S. located in a very challenging and geo-politically important part of the world.
The Azerbaijan America Alliance is a non-partisan, non-profit organization providing critical information about the people, culture, society, industry, history and current events of the Azeri people. Its mission is to foster an atmosphere of mutual understanding and respect between the people of America and Azerbaijan. Through academic discussion, cultural programming and political discourse, the Alliance aims to be the premier organization dedicated to promoting a lasting partnership between the two countries.

The New Zealand dollar rose to a nine-month high as it looks to break 84 US cents with the Federal Reserve set to review monetary policy amid expectations it will roll out American printing presses for a fourth time.
The kiwi traded at 83.89 US cents at 5pm in Wellington from 83.83 cents at 8.30am and up 83.43 cents yesterday. The trade-weighted index advanced to 76.92 from 74.66 yesterday.
Fed chairman Ben Bernanke is expected to announce interest rates will stay near zero at the end of the Federal Open Market Committee's two-day meeting, though markets are gearing up for another round of asset purchases.
The Fed's Operation Twist, which sees the central bank buy long-dated bonds and sell shorter maturities, expires this month and analysts are betting it will be replaced with more asset purchases.
"If they announce another round of quantitative easing, or what the market's calling QE4, we'll probably see the US dollar come under further pressure," says Dan Bell, currency strategist at HiFX in Auckland. The kiwi "looks top heavy, but this time of year favours risky currencies".
He says the currency may struggle to get above 84.50 US cents, though some international economists are predicting the kiwi may go as high as 90 US cents next year.
"You can count on one hand the number of times the New Zealand has got over 84 cents since the free float of the currency."
The Fed's meeting comes against the backdrop of protracted negotiations between US policymakers to try and reach accord on stopping $US600 billion of tax increases and spending cuts from kicking in on January 1.
The kiwi was little changed at 64.53 euro cents from 64.51 cents yesterday and gained to 52.09 British pence from 51.89 pence. It rose to 69.18 yen from 68.70 yen and was little changed at 79.68 Australian cents from 79.66 cents yesterday.

Researchers discover tin selenide is best at converting waste heat to electricity
One strategy for addressing the world's energy crisis is to stop wasting so much energy when producing and using it, which can happen in coal-fired power plants or transportation. Nearly two-thirds of energy input is lost as waste heat.
Now Northwestern University scientists have discovered a surprising material that is the best in the world at converting waste heat to useful electricity. This outstanding property could be exploited in solid-state thermoelectric devices in a variety of industries, with potentially enormous energy savings.
An interdisciplinary team led by inorganic chemist Mercouri G. Kanatzidis found the crystal form of the chemical compound tin selenide conducts heat so poorly through its lattice structure that it is the most efficient thermoelectric material known. Unlike most thermoelectric materials, tin selenide has a simple structure, much like that of an accordion, which provides the key to its exceptional properties.
The efficiency of waste heat conversion in thermoelectrics is reflected by its figure of merit, called ZT. Tin selenide exhibits a ZT of 2.6, the highest reported to date at around 650 degrees Celsius. The material's extremely low thermal conductivity boosts the ZT to this high level, while still retaining good electrical conductivity.
The ZT metric represents a ratio of electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power in the numerator (which needs to be high) and thermal conductivity in the denominator (which needs to be low).
Potential areas of application for the high-temperature thermoelectric material include the automobile industry (a significant amount of gasoline's potential energy goes out of a vehicle's tailpipe), heavy manufacturing industries (such as glass and brick making, refineries, coal- and gas-fired power plants) and places where large combustion engines operate continuously (such as in large ships and tankers).
"A good thermoelectric material is a business proposition -- as much commercial as it is scientific," said Vinayak P. Dravid, a senior researcher on the team. "You don't have to convert much of the world's wasted energy into useful energy to make a material very exciting. We need a portfolio of solutions to the energy problem, and thermoelectric materials can play an important role."
Dravid is the Abraham Harris Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science.
Details of tin selenide, probably among the world's least thermally conductive crystalline materials, are published today (April 17) by the journal Nature.
The discovery comes less than two years after the same research group broke the world record with another thermoelectric material they developed in the lab with a ZT of 2.2.
"The inefficiency of current thermoelectric materials has limited their commercial use," said Kanatzidis, the Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. "We expect a tin selenide system implemented in thermoelectric devices to be more efficient than other systems in converting waste heat to useful electricity."
The material, despite having a very simple structure, conducts heat so poorly that even moderate thermoelectric power and electrical conductivity are enough to provide high thermoelectric performance at high temperature.
The researchers did not expect to find tin selenide to be such a good thermoelectric material.
"Lidong Zhao, the first author of the paper, deserves a lot of credit for looking at tin selenide," said Kanatzidis, who also holds a joint appointment at Argonne National Laboratory. "He is a good example of the curious people we try to attract to Northwestern."
Zhao, a postdoctoral fellow in Kanatzidis' research group, grew crystals of tin selenide and measured the crystal in three directions, along each axis. He found that the thermal conductivity was "ridiculously low" along the a-axis but also along the other two axes.
"The results are eye-opening because they point in a direction others would not look," Dravid said. "This material has the potential to be applied to other areas, such as thermal barrier coatings."
Kanatzidis and Zhao identified the potential of the material intuitively by looking at its crystal structure. They confirmed its exceptional thermoelectric properties and then turned to Dravid and Christopher M. Wolverton to uncover how the crystal was behaving and why.
"We found that the bonds between some atoms in this compound are very weak and lead to exceptionally soft, floppy atomic vibrations," said Wolverton, a senior author of the paper and a professor of materials science at the McCormick School.
Wolverton, an expert in computational materials science related to energy applications, showed that the accordion-like structure and weak bonds lead to atoms that vibrate very slowly.
"These very weak vibrations are responsible for the inability of the material to conduct heat," Wolverton said. "Our theory provides the scientific basis as to why the material behaves the way it does and also provides us with a new direction to search for even higher-efficiency materials."
"Tin selenide reminds us of that popular TV commercial for a memory foam mattress in which a person can jump on one side of the mattress while a glass of wine a few feet away is unperturbed -- the vibrations do not reach the glass because of the mattress' material," Kanatzidis said.
"Similarly, in tin selenide, heat cannot travel well through this material because its soft, accordion-like structure doesn't transmit vibrations well," he said. "One side of tin selenide gets hot -- where the waste heat is, for example -- while the other side remains cool. This enables the hot side to generate useful electricity."
"Our discovery underscores why the Department of Energy EFRC program works," Kanatzidis said. "A multidisciplinary team, such as ours, can look at a problem from many different angles, with sustained funding increasing the chances of a scientific breakthrough. And we have a special ambience here -- the spirit of Northwestern is interdisciplinary."
The paper is titled "Ultralow thermal conductivity and high thermoelectric figure of merit in SnSe crystals." In addition to Kanatzidis, Dravid, Wolverton and Zhou, other authors of the paper are Yongsheng Zhang and Gangjian Tan, of Northwestern, and Hui Sun and Ctirad Uher, of the University of Michigan.
