A RevOps Roundtable recap on how connected data, AI, and automation are reshaping revenue management—from Salesforce Revenue Cloud to outcome-based growth.

TL;DR
- Revenue management is evolving from siloed tools to connected, end-to-end revenue lifecycles.
- RevOps now sits at the intersection of CRO and CFO priorities, linking how companies sell with how they bill and recognize revenue.
- Data integrity has become the foundation for AI-driven forecasting, churn prevention, and expansion.
- Pairing expected usage with actual consumption unlocks predictive insight and customer trust.
- The next frontier of monetization moves beyond usage toward outcome-based models powered by intelligence and automation.

At the RevOps Roundtable: Revenue Management from Readiness to ROI, industry leaders including John Banks, Founder & CEO of Continuous, joined Stephen Burry and Micah Gerger of Atrium to unpack the evolution of Salesforce Revenue Cloud, the rise of usage-based monetization, and the central role of data in shaping the next generation of revenue operations.

Moderated in an open discussion format, the panel brought together decades of experience in quote-to-cash, CPQ, Billing, and revenue recognition to explore how organizations are re-architecting for agility, visibility, and AI-driven intelligence.

From Legacy Systems to Connected Revenue Lifecycles

The conversation began with a retrospective — tracing the evolution from SteelBrick CPQ to Salesforce’s Revenue Cloud and, now, the emergence of Agentforce Revenue Management (ARM). Each iteration, panelists agreed, represented a step toward connecting the full revenue lifecycle, from quote to billing to ledger. The shift from legacy CPQ systems to intelligent revenue management platforms marks more than a product evolution — it’s a redefinition of how organizations operationalize growth.

The panelists highlighted how architectural flexibility — through open APIs, subledger options, and embedded AI — is allowing companies to modernize without abandoning their core systems. “The architecture lets you choose the point in the process that makes sense for you,” noted Banks. “You don’t have to replace everything at once to start innovating.” Through open integration frameworks, subledger models, and AI-driven insights, enterprises can extend intelligence across existing systems without starting over. This move from static process to adaptive lifecycle signals the next era of revenue management — one defined by connection, continuity, and control.

The Convergence of CRO and CFO: Redefining RevOps

What began years ago as alignment between sales and marketing has now expanded into a full organizational mandate — uniting CROs and CFOs around a shared revenue strategy.

“RevOps isn’t just about driving pipeline anymore,” said Burry. “It’s about connecting how you sell with how you recognize revenue — and building systems that support both in real time.”

Panelists described how the next wave of RevOps maturity will depend on data continuity — bridging operational systems across the entire quote-to-cash journey. The goal isn’t just visibility, but orchestration: the ability to run revenue like an integrated engine rather than a collection of disconnected workflows.

Why Data is the New Equity in RevOps

As the discussion turned to the future, one idea became central: data has become the most valuable asset in revenue management.

“When you capture not just what’s been consumed, but what was expected to be consumed, you unlock a new layer of intelligence,” said Banks. “That delta, between forecast and reality, is where growth and customer trust take shape.”

Panelists emphasized the shift from static reports to real-time, contextualized data, and the opportunity to use it to predict churn, identify upsell moments, and even forecast outcomes.

“Data has integrity and equity,” added Burry. “If you get the integrity right, the data becomes a goldmine.”

For organizations embracing AI, data integrity isn’t optional, it’s the foundation for accuracy, automation, and continuous improvement.

AI, Agents, and the Rise of Experiential Revenue

When asked what comes next, the panel agreed: the future of RevOps will be experiential, conversational, and predictive.

AI-driven agents are enabling teams to shift from reactive forecasting to proactive engagement — not just surfacing insights, but acting on them.

“Imagine a seller or CSM having the same conversation with an AI that knows your customer’s usage trends, billing history, and renewal date — all in context,” said Gerger. “That’s where revenue management becomes intelligence management.”

Banks expanded on how AI and usage data combine to anticipate customer needs and prevent revenue leakage: “When you store estimation data alongside actuals, AI can instantly flag the gap. You can re-engage before a customer churns or before a billing surprise happens.”

From Usage to Outcomes: The Next Frontier of Monetization

As the session closed, the group reflected on a major industry shift: the movement from usage-based pricing to outcome-based monetization.

“Customers used to buy licenses,” Banks said. “Now they’re buying results. They want to pay for the outcomes they achieve, not just the inputs they consume.”

The panel discussed how companies are experimenting with pre-commit and burn-down models — similar to those used by AI and cloud providers — where customers commit to outcomes and pay as those outcomes are delivered.

“If usage tells you what’s happening,” said Burry, “outcomes tell you why it matters.”

It’s a future where every transaction, renewal, and expansion is tied to measurable impact — and where connected data makes those impacts transparent.

The Continuous Advantage

Built natively on Salesforce and NetSuite, Continuous automates the entire quote-to-cash lifecycle — from quoting and pricing to billing, revenue recognition, and usage visibility.

Recap: The Signals That Power Smart Selling l Dreamforce 2025

Posted on November 3, 2025 by Rachel Bruce - Embedded Revenue Infrastructure

Rachel Bruce

A Dreamforce 2025 recap on how AI, connected data, and usage signals are reshaping quote-to-cash, pricing, and customer growth.

TL;DR
- AI is shifting monetization from licenses and inputs to outcomes and measurable value.
- Usage data and connected systems are the foundation for fair, flexible pricing models.
- Unified product, contract, and financial data enable real-time insight and faster decisions.
- New KPIs like consumption cohorts and overage revenue better reflect customer value.
- Companies that design for flexibility will lead as quote-to-consumption replaces quote-to-cash.

At Dreamforce 2025, leaders from Continuous, FULLPRESS, and Dynatrace gathered to explore how AI and unified data are reshaping the quote-to-cash journey — powering smarter pricing, faster decisions, and measurable customer value. Moderated by Danielle Adams of Continuous, the discussion unpacked how organizations are moving from static subscription models to flexible, outcome-based monetization and what it takes to operationalize that change inside today’s systems.

Artificial intelligence isn’t just improving workflows and automating tasks, it’s fundamentally changing how we define value. The focus is moving from inputs, like licenses or API calls, to outcomes — the measurable benefits customers achieve, explained Banks.

Instead of “buy X seats,” it’s now “pay for Y results.” Companies are moving toward outcome-based models where pricing reflects real usage and delivered value. AI makes this possible because it allows precise measurement of engagement, case resolutions, or predictive impact — metrics that were hard to quantify before.

And with that comes flexibility — launching AI-powered capabilities as add-ons, usage credits, or pilot programs. It’s changing pricing from static tiers to dynamic, evolving frameworks that adapt as customers adopt.

Keenan Wojnicz (FULLPRESS) agreed. “We used to debate what a fair price was,” he said. “Now, fairness is in the outcome. When you tie usage directly to customer value, pricing becomes objective, not guesswork.”  

Tools like Salesforce Revenue Cloud (now called Salesforce Agentforce Revenue Management) and Continuous’ AI-driven platform make that possible, connecting product telemetry to go-to-market data for a real-time view of performance. The result: smarter pricing, clearer ROI, and stronger customer relationships.

“Now, fairness is in the outcome. When you tie usage directly to customer value, pricing becomes objective, not guesswork.”

Connected Data: The Engine of Modern Monetization

If AI is the brain of smart selling, connected data is its bloodstream. Chitrang Patel (Dynatrace) described how his company unified usage data scattered across systems. “AI doesn’t work without unified data,” he said. “Once we connected everything, we could correlate product usage, training, and outcomes — and act on it.”  

Continuous played a pivotal role, helping Dynatrace move from overnight batch processing to real-time insight. “What took six hours now happens in minutes,” Patel said. “That agility lets us make decisions and serve customers faster.”  

Banks underscored the importance of incremental progress: “Start simple — daily or hourly reporting — then evolve toward real time. Once people see insights, they’ll want more.” Transparency also emerged as a differentiator. Dynatrace now shares consumption data directly with customers — a move Patel said “builds trust and drives proactive engagement.”

“What took six hours now happens in minutes. “That agility lets us make decisions and serve customers faster.”  - Chitrang Patel, Dynatrace

New Metrics for a Usage-Driven World

Traditional KPIs like ARR and MRR no longer tell the whole story. “Boards want to know how much growth comes through usage,” said Wojnicz. “Cohort analysis and on-demand revenue tracking paint a clearer picture than static bookings.”  

Patel added, “Overage revenue — customers exceeding their commitments — has become a key indicator of adoption.” Banks (Continuous) explained that uniting financial and product data changes the game: “When usage, billing, and revenue recognition live in one system, finance can move from defense to offense.”  

‘Traditional metrics like ARR and MRR don’t tell the whole story anymore. Companies are introducing new KPIs—on-demand revenue, overage ratios, consumption cohorts—that actually track how value is realized, not just sold.”

Flexibility and the Future of Quote-to-Consumption

As the session closed, Adams asked each panelist for one piece of advice for leaders navigating this shift.  

“Define your North Star AI strategy,” said Wojnicz. “Know what data you’ll need and make sure your systems can deliver it.”  

“Focus on customer experience,” said Patel. “Be transparent with usage and help customers realize value — that’s how you build trust.”  

And Banks reminded attendees to “Design for flexibility. Pricing will change; your systems must evolve with it. Those who adapt fastest will lead.”  

The conversation ended with a shared vision of the future as quote-to-consumption driven, with continuous data flow as the fuel for smart selling. “The entire customer lifecycle—selling, onboarding, renewal—is blending into one continuous loop of insight and action that will drive customer value and growth together.” said Banks   “And that loop only works if data is unified. When telemetry, contracts, and finance data all live together, AI can finally operate on the full picture.” added Wojnicz.

As Adams summed up: “When data is unified and AI is embedded across the lifecycle, every day becomes a selling day.” What happens in Salesforce flows cleanly into NetSuite, without surprises.

“When data is unified and AI is embedded across the lifecycle, every day becomes a selling day.” – Danielle Adams, Continuous

The Continuous Advantage

Salesforce and NetSuite weren’t built to handle complex quote-to-cash — especially when usage, credits, or hybrid deals enter the mix. The result: manual workarounds, disconnected tools, and teams buried in spreadsheets.  Continuous fixes that.  

Built natively on Salesforce and NetSuite, Continuous automates the entire quote-to-cash lifecycle — from quoting and pricing to billing, revenue recognition, and usage visibility. Sales can configure any deal type directly in Salesforce, while finance bills and reconciles automatically in NetSuite.  

By embedding automation and usage intelligence inside the systems teams already use, Continuous eliminates integration friction, speeds time to revenue, and gives companies a single, trusted view of every customer.  Continuous delivers what those systems can’t — modern quote-to-cash, out of the box.

Reclaim Your Roadmap: Why In-House Usage Rating & Billing Logic Might Be Stalling Product Innovation

Posted on July 17, 2025 by Sean Joyce - Consumption-Based Pricing

Sean Joyce

For product, engineering, and RevOps teams, this article explains why in-house usage rating and billing logic becomes a drag on innovation, and how offloading operational complexity helps teams scale faster.

TL;DR
- Building custom usage rating and billing logic offers early control but creates growing maintenance and complexity as pricing evolves.
- Engineers get pulled into finance rules, edge cases, and compliance work that slows feature delivery.
- Embedding revenue logic inside product code introduces performance risk, fragile integrations, and technical debt.
- Offloading usage rating and billing into revenue infrastructure frees engineers to focus on core product innovation.

Intro

Customers choose your product for the value your features deliver—not for the billing engine under the hood. While building usage rating and billing logic can initially offer control and flexibility, as complexity grows and new pricing models are introduced, engineering teams often find themselves burdened by ongoing maintenance of credit logic and billing rules.

After all, who knows your usage better than you? It seems logical to leverage that insight internally, especially when usage data also supports analytics, operations, and customer insights.

But what often starts as a well-intentioned and logical choice to maintain control can, as your business scales and product offerings evolve, introduce hidden complexity. Prepaid credits, tiered pricing, and sophisticated overage rules can turn initial flexibility into a significant drain on engineering time, focus, and resources, pulling them away from the innovations that truly set your product apart.

Tuning Your Custom Usage Rating and Billing Engine

For companies who’ve already invested in in-house rating and billing, the goal isn’t always a full rip-and-replace. It’s about optimizing your investment and strategically shifting additional complexity from your core product so you can scale more easily, move faster, and free engineers to build the capabilities that differentiate you.

Even well-built, custom usage rating and billing logic often encounters increasing friction as businesses scale and innovate:

Expertise Shortfall: Accurate usage-rating, billing, and revenue recognition rely on nuanced finance rules, tax regulations, and compliance standards. As new tiers or credit models emerge, keeping up with edge cases (proration, true-ups, audit trails) can become a specialist’s job, not a feature team’s.
On-Going Maintenance: Every pricing tweak—new discount tier, updated overage rate, expired credit pool—translates into code changes and QA cycles. That steady upkeep can quietly consume cycles meant for customer-facing innovation.
Fragile Integrations: Custom connections to Salesforce, NetSuite, or your own analytics stack can break when data models or schemas shift—leading to mismatches that require urgent fixes.
Performance Degradation: Running core revenue logic inside your application can introduce additional CPU, I/O, or network calls—potentially adding latency to user transactions and affecting overall system responsiveness, impacting the very experience your product aims to deliver.
Growing Technical Debt: Quick-win patches for one-off pricing or usage rules often become permanent fixtures. Over time, those patches form a web of interdependencies that slows every release, making your codebase harder to manage and evolve.
Roadmap Slowdown: When usage and billing logic is deeply embedded in your product, every update carries the risk of unintended side effects on rating or billing. This can significantly drag down feature velocity and delay crucial product roadmap items.
Audit & Compliance Overhead: Ensuring every transaction and revenue event is auditable and compliant with financial regulations (like SOX) requires complex logging and reconciliation, pulling engineers into non-feature work.

The good news? For many, the path forward isn’t necessarily a full rip-and-replace of existing systems. Instead, it’s about strategically offloading the operational complexities that slow you down, allowing you to optimize your current investment while reclaiming valuable engineering cycles.

Unlock Agility with Embedded Revenue Infrastructure

Instead of grappling with operational complexity in your product, shift it into a specialized layer that seamlessly plugs into the tools your teams already use. Embedded Revenue Infrastructure empowers you to:

Centralize metering and rating in a purpose-built service, keeping complex usage rating and billing logic out of your product code
Configure pricing models via UI, empowering non-technical teams to add or tweak usage tiers, prepaid credits, and rate plans without a single line of code.
Surface real-time usage insights directly in Salesforce, eliminating manual exports, custom integrations, and the delays of spreadsheet gymnastics.
Automate credit burn and revenue events through APIs, moving beyond manual scripts and batch jobs to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
Free engineers to focus on shipping features that truly propel your product forward and delight customers.

By strategically moving this logic out of your product codebase, you accelerate feature delivery, scale reliably, and eliminate the hidden costs of managing homegrown billing and rating.

Modern usage rating, billing, and overage management should always accelerate product velocity, not stall it. When facing complex pricing models—like prepaid credits, hybrid plans, or multi-phase commitments—the critical question for Product and Engineering leadership becomes: What logic is truly strategic to our core product, and what is operational infrastructure that pulls engineers away from building differentiating features? Your engineers need to focus on delivering that core innovation, not patching metering pipelines or maintaining invoicing scripts.

Sean Joyce

For finance and RevOps teams using NetSuite, this article explains how embedding revenue operations into sales processes helps automate pricing, billing, and revenue without adding standalone billing tools.

TL;DR
- NetSuite customers are often pushed to add standalone billing tools to handle complex pricing and revenue workflows.
- Embedding revenue operations earlier in the sales cycle aligns quoting, billing, and revenue recognition inside NetSuite.
- Automated pricing, rating, billing, and credit tracking reduce manual work and compliance risk.
- A unified revenue operations approach gives finance real-time visibility without duplications or integrations.

Make Every Day a Selling Event: Unlock Expansion Revenue with Usage & Prepaid Metrics

Posted on June 18, 2025 by Sean Joyce - Consumption-Based Pricing

Sean Joyce

For sales and RevOps teams, this article explains how usage and prepaid metrics act as daily selling signals, and how surfacing them in Salesforce helps drive expansion revenue and retention.

TL;DR
- Customers signal buying intent every day through usage spikes, credit burn, and feature adoption.
- When usage and prepaid data live outside Salesforce, reps miss expansion and renewal opportunities.
- Usage and credit metrics form a hidden expansion pipeline, not just health indicators.
- Surfacing these signals directly in Salesforce helps reps act earlier and capture more revenue.

Intro: How many upsells slipped through because your reps never saw the signal? As prepaid usage models become the SaaS standard, that blind spot costs quota and growth.

Every day, customers signal buying intent through usage spikes, burned-down credits, and feature engagement. But if your reps can’t see those signals, they can’t act. And that’s revenue left on the table.

Reps Can’t Sell What They Can’t See

Sales teams live in Salesforce, but usage and prepaid credit data usually doesn’t. It’s scattered across billing systems, siloed in finance-owned spreadsheets, or buried in your product, far from where selling happens.

Without visibility:

Reps miss the exact moment to expand or renew
Deals become harder to land, renewals get riskier, and churn risk rises
Customers get blindsided by surprise overages, eroding trust

When sales can’t see the signals, growth stalls.
Reps chase new logos while existing customers go untapped. Acquisition costs rise. Forecasts get shaky. And what should be low-effort expansions turn into missed quarters.

Usage & Prepaid Metrics Are Your Expansion Pipeline

Your next wave of pipeline isn’t in marketing leads—it’s hiding in product activity and prepaid consumption. Every usage spike or credit drawdown is a trigger for upsell. Every under-utilized plan is a retention warning.

Key signals include:

Usage spikes or growth trends signaling immediate need.
Low credit balances approaching zero, indicating an upsell window before overages occur.
Balances nearing expiration on prepaid commitments—prime time for renewal or upsell conversations.
Feature adoption patterns that hint at cross-sell opportunities.

These aren’t just health metrics, they’re daily, high-value selling signals.

Continuous Puts the Signals Where Sales Works

What if every buying signal showed up in Salesforce as it happens—usage spikes, low credit balances, looming expirations, and under-utilized features?
No external reports. No manual data hunts. Just timely, high-value signals delivered where reps already work.

Continuous brings usage and credit data into Salesforce with no extra systems and no added steps. Just the signals that matter into the tools you already use so sales teams can stop reacting and start anticipating.
