The Internet of Things (IoT) has surged dramatically in recent years, becoming one of the most hyped, discussed, and anticipated technologies. As this excitement continues, the inherent value and potential of IoT are becoming increasingly evident.

The Usage Economy has arrived—and companies that aren’t driving or adapting to the changing business landscape are going to be left in the dust. Usage-based transactions (or usage-based billing), as the name suggests, are centered around customers paying for what they use.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly expanding, with predictions of 27 billion devices connected by 2025, transforming both consumer and B2B sectors. This growth is not only introducing innovative devices into homes but also revolutionizing traditional machine-to-machine (M2M) communications, commonly referred to as B2B IoT.
Subscriptions have simplified the customer buying process, but many companies are now opting for usage-based pricing for more customer-oriented services and revenue growth. Platform providers in IoT, Communications, Cloud, and Software need to handle complex billing for millions of customers globally, necessitating usage-based models.
