IMN, E-Communication Solution Provider, Chooses Aria Systems as New Billing Platform

Aria Systems, Inc., the leading provider of on demand billing and customer lifecycle management, announces the launch of IMN on Aria’s Billing Platform. Aria’s Billing Platform has enabled IMN to create new plans and services, expand existing product lines, and unlock new revenue streams. IMN is a Software as a Service (SaaS) provider, specializing in content-driven e-communication services that enable companies to communicate with their customers through multimedia email and enewsletters designed to drive measurable brand impact, product visibility, leads, and sales.

With more than 3,000 active accounts globally representing a wide variety of vertical markets, IMN’s expansion into multi-tier distribution channels required a billing system that could track distributor relationships and support multi-tier compensation. IMN chose Aria Systems for several reasons including: end-to-end level 1 PCI compliant security, automation of account activities including on-boarding and provisioning, channel management of third party sales and distribution activity, and activity management of system usage in real-time.

Today, IMN plans to use the self-service features of the Aria Billing Platform to gain strategic insight about customer activity and apply that information when driving business decisions.

“Aria has been pivotal in helping IMN to leverage economies of scale on the backend,” says Philip Werner, Vice President of Products, IMN. “Thanks to Aria, we can continue to focus on new product development and the needs of our clients.”

“Aria’s Billing Platform is the most proven and tested on demand billing platform on the market today,” said Ed Sullivan, CEO, Aria Systems. “Aria was able to provide the billing flexibility and support that IMN needed at a critical time in its growth strategy. We look forward to IMN’s further success as it continues to grow and extend the Aria Billing Platform to take care of IMN’s billing needs as well as gain insight into its customers’ activities.”
