Aria Systems Closes Out Banner Year Marked by Record Growth, Significant Client Wins, Expanding Global Presence, and Major Industry Recognition

Aria Systems, the leader in helping enterprises grow subscription- and usage-based revenue, completed a record 2019 highlighted by unprecedented growth, the addition of multiple Fortune 500 clients, significant expansions from existing customers, and leadership recognition from top industry analyst firms. The company continued its upward trajectory, securing more deals with large enterprises across a broad range of industries and geographies that have turned to Aria as a key partner for their digital transformations as they introduce new and more sophisticated recurring revenue business models at scale.
