Aria Systems Named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Enterprise-Focused Subscription and Usage Management Applications 2025-2026

Recognition highlights Aria’s leadership in AI-powered, real-time billing for complex enterprise monetization

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aria Systems, the leader in AI-powered billing automation, today announces that it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Enterprise-Focused Subscription and Usage Management Applications 2025-2026. Aria was previously recognized as a Leader in the 2022 IDC MarketScape for the same market.

According to the IDC MarketScape, Aria Billing Cloud is “recognized for accommodating massive billing scale and complexity, enabling organizations to migrate from legacy or manual billing approaches to an event-native, flexible monetization platform.”

The report highlighted Aria’s strengths in the following areas:

• Aria is a purpose-built, API-first billing solution offering robust integration capabilities with well-established CPQ, CRM, and ERP systems.
• In 2024 and 2025, Aria delivered real-time AI products into client production environments. Aria Billie provides embedded conversational copilot functionality, automating and assisting with billing tasks to improve user productivity and engagement. Billie Connect extends agent-to-agent AI, enabling Salesforce and ServiceNow partners, or other AI-based processes, to leverage billing domain expertise without lengthy onboarding or training cycles, turning real-time usage insight into actionable results.
• Aria's deep, seamless integrations with Salesforce and ServiceNow are key strengths, offering embedded billing features and scalable agentic AI automation surfaced natively in partner UIs. TM Forum Gold Certification and participation in TM Forum Catalyst initiatives further demonstrate Aria's commitment to open APIs and interoperability across enterprise and telco environments.

In addition to these strengths, Aria continues to expand its enterprise usage processing capabilities through Aria Allegro, the platform’s high-performance usage rating and mediation engine. Aria Billing Cloud’s ability to accommodate massive billing scale and complexity, covering billions of records per day, is enabled by Aria’s event-driven architecture and support for complex usage-based and hybrid monetization models.

Aria believes the IDC MarketScape is especially relevant for large enterprises as their use of subscriptions, usage-based, and hybrid revenue models continues to expand, shifting billing from a back-office function to a real-time, connected service for customer experience and revenue intelligence that requires a decisive break from legacy systems.

“Enterprises are facing unprecedented complexity as they shift to recurring and usage-based business models,” said Tom Dibble, President & CEO, Aria Systems. “We believe being named a Leader once again by the IDC MarketScape reinforces the value of our strategy and our continued innovation in AI-driven monetization. Our customers rely on Aria Billing Cloud and our ecosystem of integrations and partners to support scale, accuracy, and speed across their global product portfolios.”
