Customer Validation
"Technology and digitization are helping Schneider Electric build deeper, more valuable customer relationships," said Hervé Coureil, CIO of Schneider Electric. "Zuora is helping us design and implement new go-to-market models that will fuel growth and long-term market advantage." 

"Zuora has been our partner since day one, helping us scale -- from an early-stage startup to IPO -- and disrupt the content management and collaboration market," said Aaron Levie, CEO of Box.

"At HubSpot, we believe there is a fundamental mismatch between how organizations market and sell, and the way people actually shop and buy," said Jim O'Neill, CIO of HubSpot. "Subscription-based models help businesses grow, but also hold companies accountable for long-term value to their customers, which is something we care deeply about. Zuora helps make this possible."

"At Fairfax Media, we are shifting from a media company to a subscription company, allowing us to focus on building meaningful relationships with our subscriber base," said Marc Thompson, GM of product solutions of Fairfax Media. "In subscriptions, it's all about speed, agility and acquiring customers; Zuora and Salesforce helped us achieve our 12-month growth goals in just three months."
