Aria Systems Announces Aria for Connected Vehicles

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 20, 2016) -  Aria Systems, the leader in helping enterprises grow subscription and usage-based revenue, today announced Aria for Connected Vehicles, a cloud-based offering for IoT-enabled connected cars, heavy equipment, on-demand transportation as a service, telematics, and post-sale/lease add-on services. Aria for Connected Vehicles can be employed by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), third-party device manufacturers, and service providers who need to rapidly create, introduce, test, and scale a wide variety of IoT and digital offerings. Innovative enterprises like Edmunds.com, Subaru, and Zipcar already depend on Aria for increased agility that accelerates their time to revenue, maximizes customer lifetime value, and ultimately fuels brand loyalty and retention.

With the automotive industry being disrupted by innovators like Uber, Zipcar, and Chariot, manufacturers are shifting their business models from a transactional sales focus to owning long-term recurring customer relationships. To facilitate longer, more predictable revenue streams, they are looking to become closer to their end customer, gain better feedback, and align their offerings with customer choices.

Industry disruption is opening up new opportunities for recurring revenue streams from services inside and outside the vehicle. Yet, legacy business systems can't enable the go-to-market speed or the agility required to adapt to the evolving end-consumer preferences that new revenue models require.

According to the June 2016 Forrester report by Frank Gillett, The Retrofit Future of the Connected Car, "It's time for product CTOs and CIOs to explore the tech to support new services." He adds, "Follow the lead of the CMO in targeting specific customer experiences. Now is the time to start mapping and strategizing the IoT technologies, software and data integration, analytics, enterprise architecture, and IoT software platforms that you'll need." (Gillett, 2016)

Aria for Connected Vehicles manages the monetization of innovative subscription and usage-based IoT services without compromising enterprise-grade scalability, performance, and security. With Aria, connected vehicle offerings can be constructed into an infinite combination of one-to-one and one-to-many permutations of users, data services, and devices.
