About this Constellation ShortList
The emergence of a subscription economy coupled with digital business models drives the creation of a new type of solution known as Smart Services Digital Monetization Platforms. Legacy monetization systems lack the ability to support subscriptions, consumption-based models, and one-time transactions. Smart Services Digital Monetization Platforms provide a monetization solution for organizations operating untraditional business models. These platforms are expected to support business models built on smart services for the Internet of Things, blockchain consensus, and sharing economies. This market is estimated to grow to $ 14.3 billion by 2030.
