Case Study: AppDynamics reduces revenue close time by 40% with Zuora

AppDynamics - Customer Case Study

AppDynamics, a software and technology company that provides real-time application monitoring, needed a revenue automation system as it prepared for IPO readiness and new revenue recognition standards. The company was struggling with manual revenue recognition for complex contracts and professional services, and wanted a solution that would align sales decisions with revenue implications. AppDynamics chose Zuora Revenue to support this effort.

With Zuora, AppDynamics automated revenue processes, eliminated manual accounting for high-volume contracts, and began recognizing professional services revenue based on percentage of completion. The result was a 40% reduction in the time needed to close the books, plus better forecasting and clearer visibility for finance, FP&A, and sales. Overall, Zuora helped AppDynamics build a scalable revenue automation foundation and reduce risk while enabling more strategic decision-making.
