Leading cloud services and IT solutions provider needed single platform to create invoices from multiple data sources while integrating with key Netsuite and Microsoft systems

LONDON, Feb. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BillingPlatform, the enterprise revenue lifecycle management platform for today’s innovative business models, today announced that Advania, a leading Microsoft partner in the UK, has chosen BillingPlatform’s Billing, Customer Portal and enhanced support to replace multiple legacy billing systems with one solution to automate and scale its subscription, usage-based and other billing needs. BillingPlatform is working with a UK partner, Synthesis Systems, on the Advania deployment.

Part of the Advania Group, which has more than 5,000 experts serving mid-market companies and enterprises across Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Finland and Denmark, its UK business offers managed services, hardware, software and professional services with expertise in AI-enabled and digital automation solutions for financial services, retail, public sector and other verticals across the UK. The company is one of Microsoft’s leading partners in the region specialising in Azure, Security, Dynamics 365 and Microsoft 365 with a focus on using its experience in transformational IT services to help customers get the most of their technology investments.

As its business scaled and customer billing became increasingly complex to support a range of pricing strategies – from licence subscriptions to usage-based and technical consulting services – Advania wanted to replace its multiple legacy billing systems and consolidate onto a single platform.

With global customers serving multiple industries, including software, finance, media and entertainment and communications, BillingPlatform is the only billing and revenue management solution on the market that enables enterprises to monetize any type of product offering, from simple subscriptions to sophisticated usage-based pricing models and everything in between. BillingPlatform provides full lifecycle support of the monetization process – from product setup, quoting, billing and invoicing, revenue recognition, through payment and collections – all on a secure, next-generation cloud platform. The unparalleled flexibility of the platform puts enterprises in control of how they differentiate in the market, maximize profitability, reduce operational costs and improve the customer experience.

“With its expertise in AI, cybersecurity and other advanced technologies, Advania is accelerating the digital transformation of mid-market companies across the UK with the knowledge that they will be able to support their customers’ unique needs and deliver a seamless customer experience,” said Dennis Wall, BillingPlatform CEO. “We are excited to be a part of the company’s growth journey and provide them with the ability to future-proof their business.”

Bybit x Block Scholes Derivatives Report: ETH Outperforms BTC

bybit-x-block-scholes-derivatives-report:-eth-outperforms-btc

DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, in collaboration with Blocks Scholes, released the latest weekly derivatives analytics report and uncovered signals indicating ETH’s rise above BTC in the past week.

Fueled by news of current U.S. SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s departure at the end of the Biden administration’s term, ETH performance has positively surprised investors. In particular, open interest in ETH perpetual has been on the rise. Several large-cap altcoins also benefited from Gensler’s announcement, anticipating less scrutiny upcoming January.

Key Insights:

ETH outperformed BTC in open interest: Perpetual swap data has seen a gradual decline in BTC open interest while ETH contracts increased. ETH has also been taking a bigger share of daily trading volumes in the past 6-month time frame despite an overall slower market this week. The optimism could be attributed to hopeful investors’ expectation of a more crypto-friendly SEC Chair after Gensler’s last day on Jan. 20, 2025.

BTC price in retreat: BTC price’s ebbing from the $100K mark has flattened the ATM volatility term structure, with short-tenor options dipping below 60%. This mirrors a pattern observed since the U.S. election. Lower realized volatility explains the drop, while open interest in calls and puts remains unchanged, demands for short-term options this week have stagnated.

ETH options – bullish sentiment in moderation: ETH options show slightly more bullish sentiment than BTC options. Markets have recalibrated after the post-election high, but call options remain in the lead in both trading volumes and open interests.
