The Usage Economy Podcast

CFO Bookshelf's Mark Gandy hosts Adam Howatson, CEO - LogiSense

Consumers and business students know the subscription economy, but what about the usage economy? How does it differ, and why does it matter?

The first topic covered was the transition from a perpetual license model to subscription pricing, which was really a cost-plus model that included value for the hosting and intellectual property. Adam believes we are in a similar pivot from subscription-based pricing to Usage-Based Pricing.
