How Okteto delivers end-customer excellence by using MonetizeNow over competitors

“Our biggest customers need ramp deals. I was blown away when I saw MonetizeNow run through an example ramp deal with full configuration. The deal looked great and all the analytics were spot on. MonetizeNow has a next level understanding of our type of business. When I asked competitors for a similar example they thought I was a rocket scientist - they didn’t get it.”

Situation

Okteto was ready to scale. To do so, the team needed a monetization engine to fully streamline this next chapter of growth. Okteto was looking to evolve;

Most critical to the Okteto team were,

1. Data: exhaustive, simple, intuitive, to have the right insights to make informed decisions to run the business.
2. Error-free: reducing manual errors, inconsistencies, and gaps that in aggregate can lead to missed revenue generation or collection.
3. Simplicity: give time back to Sales and Finance to focus on business growth over administration.

Why Okteto selected MonetizeNow?

Okteto reviewed a handful of potential solutions to their needs including Cacheflow, Salesforce CPQ, and MonetizeNow. In their investigation, the Okteto team used the collection of their goals to elevate their potential partners, but above all was the desire to enable their go-to-market process. Their monetization partner needed to support their go-to-market process, not be curbed to fit their technology purchase.

This is where competitors fell short, and MonetizeNow shined.
