Headwinds Remain

Coronavirus crisis-triggered sluggish spending across small and medium businesses owing to restricted economic activity, and weak job market are likely to exert pressure on adoption of Model N’s revenue management software solutions in the foreseeable future.

Moreover, increasing expenses on enhancing Revenue Cloud, amid stiff competition from Oracle’s ORCL Revenue Management and Billing Cloud services, and Workday (NASDAQ:WDAY) Revenue Management is likely to impede margins, at least in the near term.
