These systems offer functionalities such as billing and invoicing, revenue management, subscription management, payment management, financial reporting, and others. They are used across various industries, including information technology and telecommunications, banking, financial services, insurance, healthcare, retail, media and entertainment, among others.

These tariffs are increasing operational expenses for software vendors and customers alike. At the same time, they are encouraging regional cloud hosting, localized software development, and greater adoption of open-source and modular billing platforms.
