SOFTRAX Revenue Management System for CIOs and IT Professionals

Optimize IT for Revenue Recognition and Compliance

The introduction of the ASC 606 / IFRS 15 revenue recognition guidelines added additional pressure to IT departments, as companies are expected to recognize revenue in tandem with customer contracts and produce the associated data in reporting. ASC 606 compliance now requires organizations to recognize revenue as value is transferred to the client, often irrespective of the billing process. This creates new challenges as it breaks the fundamental architecture of ERP and legacy systems. This creates a situation where billing fulfillment and revenue recognition systems don’t interact and has caused a significant migration back to spreadsheets.

The IT department is tasked with making these connections and reports happen, despite the complexity of the tasks and the number of resources required. SOFTRAX offers the world’s only system, the SOFTRAX Revenue Management System (RMS), that combines best-in-class automation for one-time, milestone, subscription, consumption, and renewal billing and complex revenue recognition in a single solution. This revenue accounting platform acts as a layer between existing CRM/CPQ and ERP systems to take the burden of reporting and integration from the IT department.

ASC 606 / IFRS 15 Compliance Made Easy

ASC 606 / IFRS 15 is guidance developed by FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to drive consistency in financial reporting across industries through a five-step model for revenue recognition. Its goal is to create a standard method of recognizing revenue at the contract level for companies in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. The data required to meet the compliance tenets of ASC 606 / IFRS 15 is found in the revenue recognition, billing, and contract systems, meaning that an IT department’s best bet is a system that can automate revenue recognition according to the five steps of the standard. SOFTRAX is well-versed in ASC 606 / IFRS 15 compliance and can automate your reporting on Day One.

ERP System Integration

Many companies use ERP or other financial systems to handle their order-to-cash and order-to-revenue recognition processes. These systems have a strong foundation and are good for a variety of functions, but lack the agility needed in today’s economy. ASC 606 / IFRS 15 and the billing and revenue recognition requirements are too much for most ERP systems to handle, and the company’s IT department is left to fill the gap. Or, there may be a case in which the IT department is asked to integrate a division or acquisition company’s ERP system. In each scenario, SOFTRAX can help by automating key functions, eliminating manual entries, and gathering the right data. Our client, 3M Health Information Systems (3M HIS), a division of 3M Company, and a leader in clinician, revenue cycle, and performance management technology and services for the healthcare industry, needed to integrate a significant and sizeable acquisition that brought new requirements to offer subscription and consumption-based billing. SOFTRAX worked with them to meet these requirements seamlessly.
