Tzuo, the co-founder and CEO of Zuora, an enterprise software company that creates and provides subscription management software for businesses, writes that the world is moving from product-based to service-based business as customers increasingly prefer access over ownership.[1] [2] Tzuo writes that subscription models require constant adaptation to customers needs to retain those customers, and those that do not adapt will go out of business.[1]

It includes case studies of traditional businesses, such as the guitar company Fender or the manufacturer Caterpillar, that have found success offering subscription access to their products and services.[1]
