Lessons From Our Customers
1.  Consider putting Sales Ops and Billing Ops together
2.  Remember that Commerce is about relationships so
interactions are important
3.  Commerce is multi-channel
4.  It needs to be designed as an end-to-end process around
the subscription
5.  Without automation, there is no scale
