What is the business model

The user group for Google Orbitera includes cloud service providers, software resellers, and independent software vendors (ISVs) who need a platform to manage cloud product sales and billing. These users often work with multiple cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. They are responsible for setting up and managing cloud services for their customers, so they need a tool that simplifies tasks like pricing, invoicing, and subscription management. Their main goals are to reduce manual work, streamline operations, and offer their customers a smooth purchasing experience. They value flexibility, automation, and easy integration with their existing systems.

Solving for high labor cost

Currently, CSPs and ISVs spend most of their time (72%) on maintaining daily operations, leaving little room for business innovation (28%). The goal is to reverse this, allowing users to focus more on growth and less on routine tasks. By simplifying key features like multi-level billing, easy-to-use dashboards, product provisioning, and white-label marketplaces, the platform can help users shift their resources toward driving innovation, making it easier to manage cloud services and scale their businesses.
