Revenue model

1. SaaS subscriptions: Primary revenue stream. Recurring subscription access to the unified Medispend compliance SaaS platform (Regulatory Science, Commercial Compliance, Medical Affairs, Field Enablement, Revenue Management modules including Beacon, iCoach, iContracts, PROTECT, GCD, MedispendIQ). The 2026 merger press release explicitly frames the combined company as "The Leading Life Sciences Compliance Software-as-a-Service Provider."
2. Managed services / consulting: Secondary revenue stream from implementation, configuration, managed services, and compliance advisory engagements (e.g., "Global Compliance Digest Team" compliance specialists, "Talk to a Member of the Global Compliance Digest Team" CTA, contact form options for Managed Services / IT Consulting & Advisory / Cyber Security). Typically lands alongside enterprise SaaS deals.
