Domo's Rapid Transformation to Consumption-Based Revenue Model
Domo has shifted over 75% of its ARR to a consumption-based model within just two years, up from a negligible percentage.
The company reported a 108% NRR for customers who initially purchased on a consumption contract, indicating strong expansion potential.

This strategic shift is supported by a broader ecosystem partnership approach, notably with CDWs and hyperscalers.
