- [Instructor] A surprising area that I find a lot of enterprise customers overlook is the type of account that they set up and how they set up their billing. I highly recommend that, for enterprise usage, you set up invoiced billing, and this documentation explains it. If you have invoiced billing, you're going to get your costs and then you're going to get billed monthly, and you're going to get your invoice by the fifth business day of each month, okay? I see a lot of enterprises that are on self-serve, which is basically on a credit card, and this really is not the direction that you want to go. For invoiced billing, you get a set of services that are more in alignment with enterprise cost management.
