Revenue Assurance is fast becoming an enterprise-wide tool and RevenuePad provides CSPs with such abilities, in addition to allowing them to grow the function through assistance in roadmap planning and maturity enhancement. It will also guide CSPs on which assurance areas and KPIs to cover to improve operational performance and advance along the maturity scale. RevenuePad will also be available as a mobile app for iPad, with apps for other mobile device platforms to follow soon.

Zen is a path breaking approach to help Revenue Assurance analysts fight the data tsunami. CSPs and RA analysts are trying to find the needle in the haystack and Zen is the industry’s first solution that sifts through millions of records and zooms in on the problem area in a matter of seconds. This dramatically reduces the time to find root causes (by more than 90 %) and provides a substantial boost to analyst productivity, thereby helping CSPs recover revenues much faster.

“The ROC Revenue Assurance solution along with its RevenuePad and Zen capabilities will be a one-stop shop for a CSP’s Revenue Assurance needs. Once again, Subex exhibited its thought leadership by setting a new direction for RA,” said Sudeesh Yezhuvath, Chief Operating Officer at Subex. “Additionally, the ROC Revenue Assurance 5 Solution is mobile device enabled and can be accessed by service providers anywhere anytime. This means that they will be able to gauge the Revenue Assurance health, analyze key metrics and make important decisions on the move”.

The ROC Revenue Assurance 5 solution is market ready. For more information visit: http://www.subex.com/roc-revenue-assurance-5-virtual-launch-13th-feb-2012-website-event.html

The Revenue Assurance Maturity Model Study, conducted by TM Forum, assessed the penetration of revenue assurance concepts by geographic regions and markets, including mobile and fixed line. Data was contributed by 33 Communications Service Providers from 26 countries, with subscriber bases ranging from less than 500,000 to more than 10 million. Participants responded to 53 questions that characterized the maturity of their approaches to revenue assurance. The report was supported through sponsorship by cVidya Networks.

As a group, the 19 mobile operators survey participants scored 36% higher than fixed line operators across all the measured dimensions, with an average score of 3.55 out of 5. Mobile operators’ rapid adoption of revenue assurance principles has been driven by their need to generate increasing revenues while rapidly introducing new services and technologies.

“We see strong adoption of the TM Forum Revenue Assurance work in general and of the Revenue Assurance Maturity Model in particular, especially in Europe and Latin America,” said Martin Creaner, TM Forum President and COO. “The study findings demonstrate the growing traction worldwide of Revenue Assurance principles and TM Forum best practices, but also highlight there is still significant room for improvement in service provider’s revenue assurance strategies.” TM Forum’s Revenue Assurance Maturity Model defines a consistent framework for assessing the maturity of a Service Provider’s revenue assurance business, determine their revenue assurance business priorities, and identify a strategic path to improve their delivery of revenue assurance.

The study focused on 5 dimensions of revenue assurance: Organization, People, Influence, Tools, and Process. Service Provider responses were mapped to the 5-step Maturity Model that ranges from Initial, in which revenue assurance processes are dominated by individual, chaotic efforts, to Optimizing, in which the Service Provider takes a holistic approach with continuous improvement feedback.

Tonia Graham, TM Forum Business Benchmarking program manager added, “The industry as a whole scored roughly 3.5 out of 5 overall in the Revenue Assurance Maturity Model. Strong correlation between the scores in all 5 study dimensions indicates the industry is maturing along all 5 simultaneously, which is consistent with TM Forum best practice.” The Revenue Assurance Maturity Model Study is the latest in a series of TM Forum Business Benchmarking studies that provide detailed insights into specific topics. The Revenue Assurance Maturity Model Study report complements the ongoing work of TM Forum’s Revenue Management Initiative, which drives the TM Forum’s extensive billing, revenue, and customer management efforts.

2008 represents an important milestone for 3 and for Intec: over five years in production with the world’s first fully convergent customer care, charging, and billing infrastructure – using a single data model, single product catalogue, single database, single rating engine, and single balance manager for both pre-paid and post-paid services. This landmark anniversary clearly demonstrates that Intec Singl.eView is a market-hardened system, designed from the start for convergence, and proven to deliver tangible business benefits. 3’s operations globally have a higher than average ARPU for their countries, and, significantly, higher non-voice revenues than their competitors.

As testament to its wide ranging value, Intec Singl.eView has now been chosen by communication service providers on all five continents and is delivering unsurpassed levels of performance and reliability, while managing well over 100 million subscribers across the globe.

3 UK CTO Graham Baxter said “3 has had an enormous impact on the market place since our launch five years ago, and we continue to lead the way with new innovation which helps customers in their everyday lives. Our working partnership with Intec has made a significant contribution to our success, and I believe this five year milestone also reflects the longest and most successful production record for a fully convergent real-time rating and billing solution.”

“No matter how complex 3’s requirements or the breadth of their country reach, our high performance solutions have contributed towards the significant competitive edge 3 have established in the market,” concluded Andrew Taylor, CEO of Intec. “We have shown through our long-term relationship with 3 that Intec should be the first choice for operators needing true convergence, and the highest levels of billing and charging flexibility to differentiate their market proposition from that of their competitors.”
