Especially in an increasingly competetive market and in times of shrinking margins, the ability of your network to generate maximized revenue is the key to success.
The loss of any CDR or Transaction record during the processing from Switch or Transaction Platforms via Mediation to Rating and Billing, as well as undetected fraudulent behaviour of subscribers will cause negativ impact on turnover or cash.
Without clear and accurate data analysis concerning the billing system performance and the detection of fraud, effective and target oriented counter actions cannot be employed in order to secure your company`s revenue.
Ascom's Revenue Assurance solution is a combination of products (and processes), through which the major facttors leading to revenue losses can detected, corrected and controlled. It is build upon two products : CashBack and MEGS.
CashBack is a powerful tool to eliminate all revenue losses during CDR processing in the billing chain (revenue leakage).
This system helps you to identify problem areas, for example in the billing cycle, and provides a clear picture about optimisation benefits.
CashBack processes input data from various CDR- or IPDR-streams. It compares input streams, compares matching rates, and displays discrepancies by means of configurable reports and graphs.
MEGS uses CCS7 data for extremely fast fraud detection. A large set of innovative high quality solutions, e.g. for integrating a diverse set of data streams (e.g. subscriber data, credit limit information, external alarm data) or for automating the detection process for flexible actions (e.g. partial blockings), are at the very core of this system.
All functionalities of Revenue Assurance are provided in a very user-friendly environment:
- CDR terms can be configured
- data can be filtered
- CDR attributes can be translated
- the results can be shown in configurable detailed reports and graphs
- long term statistics support the overall optimization process
CashBack implements a black box monitoring approach. It allows end-to-end control of your billing chain and provides a true picture about processing quality. Thus you will achieve:
- substantial reduction of losses
- enhancement in process quality
- SOX-compliant solutions
MEGS is a high performance fraud detection system that provides:
- analysis of different types of data.
Thus, any type of subscribers with fraudulent behaviour of when credit limits are reached/ supassed will be detected.
- optimized operator interface for easy detection of fraud and reached/ surpassed credit limits
- quick alarm generation
- optionally, a fully automatically working system for fraud detection.
