Cost Assurance TCG Drivers (Subscriber to Cost Stream)
Due to the current economic climate, many businesses have recently focused a large amount of effort in redesigning their cost reduction strategies. Network operators are no exception. Regardless of the size of their networks, all operators incur in huge monthly bills which have increasingly been catching the attention of many CFOs.
Over the last year, we have seen an increased demand for solutions aimed at validating key cost streams such as Roaming and Interconnect. At Roscom, we have proven that our powerful TCG has a place in this complex environment.The following are some key drivers for implementing a TCG solution for Cost Assurance:

The need to validate inter-operator.... |
|
|
|
| - | Outbound roaming durations and bytecounts |
| - | Outbound roaming charges for voice and data |
| - | Charges for oubound international calls |
| - | Charges for derived from offnet calls |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
| - | Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) |
| | MVNOs and resellers are in a particular difficult situation because they rely very heavily in third party services which generate them huge costs. At the same time they need to ensure that all their due revenues are assured in an accurate and timely manner. |
|
|
|
|
| It is evident then no wonder why many MVNOs and resellers are increasingly looking for ways of ensuring the accuracy of the bills they receive from their MNOs, roaming partners and carriers and also they bills that they send to their subscribers. |

When factors such as roaming and interconnect are introduced into the overall assurance strategy the possible areas of leakage expand dramatically and identifying any issues can be a very complicated task.
While roaming and interconnect make up a lower percentage of network traffic the revenues involved are much higher and so are the losses - due to the much higher rate per minute involved.
Roscom’s interconnect billing verification tools can detect intra carrier revenue leakages at any point in the revenue chain. Roscom’s Osprey is unique in its ability to test for rating/pricing as well as QoS. In doing so it enables you to maximise revenue.
Bills for Roaming and Interconnection services include several chargeable components. We believe that an integrated assurance programme must validate these component feeds, as well as the combined result.
Roscom have invested a great deal of time and effort in developing tools and providing RA controls covering the complete spectrum of the revenue chain, our development teams have worked diligently to produce solutions to issues of revenue loss due to the problems associated with the inter-working relationships between networks.
