Xalted’s Revenue Assurance System: xTRA

Experts recognize that telecom revenue leakage is considered the most significant threat to today’s telecom network operator: each year leakage is estimated to cost operators somewhere between 6 – 12% of revenues and the effects are contagious and affect the entire organization. To effectively compete in the open telecom marketplace, a telecommunication operator have to establish sound processes to reduce fraud and maximize revenue: as the new business systems and services are continuously introduced, the revenue assurance solutions should be able to detect and allow the business analysts to quickly configure the system with new rules in order to detect and fix leakages as soon as they are discovered.
