Revenue leakage is a major problem for enterprises, and is often the result of dated systems and poor oversight failing to capture application risks, billing errors, and charging and rating risks.
As industries such as telecommunications become increasingly data-driven, the inherent complexity of operations creates new challenges for companies seeking to deploy an appropriate business assurance and revenue assurance solution.
There are a range of factors which can cause revenue leakage, including an inability to keep up with the data-heavy landscape, error-prone manual processing or interventions, and simple pricing or billing errors that create the environment for revenue leakage to occur.
A smart, data-driven solution like Neural Technologies’ Revenue Assurance and Business Assurance products can provide a powerful answer to these growing challenges by improving processes and providing automated resolutions that quickly and effectively tackle revenue leakage risks.
Revenue leakage can cost companies up to 5% of total revenue according to analysis by EY. That represents a significant loss to any company, and a huge area of opportunity to improve underlying enterprise finances.
Accidental revenue and cost leakages cost communication service providers (CSPs) alone USD42.59bn annually according to the Risk and Assurance Group’s RAFMCS Survey 2021. Revenue assurance in telecom operators clearly represents a major industry need.
Revenue assurance and business assurance are critical solutions to this challenge, meeting the needs of enterprises in addressing these accidental losses. These solutions help optimize processes, reduce risk, and provide a more secure revenue landscape for enterprises.
Of the USD42.59bn identified revenue leakage highlighted in the RAG 2021 survey, bad debt, rating and tariff errors, and billing and collections errors make up almost half of the identified losses.
Revenue assurance in telecom and other industries is clearly a growing area of concern, with the global revenue assurance market size predicted to more than double from USD4.16bn in 2020 to USD8.71bn by 2027. Telecom operators accounted for over one-third (35.04%) of market value in 2019, and the industry is projected to see the fastest growth in the market over the forecast period, demonstrating the significant need for revenue assurance and business assurance solutions in this space.
RAG’s RAFMCS Survey 2021 identified funding of technology investment as the biggest challenge for addressing revenue assurance needs, with more than one-third (34%) of respondents citing this challenge.
