Revenue is the fuel that powers your business operations. If your car was leaking fuel, you’d introduce measures to stop that waste as soon as possible. The same is true of your business revenue.
Revenue and business assurance are vital functions for protecting and maximizing the revenue your enterprise generates. That isn’t just about protecting revenue value you’ve already generated, but ensuring that you receive the greatest benefit from potential areas of opportunity too.
Whether you’re a communication service provider (CSP) in the telecoms industry, or an insurance company working in financial services, accurately capturing the greatest value from your revenue possibilities is essential to ensure effective, competitive, and sustainable business operations.
What is revenue assurance?
Revenue assurance represents the systems, technologies, and processes which enhance oversight on profits, revenues, charging, and cash flows, and allow enterprises to accurately capture the full value of potential revenues for any and all products and services offered.
At Neural Technologies we believe good data systems are at the heart of that process. Our own sophisticated Revenue Assurance solution ensures accurate charging, billing, and accounting of all revenue generating events from both customers and partners. It incorporates all standard processes for revenue assurance in order to mitigate revenue leakage and quickly identify and alert businesses to the root cause of any such vulnerabilities.
What is business assurance?
Business assurance solutions are designed to improve business processes and oversight in order to mitigate against operational risks such as application risks, billing risks, money laundering, tariff and rating risks and more. It also provides key business benefits in process assurance and margin assurance, helping users quickly determine and ensure expected margins in product offerings, agreed tariffs, rates, costs with partners and other elements.
Like revenue assurance, business assurance in the modern landscape hinges on capturing, assessing, and acting on the wide range of available business data in order to identify and respond to existing and emerging risks. Neural Technologies’ own Business Assurance solution provides automated and semi-automated controls and monitoring tools to identify and resolve risks, greatly improving business process management.
How can I unlock value with revenue assurance solutions?
Business and revenue assurance is fundamentally a question of oversight. If you can identify where and how revenue leakages occur, you can engage interventions to reduce that loss. It’s a simple concept, but one that requires complex understanding in today’s data-rich landscape.
This challenge is particularly acute for communication service providers (CSPs), operating in a data-rich telecommunications landscape. That data provides huge opportunities to optimize processes and enhance the efficiency of business operations, but it also provides a massive weight of data that must be captured and understood.
