Subex launches ROC
Revenue Assurance 5
Simplifies Revenue Assurance through industry-first capabilities RevenuePad and Zen, introduces Apps for Mobile Devices
LONDON, UK - Subex Limited a leading global provider of Business Support Systems (BSS) for Communications Service Providers (CSPs), announced that it has launched version 5 of its ROC Revenue Assurance offering. This new solution from Subex will help simplify Revenue Assurance for CSPs, and introduces two industry-first capabilities in RevenuePad and Zen.
Revenue Assurance is fast becoming an enterprise-wide tool and RevenuePad provides CSPs with such abilities, in addition to allowing them to grow the function through assistance in roadmap planning and maturity enhancement. It will also guide CSPs on which assurance areas and KPIs to cover to improve operational performance and advance along the maturity scale. RevenuePad will also be available as a mobile app for iPad, with apps for other mobile device platforms to follow soon.
Zen is a path breaking approach to help Revenue Assurance analysts fight the data tsunami. CSPs and RA analysts are trying to find the needle in the haystack and Zen is the industry’s first solution that sifts through millions of records and zooms in on the problem area in a matter of seconds. This dramatically reduces the time to find root causes (by more than 90 %) and provides a substantial boost to analyst productivity, thereby helping CSPs recover revenues much faster.
“The ROC Revenue Assurance solution along with its RevenuePad and Zen capabilities will be a one-stop shop for a CSP’s Revenue Assurance needs. Once again, Subex exhibited its thought leadership by setting a new direction for RA,” said Sudeesh Yezhuvath, Chief Operating Officer at Subex. “Additionally, the ROC Revenue Assurance 5 Solution is mobile device enabled and can be accessed by service providers anywhere anytime. This means that they will be able to gauge the Revenue Assurance health, analyze key metrics and make important decisions on the move”.
