The telecom sector is rapidly changing, driven by technologies such as 5G and IoT. This makes it an exciting industry and also brings new challenges in managing revenue streams.
Network operators and Mobile Virtual Network Operators are now looking beyond traditional services, integrating diverse offerings such as Over-the-Top (OTT) and Internet of Things (IoT). As they identify new revenue streams, however, it is vital to also address the persistent challenge of revenue leakage – the loss of potential revenue due to errors or inefficiencies.
Ensuring revenue assurance is vital to protect profitability. According to MarketsandMarkets reports, the global telecom revenue assurance market, valued at $6.5 billion in 2022, is projected to reach $10.4 billion by 2025, increasing at a CAGR of 9.9% in this time.
This rapid growth clearly demonstrates the escalating concern of revenue leakage in the telecom industry and the increasing importance of revenue assurance solutions to combat these challenges.
What Is Revenue Assurance?
In the telecom industry, even a small percentage of revenue leakage can translate into significant financial losses due to the large volumes of transactions and services processed. This means that excellent revenue assurance solutions are an essential.
Revenue assurance in telecom means ensuring that every service, from voice calls to data usage, is accurately captured and billed. It’s a strategy to detect and fix leaks in revenue streams across various service delivery channels, ensuring that what’s provided is what’s paid for.
The Growing Need for Advanced Solutions
As telecom networks grow in complexity, the risk of revenue leakage increases. This isn’t just a technical issue, it affects customer satisfaction and financial health. Advanced revenue assurance solutions are needed to manage this complexity, ensuring accurate billing and preventing losses.
The debate around revenue leakage has shifted in recent years from detection to prevention, and there is an increasing need to manage revenue cycles, as the traditional reactive approach has proven ineffective.
Identifying Revenue Leakage Sources
Leakages in telecom revenue can come from various areas, including:
- Mismatches between service delivery and billing
- Errors in data processing and record management
- Inadequate fraud detection measures
- Inefficiencies in partner and contract management
- Lack of real-time controls in interconnect agreements
- Inaccuracies in traffic management and billing
