Azure to host a series of European revenue assurance seminars

Operator revenue losses are currently estimated to have risen to 13.7 per cent of turnover (Analysys, 2003). Azure has re-commissioned this survey and will be presenting the results at the seminars and every attendee will receive a free copy of the research. The seminars will identify the sources of revenue leakage networks, and outline the strategies operators should adopt to minimise losses, and maximise revenue opportunities.

Drawing on Azure’s industry experience and case-study examples, the seminars will help delegates understand the revenue assurance challenges operators face on both their current and next-generation networks, whether it be ensuring regulatory compliance, billing accuracy or detecting and preventing fraudulent network activity.

The dates and locations of the seminars are as follows:

Tuesday 21st September 2004
Hotel Kong Frederick, Copenhagen, Denmark

Thursday 23rd September 2004
Radisson SAS Strand Hotel, Stockholm, Sweden

Tuesday 19th October 2004
