This course teaches a radically new approach to the practice
of Revenue Assurance, guiding professionals in techniques
that will allow them to adopt an aggressive
take-no-prisoners approach to seeking out and minimizing
risks to the telco's revenue--wherever those risks may be
and whatever it takes to get them contained.

Based on the incredibly successful Core Curriculum taught to
more than 500 students over the past three years, this newly
upgraded course integrates the latest innovations to the
practice of revenue assurance, with added emphasis on the
hard-revenue producing areas like Radio-Side Assurance,
Margin and Rate Plan Assurance, Market and Churn Assurance,
and the crucial role of RA in New Product Development and
Roll-Out, as well as first hand insight into the issues and
methods for assuring 3G, GPRS, content, and Femto-Cells --
all based on input from GRAPA members around the world and
conforming to the GRAPA framework, standards and approach.

RA904 - Weird Science
3G, GPRS,
Femtocells, VNO, Content, New Product Development.
New technologies and the new product development process represent
the "black hole of issues" for the typical RA professional. Unstable
technologies, untested products and under-analyzed promotions can
cause more revenue loss in one day than all the leakage
combined for the past year.
In this 1-day class, we examine the
nature of new technology deployments, the unique risks they
represent, and the standardized methodologies being developed for
their management. Detailed review of the "state of the art in" 3G, GPRS,
VNO, Radio Side Billing, Femtocells, Content, and the New Product Development
Process will be
considered.
