Learn
how to find, access, translate, read and manipulate real CDRs
This is a HANDS ON Class that will make you a
true CDR Expert !
Learn everything you wanted to know about CDRs
but were afraid to ask.
This class provides the student with a
chance to really get acquainted with the CDR which is the
foundational element upon which the vast majority of telco revenue
management is based. CDRs are used for much more than just postpaid
billing accounting. Different versions of CDRs drive the operation
of Fraud Management Systems, Prepaid accounting, CAMEL, Roaming and
hundreds of revenue assurance tracking and risk analysis scenarios.
Duration:
1 day
Who Should Attend?
Overview:
The
CDR Forensics Lab is an intensive one day study of “everything you
ever wanted to know about a CDR”.
In this course we will review the nature of CDR
generation, look at the different ways to assure that they are being
prepared and delivered correctly, AND will spend time with real,
hands on manipulation and analysis of them. Whether you call the
CDRs, IN-CDRs, SMS-CDRs, G-CDRs or S-CDRs, ultimately, they are
all nothing more than the foundational accounting units for telco
billing and operations.
Students will be required to bring their own
Windows based PC to this class. The PC should have MS Excel and MS
Access installed. (We will install some additional software as
well).
If they wish,
students can also bring
actual TT Files (off of their switches), Switch
TT File layouts, CDR Files from pre/post mediation and records
layouts from their own systems, or they can use the "sample data'
provided.
Students will actually convert and diagnose raw
CDR files, as well as interpreting each of the field on the record.
This course is highly interactive and requires that students do some
serious “preparation work” before attending (including collecting
information from their network teams)
Key Concepts include:
