Taking Revenue Assurnace to the C-Level

The Executive Revenue Assurance Advanced Certification class is a five-day curriculum that enables students to certify in Advanced Revenue Assurance. Students will learn about and qualify for several specialized areas of RA management and operations. The objective of the overall five-day program is to provide students with an in-depth familiarity and methodology for applying advanced revenue assurance disciplines to the telco organization.

One specific discipline covered during this course is revenue engineering - the application of scientific and practical techniques to guarantee corporate profitability through the explicit control of margins and marketing. Also covered is revenue assurance governance, or the utilization of revenue assurance operations as the primary agent for the implementation of a comprehensive revenue governance model. The GRAPA revenue assurance governance model has been compiled from four years of best practices from revenue assurance managers around the world. The first two days of XRA focus on Revenue Engineering while the third day covers Revenue Assurance Governance, and the last two days are designed to meet the most pressing needs of RA managers.
