The False Positive Fallacy in Revenue Assurance and Fraud Management
Alex Gendler published an interesting TED-Ed video on the false-positive paradox. He narrates a hypothetical scenario where a precious metal ‘unobtainium,’ present within only 1% of rocks in a specific quarry, must be mined. Joe, the miner, uses a reading device to identify which rocks contain the precious metal. His device will always detect unobtanium when present. It will also give the correct reading 90% of the time when a rock does not contain unobtanium. Now say Joe’s device beeps when pointed to a rock, and he offers to sell it to you for $200. Is it worth buying this rock from Joe for $200, knowing that you can sell an unobtanium rock for $1000, based on the reading of the detection device?
Learn the 6 ways to mitigate Enterprise Business Risks in Telecom
The telecommunication industry is not just about providing voice, data, and SMS services to individual consumers but also includes an enterprise segment. One could say that the enterprise business line is more like a wholesale business or B2B of telecom involving interconnect billing and roaming agreements.
Why do Telecom Operators need AI-based Contract Management?
There is a well-known adage that businesses run on people’s trust. However, in the real practical world, contract agreements remain the ultimate element of trust. Contract documents provide the necessary assurance to companies that certain obligations are legally binding, and thereby business can be undertaken with complete confidence. In that sense, looking at the larger context, contract documents are the driving force that enables businesses to run smoothly and efficiently.
What are the top 3 blockchain use cases that Telco’s can adapt in quick time?
Blockchain as technology comes with its own advantages and disadvantage. But using its advantages in the right place and on the right use case can be of huge benefit. Place where we need transparency, traceability, quick revenue recognitions, Operational efficiency, and an environment with zero discrepancies. An environment where the result or actions are dependent on multiple transactions by multiple parties, where the correlation of multiple transactions is important for E2E authenticity. And that is where Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) often termed as Blockchain (as information/transactions are chained together), comes in handy.
Measuring the True Profitability: A holistic and granular approach
In today’s rapidly evolving but oversaturated market, the telecommunication industry has changed its way of working. It has started to merge or intersect with other industries, such as media and financial services, offer more variants of products and personalized services to valuable customers, and quickly embrace new technical advents and adapt to the latest offerings, like 5G. As a result, the process starts involving multiple departments in core strategy and decision making. But each department monitors one’s own set of KPIs, which are in isolation from others. As a result, easier to monitor KPIs like revenue, subscriber base, number of installations, and site upgrades get priority while the concept of profits and margins take a hit and, thus, the accountability of multiple cost items. To overcome this issue requires a rejig in overall strategy involving collaboration between departments and a change in success criteria from top-line growth (revenue-based) to bottom-line growth (profit-based) with a presence of every stakeholder in the Profit & Loss(P&L) view of the company, resulting in a single version of the truth.
Automating Pattern Detection using Machine Learning for Telecom
Consistent asset health across many levels from cell sites to regions is critical to ensure uninterrupted operations for telecom operators. However, proactively identifying anomalous patterns like equipment malfunction remains a major challenge. Drawing on Subex’s deep implementation experience, this paper describes the chief steps necessary to deploy successful pattern detection solutions. It also examines some high impact use cases for pattern detection that have systematically delivered value for telecom carriers.
