Parks Associates is supporting Revenue Management & Fraud Prevention.

The themes of Revenue Assurance and Fraud Prevention are broad and we see them being constantly improved and discussed in view of the movements and technological innovations. In many operators, the maturation process is still at an early stage, with no implemented controls, in which actions are taken mostly after the detection of problems, when the ideal thing is to continuously monitor the revenue chain and act proactively observing the behavior of indicators. There are world published studies that show that operators lose about 5-15% of their revenues due to operational problems. These problems range from in the network elements (central and platform) to information systems (Mediation, Billing, Interconnection, Co-Billing).

Unfortunately, many utilities have not considered how utility assets can be leveraged to add value.

Utilities are well positioned to create value and incremental revenue through energy consumption and pricing data and energy management services. This presentation will describe the numerous opportunities for utilities to participate in the smart home market.
