MONITOR MASTER – PRODUCT PORTFOLIO STATIONARY TESTING

reveNue assuraNCe

Getting the bill right is important. Charging too much upsets your

customers and gets the undivided attention of regulators; charging too
little upsets your company and partners.

As networks and services evolve and expand, unforeseen errors can

introduce charging problems, and proving that the bill is correct is not
easy.

Monitor Master can provide revenue assurance by testing your net-

work services and generating Call Detail Records (CDRs) which can be com-
pared against your internal network CDRs.

Complete Call detail record reconciliation

Monitor Master test CDRs can be correlated automatically with the real

CDRs using either Monitor Master or a third-party system of your choice.
Monitor Master is integrated with the CashBack revenue assurance platform.
Combining Monitor Master and CashBack we can provide a complete turnkey
solution, where Monitor Master is used as the active component to trigger
calls according to a test plan and generate test CDRs, and CashBack as the
passive component, used to trace the calls throughout the billing chain to
identify revenue leakage and tariff consistency.
