New Report: Telecom Fraud & Business Assurance Solutions, Services & Strategies
Dear Colleague:
The transition is well-underway to improved fraud and business assurance systems that incorporate advanced tech such as: machine learning, cross-industry expertise, master data management, cloud, and mobile monetization.
But will your company make the right decisions on where to invest for the future? What Assurance investments should you make today that will pay off in a competitive edge or major cost savings tomorrow? Wouldn’t it be great to own an up-to-date resource that sorts through the issues and sharpens your ability to make the right decisions?
Well, that resource is what TRI delivers in a new 495-page Report — Telecom Fraud & Business Assurance Solutions, Services & Strategies. The Report both organizes the insights of Assurance experts and analyzes the “state-of-the-practice” in crisp advice and predictions.
Insights from Four Dozen Assurance Experts
Take a look at the quality and experience of the expert contributors whose advice and insights are captured in the Report. In all, about 70% of the content these experts talk about is fraud/identity-related and the remaining 30% is business/revenue assurance/analytics-related.
We are especially delighted to publish insights from two top consultants: Colin Yates of Yates Fraud Consulting and Luke Taylor of Lateral Alliances, who discuss FM/BA professional challenges in the 18-page Chapter entitled, Free-Wheeling Discussions with Consultants Colin Yates & Luke Taylor.

Who can Benefit from the Report?
The Report is written for both telecom managers of assurance programs, and the solution vendors who help them get the job done.
As a telecom or virtual operator, the Report is ideal for getting your team up to speed on the latest solutions and strategies. Think about it: a couple thousand dollar investment in intelligence could have a big payoff in fraud prevention and better business control at your firm.
On the solution vendor side, the Report is key to your strategic planning since we had conversations with the vast majority of assurance solution competitors. The Report will help you answer the vital question: which corner(s) of the fraud/business assurance market should I spend my next R&D and marketing dollars?
