Why Data Services Need High Definition Revenue Assurance – An Araxxe Whitepaper

It’s all about DATA! Araxxe has just released a whitepaper that will help you understand how Data services have evolved! Last year, for operators across the telecoms industry, these problems could be boiled down to two key questions: “How do I get my subscribers to use more data services?” “How can I improve data services monetization?” Telecom operators have been trying to answer these questions over the last months. They have launched a large panel of offerings about data services: focus on subscriber habits rather than data volume, new pricing models, new features… in one word: innovation! Download the whitepaper and if you have any questions related to it or to any of our Revenue Assurance or Fraud Detection services, please don't hesitate to contact us. We will be glad to help!

Data is now part of everybody’s life. Now, without data we find ourselves in strife. Be it because of automatic top up fees or having to recharge early, running out of data is one of the worst things most smartphone users will face!

Data is now part of everybody’s life. Now, without data we find ourselves in strife. Be it because of automatic top up fees or having to recharge early, running out of data is one of the worst things most smartphone users will face! That is the reason why you see operators offering now a multitude of data bundles…

Market research forecasts more than 50% of data traffic growth per year, resulting in data consumption multiplied by 10 in the next 5 years! As for bundles, these have now become the biggest source of data revenue for you operators, data which steadily takes an increasing share of your total revenue!

But what has this shift to ‘Data bundles’ changed?

It has changed mainly how we consume data services: from few tens of megabytes to few Gigabytes. It has changed how operators sell data services as well: from ‘pay as consume’ to ‘per bundle’ scheme. Moreover, it has changed how operators bill data services: from a simple ‘price per data transaction’ to complex aggregation logic…

As a result, testing a data bundle is more complex, more points of control are required, a different approach is needed. And there is obviously an impact on billing verification!

How Araxxe can help you?

Araxxe is the unique provider to have defined a systematic approach to verify exhaustively data bundle implementation within operator’s billing chains. Control domains go from the subscription logic to the cancellation logic, from the price to the allowance, from the exit policy to the renewal policy without forgetting the validity period and the subscriber notification policy.

We verify data bundles with reference test plans to full customized test plans tuned to best suit your business priorities. As such bundle subscription via SMS, allowance rollover check, zero rated application within a data bundle like the new offer ‘Chat Zero’ launched by a major operator testing, throttling control, pro-rated allowance/price coherence verification are part of the monitoring scope.

We generate requested transactions according to test plans, we analyse based on provided public (and internal) tariff information.

We prioritize and deliver actionable findings supported by detailed proof reports and estimate business impacts.
