Ascertain

Ascertain is a suite of tools that combine to address the revenue assurance and data integrity needs of telecoms operators. With these tools, we can prove rating accuracy, reconcile customer data, analyse and reconcile event records, prove completeness of processing, and monitor trends and volumes.

The Ascertain tools form a fully productised and supported set of solutions that share a core framework of common components for reporting, user interaction, data extraction and job scheduling.


Background

Over many projects our consultants saw a need among revenue assurance professionals that was unfulfilled: there were no RA solutions, developed by real RA specialists, which could work in a flexible and scalable manner.

Cartesian’s Ascertain product group was established to develop and support a comprehensive suite of product components focusing on the increasingly important areas of revenue assurance and data integrity.


Realised benefits

We have integrated our deep knowledge of revenue assurance into our products. As a result we have achieved very real benefits for our customers — revenue increases and cost reductions — including:

  • reducing CDR leakage from switch through to bill
  • complete billing of all monthly recurring charges
  • recovery of network assets
  • accurate rating of all traffic
  • reduction in suspense and filtered records at mediation, rating and billing
  • fixing profile and provisioning issues

Proven deliveries

Ascertain solutions can be integrated and configured to meet particular customer requirements and rolled out seamlessly across the company. Additionally, we will happily discuss operating any of our tools on an ASP (Application Service Provider) basis.

Our solutions are widely implemented and have been deployed in all sectors: at tier 1 mobile operators, fixed line and cable companies. We are now the leading supplier of revenue assurance software in Europe.

We’d be happy to talk about both our revenue assurance consulting capabilities and how our products could benefit the way your company operates.
