    THE UNIQUE ROLE OF THE REVENUE ASSURANCE PROFESSIONAL

    Telecoms Revenue Assurance Professionals are unique in many ways – while people in a bank or manufacturer can focus on a set of generic accounting standards, the telecoms professional must master massive amounts of technology issues as well.
    Telecoms networks, billing and partner management is an eclectic and complex mix. Understanding telecoms billing and the transaction records that create invoices and financial reports requires the RA Analyst to be part engineer. Telecoms RA professionals know that relying on the financial numbers "the system generates" and ignoring where those numbers come from damages the integrity of systems and the reliability of results.

    Practical & Results Driven: 

    GRAPA programs are grounded in the day-to-day, activities of telecoms professionals. Those who at­tend our events return to work with measurably greater understanding, tools, and skills to face the challenges of their environment. .

    Customized to meet the unique needs of you and your team!

    Modern telecoms are unique businesses. Each carrier has its own custom network, product strategy, and over business approach. No two telecoms are the same and no two RA teams need the same training.

    Our unique customization program allows you to tailor the training to meet your requirements while guaranteeing that the Core Competencies and Subject Matter are mastered by everyone on your team.
