Fighting telecom fraud and optimizing your revenues is top priority

In a continually evolving ecosystem for mobile connectivity around the world, new challenges arise for Communication Service Providers (CSPs), making the fight against fraud and optimizing revenue a top priority for managers and CFOs alike:

  • Risks associated with the introduction of new services leave telecom operators exposed to fraudulent usage of network resources and network-based applications.
  • The scale of revenue loss to GSM gateway bypass activity is still largely unknown to many mobile operators. This not only has a direct impact on their bottom line, but is also responsible for traffic disruption on networks.
  • Roaming fraud continues to be a specific challenge, in particular where network operators are dealing with shrinking margins on roaming revenues. This prospect should be re-inforcing their determination to eradicate fraud.

FMS-Lile roadmap

Against a background of heightened competition between players and the erosion of revenues by third-party service providers and non-GSM access technologies such as VoIP schemes, mobile operators simply can no longer afford the cost of fraud.

Smaller networks are the most exposed

The smaller the operator and market, the greater the need to optimize cost structures in a drive to gain market share and achieve sustainable levels of profitability. Understanding the real conditions in which tier-three and tier-two network operators deliver their services is essential to addressing these needs with dedicated and cost-effective solutions:

  • Targeting specific needs – smaller operators need help on specific problem areas of the business in order to protect and enhance their profitability. Our software solutions are modular, and can easily be configured to address specific problems.
  • Total cost of ownership (TCO) kept under control - Tighter markets and financial constraints compel operators to adopt solutions that minimize total cost of ownership through ease of implementation and maintenance, and minimal operational impact. Not to mention affordable roadmaps to meet changing market conditions.

The days of complex and unwieldy industrial-level FMS systems are over. Agility, flexibility, versatility are the buzzwords of the modern IT environment. But most of all, the focus remains cost.
