3 WeDo Technologies Enterprise Business Assurance 3 WHAT IS ENTERPRISE BUSINESS? EBA EXPLAINED. THINKING BY ANALOGY. The Enterprise Business Assurance concept can be compared to the dashboard of a car. Well, not the dashboard alone, but also the sensors connected to each critical component of the vehicle that reports back to the dashboard where the information is made visible to the driver. THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR DETONATION (KNOCK) SENSOR COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR STEERING RATE SENSOR REAR WHEEL LEVEL SENSOR Sensors can help cut fuel consumption and harmful emissions. They play a part in boosting engine efficiency and vehicle safety to ensure greater driving comfort and enjoyment. To fulfill the task of capturing and transmitting data. They also need to function perfectly in the presence of other sensors, in addition to offering a long service life. LIKE TODAY S CAR, COMPANIES THAT ADOPT EBA ARE LOADED WITH BUSINESS SENSORS Through the use of dashboard and sensors, anomalies or abnormal activity anywhere in the vehicle can be easily spotted and the driver will be notified through an alarm. Like the car sensors and the dashboard, think of Enterprise Business Assurance (EBA) software as the technology that assists modern corporations in reducing business losses by improving performance. Through CONTINUOUS MONITORING, the costs and limitations of manual oversight can be reduced by instituting automated controls in financial applications and other business support systems. Enterprise Business Assurance (EBA) systems (like WeDo Technologies RAID) work exactly the same way as a car dashboard, only instead of being designed for a car, they are designed for companies that want to run their business more efficiently. According to each company s strategy, software sensors are designed and strategically placed into company departmental operations such as Human Resources, Marketing, Sales and so on. A dashboard with a host of warning lights is designed to let you know about the overall status of the company.

5 WeDo Technologies Enterprise Business Assurance 5 END-TO-END SOFTWARE SELF-SERVICE ANALYTICS DASHBOARD & REPORTING ADAPTIVE CASE MANAGEMENT ETL & CEP MEASURING AND AUDITING TOOLS UNIFIED VALIDATION ENGINE POWER to the Users! RAID Telecom solution enables CSPs to proactively identify risks, alarm triggers and actions to reduce financial losses from business process inefficiencies and lack of control. This latest software combines the most valued functions of many productivity platforms into one unique solution, making it far quicker and easier to audit, protect profits and preserve the bottom line. Designed with user empowerment at its core, RAID Telecom links IT and business functions, enabling them to work seamlessly with one another across key areas such as data collection, business monitoring, visualization and alerts. WEB PORTAL RAID's ETL & CEP _Data collection is as a strategic requirement, for auditing retail business performance. Extracting data from operational systems, transforming and merging that data, and creating an integrated data structure for auditing purposes is one of RAID s key features. RAID s ETL provides the ability to extract, transform, and load (ETL) data from different sources into a database or data mart to make it available for further contextualized analysis. RAID s ETL and Complex Event Processing (CEP) capabilities have been developed to collect data and context for analysis from the latest data repositories such as Hadoop distributions for supporting big data, in-memory database management systems (DBMSs), and logical data warehouse architectures. RAID's MONITORING AND MEASURING TOOLS _Business process owners who don t apply predictive metrics to cross-boundary business processes leave their organizations vulnerable to risk and inability to execute their business strategies. To avoid these results RAID provides a set of tools that provide augmented monitoring and measuring capabilities include: _Visual KPI designer _Business Sensor tool which improves KPI awareness _RAID Enterprise Business Assurance Cockpit, which provides enterprise visibility of business performance across all processes _Balance ScoreCards align business activities to the vision and strategy of the organization

18 18 WeDo Technologies Enterprise Business Assurance REVENUE Between delivering a service and collecting its revenues, there is a huge amount of hidden problems that can arise and influence a communications service provider s bottom-line. Service Providers (SPs), on average, lose 1 to 3 percent of their revenue because of operational shortcomings. These values can be influenced by factors such as networks and service type, geography, carrier type, and Revenue Assurance maturity level. To ensure that the services provided to customers are actually being billed and collected accurately, Service Providers (SP) need to implement an effective control system capable of enhancing their end-to-end Revenue Assurance processes that responds to their current and future needs. RAID Telecom is a software tool specifically designed to tackle the critical challenges across the entire revenue chain while increasing a SP maturity level. With the deployment of RAID, SPs gain additional insight during the identification, monitoring and correlation of the root cause analysis of their revenue leakages to a accelerate the process of capturing earnings previously lost. RAID Revenue Assurance monitors and controls for the following telecom business processes: _Provisioning Assurance _Service Usage Control _Rating and Billing Validation REVENUE

20 20 WeDo Technologies Enterprise Business Assurance PLATFORM INTEGRITY Guaranteeing information consistency Automating a service provider s provisioning and network configuration processes can significantly reduce the time-to- -market required to deliver services. But the reduction or even the elimination of manual tasks is not a foolproof mechanism for eliminating common errors. Poor data integrity across the operator s infrastructure, from service delivery, to applications, devices and OSS/BSS systems, does not just lead to inefficiency and expensive manual reworks, but also can result in customer churn and ongoing revenue loss. Operator environments have become increasingly complex from the increase in third parties, multiple vendors and multiple technologies. RAID Platform Integrity uses an end-to-end auditing approach to assure the accuracy of service delivery and customer activation in these challenging and complex environments. As a solution module of RAID Revenue Assurance, Platform Integrity validates information across multi-vendor and multi- -technology business support systems across the operator infrastructure and identifies information inconsistencies that can lead to revenue leakage. as a solution module of RAID Business Assurance solution Platform Integrity, validates information across multi-vendor and multi-technology business support systems across the operator infrastructure and looks for information inconsistency that can lead to revenue leakage.

21 WeDo Technologies Enterprise Business Assurance 21 USAGE CONTROL Verifies subscriber usage - for more accurate bills Billions of network events are generated by mobile subscribers around the world every day. Every call, text, or download can create hundreds of individual events that need to be captured, correlated, tracked and billed. And the quantity and complexity is only increasing-with new services, content and devices being introduced daily. Tracking and measuring these events is how service providers bill their subscribers and partners, and it all needs to be done correctly because mistakes equate to either lost revenue, or overbilled (and unhappy) customers. RAID Usage Control monitors the collection of these events and other usage data. Metrics on user behavior and service usage are monitored and analyzed in order to ensure subscribers are billed correctly for their consumption (e.g., voice call duration, VOD ordered, bandwidth used). RAID UC monitors the xdr-generation process, starting at the switching centers and service platforms through to the customer invoice. Signaling or session data can be included in the reconciliation process, where aggregated data is collected from several measurement points along the revenue chain and reconciled using historical, cross-system and threshold validation rules. WHETHER your business model relies on the charging of minutes of usage or bytes of traffic, RAID Usage Control is the perfect tool to guarantee that none of your service usage goes unbilled.

22 22 WeDo Technologies Enterprise Business Assurance RATING AND BILLING VALIDATION Real-time rating and discounting for increased billing accuracy The diversity of product packages, tariff plans and migration options increase the possibility of incorrect billing configurations. These offers are usually configured in convergent billing systems where multiple access technologies and billing methods are implemented. Due to the complexity of these billing systems, and the variety of packages available, there is a significant risk to the integrity of the overall rating process and consequently the billing accuracy. In the same way errors on the billing and invoicing processes can expose the vulnerabilities of the CSP with the invoice directly presented to the customer. RAID Rating and Billing Validation (RBV) can effectively respond to the CSP s needs for billing accuracy, whether they are simple (e.g. onetime fee, recurring flat fee), or complex (e.g., using promotions, discounts, adjustments, credits) and independent of the customer type (prepaid, postpaid, hybrid). RAID:RBV performs revenue assurance for the various rating processes within CSP s network. It automates the validation of rated records (xdrs) for different billing systems associated with Interconnect, Subscribers, Roaming and Wholesale Billing. On top of the rating validation capabilities RAID:RBV also delivers billing and invoice control mechanisms delivering a proven solution for CSPs who want to improve billing process accuracy. The solution checks each billable item before the bill goes to print. RAID:RBV does this by validating the billing cycle data using the customer s historical behavior and profile data, and comparing this information against any additional sources and the invoice itself, at both an aggregated and a detailed level. The level of validation ensures higher accuracy through more consistent analysis of invoices. THE FOLLOWING FEATURES ARE AVAILABLE IN RAID:RBV: _Data records Enrichment rules _Support for advanced bundled services _Standard rate functions _User-defined rate functions _Quickly tests functions before they are deployed _Multiple price calculations per record _Rate plan inheritance to define rating and discounting models, and then reuse the common features across multiple rate plans _Invoice integrity validation: compares the itemized invoice against the customer s services and contracts _Billing and Invoice historical analysis: verifies billing data and customer invoice evolution according to defined rules, thresholds and historical data for each type of billable item. _Billing rules: verifies the correct application of rules by the billing system. _Billing cycle consistency validation: verifies the existence of abnormal invoices and trends.
