Azure Solutions and ESI partner for billing verification

Azure Solutions, the revenue-assurance company, has announced that it has signed a partnership agreement with ESI (Expert Solutions International), a software company specialising in computer embedded knowledge-based solutions.  Under the terms of the agreement Azure will be providing billing verification for operators, using ESI’s ExpeRA invoice verification tool, therefore further expanding its revenue-assurance portfolio.

ExpeRA enables operators to detect errors and discrepancies throughout the revenue chain from the product design stage up through to billing.  This allows operators to avoid under/overcharging customers and to be able to produce accurate invoices, solving profitability and liability problems before they happen.

Azure’s principal objective is to enable communications operators worldwide to reduce losses and safeguard profits from malicious and unintentional revenue leakage.  Azure’s end-to-end revenue-assurance product portfolio for current-generation networks includes Data Integrity, Wholesale and Interconnect Billing, International Settlements, Fraud Management, Mediation Management, Translation and Rating, Event Integrity and Route Optimisation.

Saul Nurtman, senior vice president of products at Azure Solutions, said: “Billing verification plays a very important part in revenue assurance, as operators need to effectively locate billing discrepancies otherwise they risk losing significant revenue, possibly on an ongoing basis.  We are very pleased to be working with ESI it continues Azure’s strategy of working with partners to provide customers with best-in-class solutions.”

Uri Keren, CEO of ESI, said: “We are delighted to have signed an agreement with Azure.  Its heritage within the telecoms market will open up a wealth of expertise and sales opportunities for us.”
