:DALN), a global provider of licensed and outsourced billing and customer management, OSS Oss (ôs), city (1994 pop. 62,141), North Brabant prov., S Netherlands; chartered 1399. It is a significant industrial center. Manufactures include meat products, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, and metalware.  and revenue assurance solutions for traditional and next generation service providers, today announced an expansion of its long-standing strategic partnership with Danet which will bring practical, ROI-driven revenue assurance and cost management solutions to convergent telecom service providers. The two companies are extending their current billing and OSS relationship to collaborate in the sales and delivery of comprehensive revenue assurance and cost management solutions, including Daleen's new Asuriti(TM) software, and Danet's financial assurance solutions. Introduced in June of 2003, Asuriti is designed to maximize a service provider's revenues through the detection and elimination of leaks, gaps and errors in data, systems and processes that can delay, compromise or prevent accurate revenue recovery.

In recent months, revenue assurance and cost management initiatives have taken a higher profile among telecom senior managers as evidence that both the problem -- and of effective solutions -- have mounted. On average, the amount of annual revenue leakage LEAKAGE. The waste which has taken place in liquids, by their escaping out of the casks or vessels in which they were kept. By the act of March 2, 1799, s. 59, 1 Story's L. U. S, 625, it is provided that there be an allowance of two per cent for leakage, on the quantity which shall appear  among telecom providers is estimated to be between 3% and 11% of gross revenues, although some studies place losses among wireless and IP-based carriers significantly higher. For a mid-sized carrier with revenues in the $75 - 100 million range, that equates to a loss of anywhere from $2.25 million up to $11 million a year, a number that is too large for today's earnings-conscious executives to ignore.

The industry has rallied around this problem, producing a myriad of solutions that range from consulting services Noun 1. consulting service - service provided by a professional advisor (e.g., a lawyer or doctor or CPA etc.)
service - work done by one person or group that benefits another; "budget separately for goods and services"
 and audits to process re-engineering and automated tools. "While any one of these can have a positive impact, we believe that technology-based solutions are the best way to ensure long term results for an evolving organization," explains Frank Dickinson, senior vice president of marketing and product management for Daleen. "Our partnership with Danet combines the benefits of the Asuriti toolset with Danet's established financial assurance offering to offer sustainable improvement to our customers' bottom lines."

Danet's financial assurance practice incorporates the traditional practices of revenue assurance and cost management processes to create permanent and comprehensive results that improve a company's financial well-being. Its philosophy, like Daleen's, is based on leaving each customer with the measures, statistics, processes and tools that allow for ongoing monitoring and improvement of that area. Danet's goal for customers is not to achieve operational efficiency for its own sake, but rather immediate, measurable and sustainable improvement to the company's bottom line.

"Asuriti continues Daleen's strong legacy of harnessing advanced technology to deliver highly-functional tools that improve the speed, accuracy and processing of mission critical data," said George Bordo, Danet's president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"This partnership taps into both companies' core competencies A core competency is something that a firm can do well and that meets the following three conditions specified by Hamel and Prahalad (1990):
  1. It provides customer benefits
  2. It is hard for competitors to imitate
  3. It can be leveraged widely to many products and markets.
, bringing together product, solutions, and a deep understanding of telecom processing to solve one of the most pressing problems the industry faces today."

Asuriti reaches across networks and into a provider's OSS, using intricate business rules to validate, track, analyze, and enhance data as it moves between systems so that providers can identify and correct discrepancies as they occur, before they result in lost revenue. Its highly-configurable architecture allows providers to take proactive steps to address a wide variety of scenarios where revenue leakage is likely. These include the ability to calculate expected charges against actual charges to detect over-billing conditions; validate charges, costs and margins associated with services or partners to analyze profitability; and capture records that were previously "dropped" to increase revenue. Asuriti works in parallel to a provider's existing systems with minimal disruption to or degradation of operational processes. Customers may license the software or outsource their revenue assurance processes to Daleen through its BillingCentral(R) ASP.

Daleen will showcase its Asuriti product to more than 200 telecom managers at the Telestrategies Revenue Assurance conference, September 23 -24 in Scottsdale, AZ. Conference attendees are invited to hear Ron Van Orden, Executive Director of Strategic Markets for Daleen, present "The Dollars are in the Data: Capturing Lost Revenues with Asuriti," on Tuesday, September 23, at 10:10 a.m.
