Monetisation Platforms

Overview

This programme examines three key areas of monetisation: billing and offer creation, charging and policy management, and partner and interconnect management. The programme also covers revenue assurance and fraud management. It assesses opportunities for vendors and operators in monetising established connectivity and new digital services. The programme is based on 25 years of research involving interviews with vendors and operators to produce annual market shares, 5-year forecasts and strategy reports.
