Ever The Optimist

In some ways, revenue assurance people are sceptics. They assume the worst is always happening at every telco they work. In other ways, revenue assurance people are optimists. They believe that only they have the skills and belief to find what is going wrong and fix it, that they will find what is going wrong, that they will fix it, and that they will make everybody plenty of money in the process. But are they sometimes over-optimistic? This LinkedIn question is looking for investors to help an Asian revenue assurance business enter the European market. A supplier in the growth region of Asia wanting to build market share in the saturated market of Europe? European operators have been the biggest purchasers of revenue assurance over the years. You would think their appetite for more spend on revenue assurance would be limited; that is my impression. So how much return on investment can be gained by a new player entering this most mature, most saturated, most competitive of markets?
