Book Review by Tony Poulos

By Eric Priezkalns 9 Aug 2011

We have been waiting anxiously for Tony Poulos’ review of our revenue assurance book. Tony is one of the best-known and best-loved authorities on the field of telecoms BSS, as was confirmed by his inclusion in this year’s ‘25 Most Influential People in Telecom Software‘. That is real influence – not the kind you get by putting on a paper crown and proclaiming yourself king of RA-donia (you know who I am talking about). One good review from Tony is worth a heck of a lot more than 5000 made-up followers, not that we have any made-up followers, which makes Tony’s review even more important to us. Tony reviewed our book for the most recent edition of Inside Revenue Management, the TM Forum newsletter, and you can find his review here. In short, he says you should buy the book! Now that is the kind of plain-speaking Poulos advice we have grown to love and respect ;)
