Parallels of RA in Other Industries

By Eric Priezkalns 14 Mar 2009

I found this article and wanted to briefly share it with you. It hardly mentions revenue assurance in telecoms, but I think it gives a useful insight for any practitioner who wants to think beyond telecoms and would like to understand how there are analogous problems and techniques to solve them in other industries. The article gives a succinct but sweeping overview of how BI is used across a wide range of business models to improve the bottom line.
