Brasil Telecom Taps IBM and Narus to Accurately Identify Revenue

IBM and Narus announced today that Brasil Telecom, one of the largest telecommunications companies in Brazil, has implemented the industry’s first solution to effectively help identify and collect unclaimed revenues generated across networks, known in the industry as “revenue leakage.” Using IBM BladeCenter and Narus’ carrier-class IP traffic analysis system, Brasil Telecom can now efficiently manage revenue streams across services running on their networks.

With the emergence of next generation IP services such as VoIP, IPTV and other new services delivered as part of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture, telecommunications providers across the globe are facing difficulty in monitoring the traffic produced by these unmanaged services. This can lead to financial integrity issues due to the difficulty in properly identifying and accounting for the source of all revenues across these networks.

Based on IBM BladeCenter and NarusAnalyze software, Brasil Telecom has implemented the industry’s first solution to effectively manage and analyze interconnect traffic in real-time to equitably distribute revenues based on the type of service, where it originated, and who consumed it.
