Live from the Big Easy

This week the TeleStrategies Revenue and Fraud Management conference is taking place in the New Orleans. This is the first event for the addition of fraud management to the twice yearly revenue assurance conference and I think it is for the better.

Long have revenue assurance and fraud management been separated by responsibility, but VERY closely related by function and the data (xDRs) used by each function. It is good to see that the walls between these two disciplines have are starting to come down and that the practitioners of fraud management and revenue assurance have the opportunity to share ideas and experiences.

Let's hope that TeleStrategies continues the move toward innovative and value-added programs for education and networking in these areas.

NOTE - MONSTER PROPS.... errr.... High praise goes to TeleStrategies for returning to New Orleans with their annual spring conference. The City of New Orleans has done a good job of recovering from Katrina, but they still have a lot of work to do. One of the best things to do for New Orleans is follow the example of TeleStrategies and Anheuser Busch, who are also here this week, and bring an event to and/or attend a conference in the Crescent City. Building the economy via tourism is a great way to have a great time and rebuild one of the nation's great cities.
