"Our speed and ease of use in our patented CDR correlation and generation is the key in feeding these various fraud management systems. The utilization of our reports will also assist the telco in many other areas of revenue assurance such as inter-carrier billing verification/validation, protocol analysis and quality of service reporting."
"We are more than happy to assist CANTO and their members in the areas of fraud management and network monitoring / surveillance and have found that the seminar attendees were thinking outside of the box, when it comes to fraud detection and analysis, " said Martin Gomez.
