Everything Should Be Driven by Risk/Return Analysis: Verall Rchitecture

The document discusses key aspects of revenue assurance systems architecture and design. It states that revenue assurance initiatives should be driven by a risk/return analysis and financial logic. All possible existing information sources should be exhausted before proceeding. It also notes that there is no single architecture that fits all situations. Monitoring modules are described as managing high data volumes, having a high data turnover rate, needing to minimize operational system impact, and requiring specialized knowledge to understand the data.

2. Everything Should be
Driven by Risk/Return Analysis
Revenue assurance initiatives are often led by the accounting group,
but that does not mean that the system should not be built consider
the expected return on investment. A strong financial case exists for
deploying revenue assurance systems, but if financial logic does not
drive the requirements and decision-making, then the system might
deliver little or no value.

3. Use What You Have Available

The revenue assurance group should always exhaust all possible


sources of information before proceeding.

OVERALL ARCHITECTURE
Your overall architecture may deliver many functions, and the
systems that provide these capabilities have varying design, devel-
opment, deployment, and architectural profiles. There is no such
thing as a “one-size-fits-all” application.

Monitoring Modules

Monitoring is the process of extracting data from operational systems


and using it to track how well the system operates. Characteristics of
monitoring modules are:
1. They manage exceedingly high volumes of data (disk in-
tensive).
2. The data turnover rate is very high (I/O intensive).
3. The data must be attained in a way that minimizes impact
on the operational systems.
4. Understanding the data requires specialized knowledge.
