METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING TRAFFIC REVENUE FLOWS FOR COMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES

摘要

A method for monitoring traffic revenue flows for a plurality of communications companies using Information Technology (IT) systems, comprising the following steps (v) designing an optimal sample of transactions that maximizes the probability of detecting billing errors done by said communications companies; (vi) executing transactions from said optimal sample of transactions through a plurality of communications networks and recording test transactions data, using concurrently a shared infrastructure comprising a plurality of robots for generating said transactions; (vii) collecting invoice lines from said IT systems s in a non intrusive way, through an automated browsing of the web sites of said communications companies; so as to extract billing data for each test transaction, and (viii) processing said recorded test transactions data so as to re-rate billing for said test transactions, and matching said re-rated transaction billing data to billing data invoice extracted from said collected invoice lines, so as detect billing errors. The traffic revenues monitoring system according to the invention comprises, with reference to FIGURE 1, a Transactions planning sub-system, a Transactions generation subsystem, a bill-checking sub-system, an administration module, and a management website.
