Selling products and service for which customers beat a path
to your door puts a company in an enviable market position. But
frittering away a sizeable portion of the revenue from those
products and services because of inefficient and redundant
processes and practices is simply bad business. This eBook,
sponsored by Razorsight and xchange, examines
cost management
best practices that could help service providers keep
more of the money they make. The eBook also features an
exclusive Q&A with Razorsight’s CEO Charlie Thomas, who explains
how service providers can improve margins while dealing with the
challenges and opportunities of next-generation networks and
convergence.

Going Green: Paper Reduction Is a First Step
Despite the substantial contribution telecom makes to
carbon emissions overall, the truth is that many service
providers in telecom, cable, satellite, media and
entertainment will not get involved wholeheartedly in
environmental initiatives unless there are compelling
economic reasons to do so. For that reason, many companies
are starting small and then gauging public reaction and
impact to the bottom line.
It's Not Easy Being Green
Jim Henson’s frog-like Muppet Kermit used to complain
that “being green” was a challenge. The same could be said
for the information and communication technology sector,
which consumes more carbon-based fuels than most other
industries.
Assessing Networks from a Financial Perch
Seldom has Murphy’s Law been so readily applied. If
something can go wrong with your reconciliation and payment
processes, it will. And unless it is addressed, that
something multiplies and accumulates into millions of
dollars of unrealized riches.
Software at Your Service
Software-as-a-service may not be for everyone. But those
who cling to the licensed model now in use — about 90
percent of all software sales according to Yankee Group —
may one day find themselves in the minority. How to
Optimize Revenues and Margins in a World Characterized by
Convergence and Next-Generation Networks
In a conversation with xchange Contributing Editor Tim
McElligott, Razorsight’s CEO Charlie Thomas tells how
service providers can improve margins while dealing
with the challenges and opportunities of next-generation
networks and convergence. |
