1-Day Intensive MNO/ VNO Billing & Settlement Master Class Featured at GRAPA's Amsterdam Event

Chicago, IL, August 04, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Recent benchmarks show that the VNO/MNO business model is growing more common across the global telecoms landscape. While this business can be extremely profitable for both VNOs and MNOs, this relationship also brings with it many inherent revenue risks. GRAPA members from VNO and MNO organizations consistently report that they have concerns about the billing, settlement, and partnership risks that arise from these partnership models.

In order to meet this demand and better prepare its membership for these challenges, GRAPA, the Global Revenue Assurance Professionals Association has just updated their schedule to include a 1-day VNO Billing, Assurance & Settlement Master Class at the Amsterdam event this coming September. Designed for advanced VNO professionals, this highly-intensive program covers the most critical risk and assurance issues faced by VNO and MNO organizations.

"It can be extremely challenging for VNOs and MNOs to adjust to the overwhelming stress that radical new technologies, business models and partnership agreements place on traditional revenue assurance and operational approaches," commented Rob Mattison, president of GRAPA. "This can provide a unique opportunity for forward-thinking Revenue Assurance professionals to expand scope and add value in a new environment."

Structured to be part lecture, part forum, and part workshop, the VNO Master Class promises to be a highly interactive networking and training event. Since this program is geared towards more experienced professionals, GRAPA will encourage participants to share their experiences and successes throughout this event. "We are trying to create an environment where professionals can share their expertise and learn from one another about how to best address VNO/MNO business model risks," affirms Mattison.

This advanced program will premiere in Amsterdam on 24 September 2013. Attendees will include professionals from both MNO and VNO organizations as well as consultants and telecoms employees from organizations thinking about or preparing to enter into such agreement. All participants eager to learn the latest VNO assurance standards and to share current issues and successes in this environment will be welcomed.
