Billing and metering errors and omissions are considered to be the main causes of lost utility revenue, yet most utilities lack the means to pinpoint discrepancies buried in their volumes of customer and meter data.

First Data Revenue Assurance addresses this issue and reveals both billing and meter related revenue recovery opportunities, providing the most comprehensive revenue assurance analysis service available in the industry.

Using First Data Revenue Assurance is a simple three-step process. Data is uploaded using a secure Web connection, advanced algorithms are applied to the data to identify and prioritize revenue recovery opportunities and the results are made available on a secure Web site. Because First Data Revenue Assurance is available as a Web-based service, utilities can begin effective revenue recovery activities as soon as their first sets of data are uploaded and processed. Lengthy system implementation is not required and the up-front cost is minimal.
