Who Should Attend?
Telephone companies must make sure their carrier access billing systems (CABS) bills are accurate and that they're receiving all the revenues they're entitled to bill.
This revamped seminar, featuring a new instructor with more than 30 years of telecom-industry experience, is designed primarily for those responsible for intercarrier billing but will also benefit accountants, plant and network personnel, and others whose roles impact billing, controls related to billing, or oversight of the billing function. Basic telephone and CABS knowledge is helpful.
