Because of the intense market pressure, quickly and accurately determining credit risk for both current and potential customers can be a significant competitive advantage. But how can you perform credit scoring throughout your organization in a way that is accurate and flexible, easy to implement, and tailored to your needs?

SAS Payment Risk for Telecommunications uses models specifically designed for the telecommunications industry to help companies reduce the business risk and costs associated with bad debt.

The solution provides high-quality, pre-built predictive models that perform behavioral scoring to help telecommunications providers curb bad debt by assessing the credit-worthiness of both current and potential customers.

It also helps identify customers for cross-selling, up-selling and appropriate service repositioning. This ability could allow a wireless provider, for example, to identify which customers, because of credit history, should be targeted for a prepaid wireless program rather than one with a monthly fee.

SAS Payment Risk for Telecommunications includes:

• Credit scoring predictive models.
• Billed call behavior analysis and reporting.
• Unbilled call behavior analysis and reporting.
