Financial/Regulatory
What we do
Regulators around the world regularly seek our advice and support. That experience puts us in a unique position to help public, enterprise, and carrier clients understand the latest regulatory developments and maintain full compliance. We also prepare required financial and operational reports, price cap filings, and long-term costing.
On the finance front, our business case and capital efficiency analyses guide clients to sound go/no-go investment decisions and the best use of capital. We help clients develop their own processes for collecting data, making technology investments, and tracking returns. We also support shareholder value by showing clients how to classify assets appropriately and consistently.
How we do it
Telcordia complements hands-on consulting with proprietary tools, including: a network cost model toolset, which can facilitate analysis of virtually any network technology; and a capital budgeting tool that balances competing metrics such as ROI, operating income and capital expenditure while accommodating such portfolio complexities as project linkages, mandates and constraints.
Telcordia support includes:
Industry Standards Development and Implementation
The industry looks to Telcordia for specifications on network architectures and interfaces, call/session signaling flows and protocols, network element procedures, authorization and authentication, and more. We regularly hold leadership positions on major standards bodies and serve on the boards of industry associations; our experts have held such prestigious posts as Chief Architect of the European Union GST and President of the OSGi Alliance. Building on that access and experience, we operate the web-based Telcordia Standards Knowledgebase to keep clients abreast of developments in all of the world’s key standards bodies.
Legislative and Regulatory Policies
Telcordia helps clients understand and comply with legislation and regulations anywhere in the world. We advise carriers, enterprises, and government entities to make informed decisions based on new or existing regulatory mandates, and we help international regulators analyze and/or develop legislation and rules governing pricing, rate rebalancing, tariff strategy, interconnection, collocation, and more.
