4. Infrastructure Issues What infrastructure? –Networking hardware –Software systems –Business processes What issues? –Does infrastructure correctly account for what it does? –Does it correctly process what others report for accounting? –Is the processing robust, organized and consistent? The more mature the system – the more likely consistency is at risk. Integrators, vendors, models and versions increase entropy.

5. Services Issues What services? –Anything offered to the customer –Anything that needs to be billed What issues? –Do we bill for what we offer? –Do we offer what we bill for? –Do we really offer what we think we offer? More and more complex service offerings are drawn for customers, but are they consistent with previous models or configurations?

6. What customers? –Anyone who uses our services –Anyone we would like to bill What issues? –Do we know who uses our services? –Do we bill those who use our services? –Do we know how they use our services and if this affects revenue? Customer Issues Complex services and complex billing models introduce countless opportunities for general misuse or more to the point – for fraud.
