Technology Impact on Invoice Tracking
Monday, April 25th 9:45am – 10:15am
Managing and monitoring invoices is critical in telecom wireline inventory management. With the industry transition away from legacy technologies, there is a tremendous need for tracking different technologies under the umbrella of wireline services.
POTS-in-a-Box, DIA, etc., while not traditional wireline services, often replace these services and require tracking for technology management and optimization purposes within a cloud-based management platform. This session is designed to explore that necessary transition and how to build and maintain these new types of inventory.
