For many organisations, billing data remains an under-utilised resource. While standard billing software ensures accurate invoicing, leveraging billing analytics can unlock deeper insights – enabling real-time data and trend analysis for strategic decisionmaking purposes, helping organisations drive efficiency, profitability, and growth. Simon Adams, Managing Director at PRD Technologies, highlights the significance of this shift: “Businesses today don’t just need accurate billing – they need intelligent insights that turn raw data into meaningful actions. Intelligent Analytics enables service providers to track customer trends, optimise product performance, and ensure revenue assurance - all in real time.” Intelligent Analytics provides a suite of reports designed to help business leaders make smarter, data-driven decisions. For example, customer performance reports and heat-maps highlight revenue and P&L trends over 12-months, while product performance report heat‑maps highlight the revenue and profitability of each product across your customer base over the same period. Market share analysis pinpoints revenue distribution and gross margin reports ensure profitability is never left to chance. Additionally, fraud alert capabilities allow businesses to detect unusual usage patterns before they become a costly issue. Jamie Hughes, Sales Director at Evolve IP said: “Intelligent Billing has endless benefits when it comes to reporting and analytics, with intuitive real-time data insights needed for our business, including bespoke reporting.” www.intelligentanalytics.com Egnyte announces majority investment Egnyte, a provider of secure content collaboration and governance solutions has announced a strategic growth investment from leading investment firms GI Partners (GI) and TA Associates (TA).
