GAITHERSBURG, Md. & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2005--ACE*COMM Corporation (NASDAQ:ACEC), a global provider of network business intelligence and advanced operations support systems (OSS) solutions, today announced its CTO, Dr. Jean-Francois Jodouin, has been selected as a panel member for the 5th Annual Revenue Assurance & Cost Management in Telecoms conference, addressing the primary areas of benefit that operators have realised and leveraged through revenue assurance (RA) programs. Other organisations providing panelists include Orange, Vodafone UK, and UTA Telecom AG
The 5th Annual Revenue Assurance & Cost Management in Telecoms takes place from May 25 to 26, at the Riverbank Park Plaza, London, UK. Analysts estimate that telecom operators lose up to 12 percent of their total revenue to leakage through billing inaccuracies, operations inefficiencies, gaps in customer management, and other network performance-related sources.
Unlike other OSS initiatives, effective revenue assurance programs can be a low-risk undertaking for high-reward results, and are increasingly gaining prominence in operators' long-term strategic financial health and business growth plans
Dr. Jodouin's panel session takes place at 4:15 pm on Day 2 of the conference.

ACE*COMM will also be featuring its 2helix Network Asset and Revenue Assurance solutions at the event.
Recent customer successes for these solutions have included the discovery of EUR 28 million in under-billing for one European operator; EUR 34 million worth of unused network capacity for a UK carrier; and an untapped market potential of EUR 135 million per year in subscriber revenues for a Tier 1 European carrier.
About ACE*COMM's 2helix Solutions
ACE*COMM's 2helix solutions encompass the collection, analysis and application of network switch and inventory data; specifically in the areas of network asset assurance, data migration, and quality assurance. In addition they provide the platform for visualisation of integrated network, geographic and sales/marketing data. The 2helix solutions tackle revenue leakage problems from a holistic perspective, using a layered architecture composed of collection, adaption, interpretation, and presentation modules.
The key to revenue assurance and asset recovery lies in carrier "trapped data," data that is either difficult to access or difficult to rationalise on its own.
By harmonising and distributing trapped data, the 2helix products enable carriers to resolve revenue leakages, recover network capacity and assets, and reduce cost of delivery and cost of sale
