By Redknee Solutions Inc., PRNEMonday, January 11, 2010
Growth Drives Migration of Existing Services to Redknee's Real-Time Converged Billing and Customer Care Solution
TORONTO, January 12 - Redknee Solutions Inc. (TSX: RKN), a leading provider of mission-
critical software and solutions for communications service providers, today
announced that it has secured a contract with a West African wireless
operator to deploy Redknee's Turnkey Converged Billing (TCB) and Customer
Care solution with Airtime Reseller.
Redknee's TCB solution will replace the service provider's legacy
billing system, enabling the operator to differentiate its service
offerings and provide an enhanced subscriber experience. With this solution
, the network service provider will be able to support advanced
personalized services and payment methods, including voucherless top-ups
for its predominantly prepaid mobile subscriber base.
"Redknee's Turnkey Converged Billing has once again been chosen as the
solution of choice, replacing the operator's legacy prepaid and postpaid
billing systems in support of business requirements, new services
requirements and growth demands." said Redknee CEO Lucas Skoczkowski. "At
Redknee, we are continuing to take market share in the real-time converged
billing space as we advance our position in line with our growth strategy -
across the high-growth markets of Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific."
Redknee's Turnkey Converged Billing solution for prepaid and postpaid
voice, data, and messaging delivers provisioning, real-time rating and
charging, billing, and customer care services, along with the tools that
allow for fast and flexible pricing, bundling and launching of
individualized promotions and new services that are specific to an
operator's markets. The solution brings the required scalability and
configurability to support the future growth of both new services and
subscribers without the costly customizations required by legacy billing
systems.
Redknee's Mobile Money Airtime Reseller is part of the TCB solution and
enables voucherless, prepaid wireless airtime top-up, addressing the needs
of markets like West Africa. This saves money for the operator, provides
more flexible top-up denominations for the subscriber, and contributes to
the growing economy of Africa by creating a virtual and innovative dealer
channel.
