NGRC Recognized as Best Service Enablement Tool at Billing and OSS World Awards
TORONTO, June 11, 2010 - Redknee (TSX: RKN), a leading provider of business-critical software
and solutions for communications service providers, is pleased to announce
that it has been awarded the 2010 Billing & OSS World Excellence Award for
its ability to improve its customers' business performance and
profitability. Recognizing the success of Redknee's data rating, charging
and policy solution, NGRC, the Best Service Enablement Implementation Award
was presented to Redknee at a ceremony held at Billing & OSS World
Conference and Expo in Washington on Wednesday night.
Tim McElligot, Billing & OSS World's Editor in Chief commented:
"This year's awards had a special emphasis on recognizing benefits over
technology type from across the BSS/OSS spectrum. Redknee's NGRC platform
continues to enable operators to successfully monetize data services, grow
subscriber usage and develop innovative services. We are pleased to
recognize Redknee as a winner at the 2010 Billing & OSS World Excellence
Awards."
Awarded for its support of a western European operator's successful
launch of a new handset, Redknee's NGRC is an end-to-end real-time data
rating, charging and policy engine that enables operators to launch new
services and manage bandwidth, while creating new revenue streams based on
diverse pricing options for both prepaid and postpaid subscribers. In this
deployment, Redknee supported the acquisition of 500,000 new customers
within the first few months of launching the handset and boosted data APRU
by 9.2 per cent.
Based on multiple Redknee patented and patent-pending technologies, the
integrated solution enables operators to cap usage once it exceeds a
predetermined threshold, provide subscriber usage alerts and provides a
higher quality experience by empowering the customer to react to a threshold
breach, service upgrade or partner promotion. NGRC further enriches the
customer experience by being able to set spending, parental, privacy and
context preferences that give the customer the ultimate control in
deciding which services they want, when they want them and how they pay for
them. Leveraged by operators including KPN's Telfort and Telefonica O2
Ireland to meet EU data roaming regulations, NGRC is protecting their
customers from bill shock while they are abroad and driving data revenues
when they are at home.
Lucas Skoczkowski, Redknee's Chief Executive added:
"We are delighted to be recognized alongside some of the best in the
industry. Redknee's products combine the power of real-time rating and
charging, subscriber control and policy enforcement to help service
providers across the world drive profitability and market growth through
service differentiation. At Redknee, we continue to invest in real-time
monetization solutions to support the growth of mobile data and content for
wireless subscribers around the world."
The Billing & OSS World Excellence Awards 2010 were judged by an
independent panel that included Ari Banerjee, senior consultant for Heavy
Reading; Susan McNeice, global director for communications infrastructure
and OSS/BSS software at Stratecast, a division of Frost & Sullivan;
Elisabeth Rainge, program director of network and telecom software research
for IDC; and members of the Billing & OSS World editorial team.
