Cambodians select Redknee billing platform
2008-03-20 09:59:19
TORONTO March 19, 2008 -In a multi-million dollar deal, Redknee Solutions Inc
(AIM: RKN), a provider of infrastructure software that monetises and personalises
services and content for mobile operators, has been selected by Cambodia
Advance Communications (CADCOMMS) to provide Redknee's Turnkey
Converged Billing Solution.
As a new entrant in the competitive and high growth market in Cambodia,
CADCOMMS reportedly saw that its opportunity to carve out a majority share of
the market depended on an ability to differentiate itself with flexible, personalised
billing. CADCOMMS has selected Redknee's Turnkey Converged Billing Solution to
enable customer care operations with subscriber-centric, real-time rating,
segmentation and promotion services for both pre-paid and post-paid subscribers.
The flexible platform is also said to help the operator integrate new services and
accelerate their time-to-market. The system provides self-care features that allow
all subscribers to query and modify their attributes, reducing call centre costs.
"As we take our first steps into this market, we have a unique opportunity
to clearly differentiate ourselves from existing telcos and to deliver transparent
pricing models that provide more flexibility for our subscribers," said Don Maclean,
chief information officer at CADCOMMS. "After a thorough evaluation, we
determined that the Redknee Turnkey Converged Billing platform provides the
exceptional flexibility and scalability we require. The simple, open architecture of
their solution promises ease of integration, swift deployment and scalability.
Additionally, Redknee has established a strong Asian development and support
infrastructure, and continuously demonstrates its commitment to working with
CADCOMMS as a strategic, long-term partner."
Delivering a functionally-rich platform that extends beyond basic rating / charging /
billing models, the Redknee Turnkey Converged Billing solution for voice, data and
messaging integrates easily with existing core network elements and offers
out-of-the-box support for 3G+ services. The scalable solution grows with the
subscriber base, allowing operators to meet demands for new service offerings
and to stay ahead of increasing competition.
"In the fiercely competitive environment of high-growth emerging mobile markets,
the realisation of subscriber and service revenue growth hinges on the operators'
capability to offer highly-personalised services," said Lucas Skoczkowski, chief
executive officer of Redknee. "CADCOMMS has taken a significant step toward
establishing itself as a markedly-differentiated leader, uniquely positioned to
realise increasing revenues and subscriber retention enabled by Redknee's
market leading solutions."
