Lucas Skoczkowski, CEO of Redknee commented:

Redknee's cloud-based converged billing and customer care solution offers one of the most innovative fully virtualized platforms, enabling Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) or Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) to launch a new brand in a matter of weeks. It provides Mobile Virtual Network Enablers (MVNEs) with an agile, flexible and modular suite of solutions on which to build a profitable wholesale business. Service providers can take control of the services and promotions they launch with a real-time billing, rating and charging with integrated policy, promotions, analytics and business intelligence. In addition, service providers can deliver a superior customer experience with the fully integrated customer care and self-care capabilities. Provided as a SaaS offering, Redknee Cloud allows consumer brands or retailers, who may not be experienced in the mobile sector or billing, to concentrate on their sales, marketing and distribution strategies rather than the management of their billing system.

Redknee's end-to-end, converged billing and customer care solution addresses real-time unified billing, rating and charging for the operator's data, voice and messaging services. In addition, the Redknee CRM (built on Microsoft Dynamics platform) capabilities provide retail channel and sales enablement tools through its next generation dealer portal and innovative self-care solutions. By leveraging Redknee's fully managed solution, with 24x7 support, EcoMobile, a US-based MVNO on the Sprint 3G/4G LTE networks, will be able to focus all of its efforts on sales and marketing activities, resulting in the faster acquisition of new subscribers. Redknee will also host and manage the full infrastructure stack supporting the billing and customer care solution, thereby reducing the service provider's capital and operational expenditure.
