TORONTO, Sept. 8, 2016 /CNW/ - Redknee Solutions
Inc. (TSX: RKN), a leading provider of real-time monetization
and subscriber management software, has secured a new multi-year
software and services contract with Afghan Wireless Communication
Company (AWCC), the leading telecom operator in Afghanistan. The new contract enables AWCC to
maximize the value of its investment in Redknee's software
solutions by adding capabilities to the existing Redknee solution.
This contract allows AWCC to offer innovative subscriber campaigns,
implement more complex policies, improve time to market, and
deliver additional flexibility for its services and tariff plans.
This contract comes at a time when Redknee is experiencing rapid
growth in its services business, as Communications Services
Providers (CSPs) focus on maximizing the value of their existing
technology, improving efficiency, minimizing risk and preparing for
the transformation into a Digital Services Provider (DSP). For
Redknee, this contract demonstrates how its services solutions can
optimize the value of existing business investments to achieve
faster time-to-market, competitive differentiation and improved
business results.
CSPs face highly competitive markets, and to maintain
profitability and competitiveness CSPs need to concentrate on their
core business and customers, which is enabled by Redknee services.
Redknee uses best-in-class tools, processes and consulting to
deliver agreed service levels and reduce operating cost.
Redknee services support a number of Tier-1 operator groups
globally and clients from across the Redknee customer base. Redknee
provides a full suite of professional services catering to the
needs of CSPs, including consulting services, managed services,
software factory, test factory, cloud services, learning services,
and application services. The rapid growth experienced by the
Redknee services business prompted the recent introduction of new
services, including analytics and business intelligence, revenue
assurance and security.
Daniel Florentine, AWCC Board
Member commented:
"With Redknee's blend of software and services solutions, Afghan
Wireless is further enhancing campaigns and offerings available to
its over 4 million active subscribers. The business is now more
prudent than the competition and better able to meet, and even
exceed, subscriber expectations resulting in improved satisfaction
amongst our subscriber base."
Lucas Skoczkowski, Redknee's CEO commented:
"We are pleased to work with AWCC and other clients to improve
business outcomes by creating efficient operations, improving
profitability and creating sustained business advantage. Redknee is
experiencing strong demand for its software and services from
across its entire customer base. We are excited to add new services
to our portfolio, allowing our clients to benefit from more
state-of-the-art services that maximize the value of their
investments with Redknee."
