Redknee Wins a Multi-Million Dollar Digital Transformation Deal with Canada's Largest Independently Owned Telecommunications Provider

TORONTO, Aug. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Redknee Solutions Inc. (TSX: RKN), a leading provider of real-time monetization and subscriber management software, is pleased to announce the signing of a new multi-million dollar digital transformation contract with Tbaytel, the largest independently owned telecommunications service provider in Canada.

Redknee's real-time monetization and subscriber management software and services allow CSPs to quickly deploy new capabilities and initiatives that support the evolution towards becoming digital service providers.

Redknee will utilize its proven project management methodology to modernize Tbaytel's business support systems so they can more easily create new service offerings and revenue streams, speeding up the launch of new digital and multi-play converged services and real-time marketing offers. It will also allow Tbaytel to create a more consistent, omni-channel experience for their customers.
