TORONTO, June 9 /PRNewswire/ --

- Redknee Provides Turnkey Converged Billing Platform to Support
Wireless, Fixed and Broadband Service Provider

Redknee (TSX: RKN), a leading global provider of business-critical
software and solutions for communications service providers, announced today
that a leading communications service provider in the EMEA region (Europe,
Middle East and Africa) has signed a multi-million dollar contract for
Redknee's Turnkey Converged Billing ("TCB") solution. This solution enables
the operator to manage its wireless, fixed, and broadband services with a
complete converged billing solution, providing a seamless triple-play
experience to its subscribers. It is anticipated that more than half of the
revenue from this contract win will be recognized in fiscal 2009.

By consolidating its billing and customer relationship management (CRM)
systems onto one converged platform, the operator is able to provide a
unified experience to multi-service subscribers, enable cross service bundles
and promotions, as well as facilitate simpler payment options. Furthermore,
through a unified CRM solution, significant improvements can be made in the
subscriber service experience, allowing the operator to fulfill its mission
of providing the best customer experience to their consumer and corporate
subscribers.

"We are proud to announce this strategic contract. It further validates
our product platform, and demonstrates our continued ability to gain market
share in the converged billing space." said Lucas Skoczkowski, CEO at
Redknee. "Moreover, we believe that by addressing billing requirements of the
growing list of multi-play service providers, Redknee significantly expands
its future market opportunities globally."

Redknee's TCB solution supports all types of access technologies -
including wireless, satellite, WiMAX, wireline and broadband. It addresses
the industry's requirements to evolve legacy billing systems beyond the
traditional model, and delivers a functionally-rich platform that extends
well beyond basic rating and billing functionalities. The solution enables
operators to differentiate service offerings in competitive markets and
deliver the full benefits of a truly converged solution to help service
providers improve their revenues. This includes improvements in the overall
subscriber service experience - from storefront, through provisioning,
real-time rating and charging, billing and customer care, to providing the
tools that allow for fast and flexible pricing, cross-service bundling and
launching of individualized promotions and new services.
