Redknee, a provider of business-critical billing and
charging software and solutions for communications service providers, has
entered into a partnership with Tech Mahindra.
The agreement will enable both the companies to jointly
deliver software and services to the communications service providers market.
Redknee and Tech Mahindra announced the
partnership at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2011.
This partnership brings to the market the strongest
combination of Microsoft expertise to communication service
providers pairing Redknee, the leading solutions provider to successfully
integrate its real-time billing capabilities with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and
Tech Mahindra, the 2011 Microsoft Communications Sector Partner of the Year
Award winner.
Communications service providers increasingly value
fully integrated software solutions. This agreement provides a broad range of
integrated billing, charging, customer care and OSS capabilities that deliver
improved time to market and reduced cost,” said Larry Goldman, head of Telecoms
Software Research at Analysys Mason.
We are excited by this announcement by Redknee and Tech
Mahindra. As a matter of practice, we actively encourage Microsoft
partners to collaborate to ensure the strongest depth of expertise and breadth
of solutions are delivered to our customers,” said Jim Dietrich, managing
director, Worldwide Telecommunications at Microsoft.
The reputation and capabilities of Redknee and Tech
Mahindra in the Telecommunications industry make this agreement a shining
example of how our partner ecosystem enables synergies and creates mutual value
for our partners and our customers,” Dietrich added.
Tech Mahindra will

is based on Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, and
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, into its existing portfolio of OSS/BSS
solutions.
By pre-integrating Redknee’s solutions into its offering,

speed for service providers. The partnership will also immediately widen
the scope of business opportunities that Redknee can address among service providers,
through the additional range of services delivered through Tech Mahindra.

providers across the world and we feel that our partner strategy is critical to
fulfilling this opportunity,” Skoczkowski added.
The combination of Tech Mahindra’s niche domain
expertise in the telecommunications industry and Redknee’s acclaimed reputation
of superior software quality will certainly bring value to the partnership and
the end customers. This partnership assures to deliver benefits for both the
entities through a wider scope of business opportunities and greater depth of
