The new win is with an existing customer to enhance and customize the MINDBill platform to support a Hosted Mobile (MVNO) – transforming the existing customer into a full MVNE. The MVNE platform includes all MINDBill modules, omnichannel ecommerce, mobile app and WEB selfcare for residential and commercial users. The MINDBill platform enables integration with external applications such as ERP, support for multiple languages, branding throughout the applications and communication methods and the customizations include contract layout, invoice layout, receipt layout, and notifications.
Active Pursuit of Acquisitions
As previously announced, we continue targeting potential acquisitions that could be a source of growth, by focusing on acquisition targets at reasonable valuations that satisfy the criteria we defined: proven revenues, complementary technology or geography and expected accretion to earnings within two to three quarters.
