Cerillion lands £4.8m support system contract

Cerillion has won a major new contract worth an initial £4.8m with SMS and message delivery solutions provider Link Mobility.

Under the terms of the contract, Cerillion will supply and install its Enterprise Business Support System/Operations Support System suite to support Link Mobility's growth across multiple international territories, with the initial implementation set to be delivered over the next nine months.

The AIM-listed company said its solution will provide back office and operational support systems, including CRM, billing, convergent charging, order management, workflow and network provisioning.

Chief executive Louis Hall said: "We are delighted to have secured this prestigious contract with Link Mobility. It is another example of the larger contracts that we are now securing, and demonstrates the diversity of business needs that the Cerillion platform is able to support as well as our ability to deploy multi-tenanted solutions across multiple international operating units."

Analysts at house broker Shore Capital said the company is signing some of the largest contracts in its history, including a £5.1m deal signed earlier this month, after the new business pipeline referenced in recent interim results was indicated to be "very encouraging".

Cerillion's shares were up 5.20% at 172.00p at 1001 BST.
