Realyst connects with MTN Nigeria

Johannesburg, 18 Sep 2006

Realyst today announced that in conjunction with its Nigerian reseller, Softworks, MTN Nigeria has successfully implemented the former`s contract management system.

"Following a successful implementation, they have over 5 000 contracts now being handled by the Realyst system," commented Paul Maddison, director of Realyst.

"This is our first installation in continental Africa and our first with Softworks," added Maddison. "It is always gratifying to see many of the benefits that we know can be achieved, materialising in practice. Contract lifecycle management is just one aspect of the `compliance` issue that now faces all organisations. However, addressing this part of the `complete` solution ensures a sound basis for tackling the other phases of this multi-faceted topic."

MTN Nigerian has nearly 10 million subscribers and is the leading mobile operator in that country, with an estimated market share of 45%.
