This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260225123422/en/

 

 

KleanNara Partners with Rimini Street to Accelerate Digital Transformation

KleanNara Partners with Rimini Street to Accelerate Digital Transformation

 

Founded in 1966, KleanNara is one of South Korea’s leading manufacturers of paper and hygiene products. Holding a 25% share of the white cardboard market, the company is known for its commitment to quality, sustainability and innovation, and continues to expand globally with a focus on ESG-driven, eco-friendly products.

 

Breaking Free from Traditional ERP Support Constraints

 

 

For years, KleanNara relied on a traditional ERP support model for its SAP ECC 6 and Oracle Database, systems which are critical for the company’s finance, accounting, sales and customer data management. As the company expanded, IT operations faced high support costs, unresponsive and low-value support services and forced software upgrades just to maintain vendor support.

 

 

“To accelerate digital transformation and to remain competitive in a rapidly changing market environment, it was imperative to increase the flexibility and efficiency of our IT systems,” said Hongjun Jang, digital experience manager at KleanNara. “We needed to keep current systems stable while adopting new technologies and establishing a business-driven roadmap.”

 

 

Rimini Support™ Brings Stability, Flexibility and Significant Cost Savings

 

 

KleanNara needed an ERP support model that could dramatically cut costs, deliver faster, more reliable service and free up people, time and money for growth projects such as AI, cloud strategy and leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) to optimize operations. The company chose Rimini Street for its strong reputation in the industry and ability to provide expert, responsive service with transparent, structured SLAs and a client-focused service model.

 

 

KleanNara achieved immediate financial benefits with Rimini Support™ for SAP and Rimini Support™ for Oracle. By consolidating support under one trusted partner, KleanNara reduced annual vendor support fees by 50% and achieved major improvements in support responsiveness.

 

 

“Rimini Street is quick and accurate, especially when working with customized code and complex systems,” Jang said. “Issues that would have taken days to resolve with a traditional vendor are often resolved within hours with Rimini Street.”

 

 

Investing in AI-Driven Innovation to Support Growth

 

 

With the savings and time KleanNara regained by switching from vendor support to Rimini Street, the company accelerated several key initiatives, including building an AI-powered analytics platform, expanding cloud footprint and implementing IoT in production. These efforts enable the company to forecast and respond to market demand, reduce production costs and maximize inventory efficiency. The savings also support talent recruitment and development to further KleanNara’s digital transformation vision.

 

 

“Reducing fixed costs and optimizing IT operating expenses has paved the way to reinvest resources in core business objectives, including digital transformation, developing eco-friendly products and streamlining production processes, which have been instrumental in strengthening the company’s competitiveness and supporting sustainable growth,” Jang said. “Stabilizing our core systems created space to innovate. Rimini Street has become a key partner in helping us modernize while maintaining the reliability we need.”

 

 

“Mandatory migrations and frequent upgrade cycles often expose organizations to unnecessary risks, unexpected costs and operational disruptions — threatening business continuity and slowing innovation,” said Hyungwook Kim, GVP and regional GM, Rimini Street Korea. “We’re proud to be KleanNara’s partner and help them break free from these constraints, empowering their IT teams to focus on priority initiatives and drive measurable business outcomes. Rimini Street delivers the stability, flexibility and expert guidance needed to support and accelerate KleanNara’s ambitious growth and digital transformation goals.”

AI is Reshaping India’s IT Delivery Model: NIIT Introduces Talent Redistribution Framework

Business Wire India

NIIT Limited, a leading Skills & Talent development corporation, today released a new position paper titled “AI, Work and the Future of Talent in Indian IT” at Confluence 2026, presenting a new analytical framework to understand how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping India’s IT workforce.

 

The paper introduces a new analytical lens describing AI as a “talent redistribution engine” not merely automating tasks but redistributing where enterprise value resides. According to NIIT’s analysis, repetitive, execution-heavy layers within traditional pyramid-based IT models are facing structural compression, while intelligence-intensive roles across AI engineering, orchestration, product architecture, and governance are expanding.

 

For over three decades, Indian IT scaled through execution depth and labor leverage. The report argues that AI is altering the economic logic of traditional IT models – reducing reliance on rules-based tasks and increasing the premium on system-level design, contextual judgment, and governance capability. The shift, it notes, is from scaling headcount to scaling capability density, the integrated strength of human expertise and AI-embedded systems.

 

According to available industry research, there is a tightening of entry-level hiring alongside rising demand for AI and governance roles, reinforcing this structural redistribution. The paper cautions that without redesigning apprenticeship models and transition pathways, compression in execution-heavy layers could impact long-term capability pipelines.

 

The paper also uses the concept of “Agentic Capital” – autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems embedded into enterprise workflows – to frame governance, validation, and auditability as core infrastructure rather than compliance overlays.

 

Pankaj Jathar, CEO, NIIT Ltd., said, “AI represents a deeper architectural shift for India’s IT industry. Competitive advantage will depend on how consciously enterprises redesign talent structures, build intelligence capacity, and institutionalize governance as a foundational capability.”

 

The paper positions ‘Intelligence Capacity’ as the combined capability of humans and AI systems as the new scaling logic for Indian IT, replacing the headcountdriven model. Further, the paper calls on enterprises to redesign role structures, rebuild entry pathways, and embed governance frameworks to avoid reactive contraction and instead leverage structural expansion opportunities.

 

Dr Yogesh Kumar Bhatt, Executive Vice President and Head – New Technologies, NIIT Ltd., said, “AI is not merely automating tasks – it is redistributing enterprise value within IT organizations. Those that respond tactically risk structural compression. Those that respond architecturally can redesign talent structures, strengthen intelligence capacity, and enable strategic expansion.”

The position paper outlines four priorities for Indian IT leaders: deliberate role redesign, scaling intelligence capacity beyond headcount growth, embedding governance frameworks, and rebuilding entry pathways to sustain long-term talent formation.

Tecnotree Wins in Two Categories at Asian Telecom Awards 2026

Tecnotree Wins in Two Categories at Asian Telecom Awards 2026

 

The awards recognise Tecnotree’s AI-powered Moments Engagement and Experience Management platform and the MVNE/MVNO CX Catalyst Initiative, two distinct but complementary capabilities that together demonstrate what it means to be a truly AI-native, TM Forum ODA-aligned operator platform.

 

AI Initiative of the Year: Moments Engagement and Experience Management

 

 

Tecnotree’s award-winning Moments platform redefines how communications service providers engage customers, moving from static, batch-driven campaigns to real-time, contextual experiences powered by GenAI and predictive intelligence.

 

 

Full Stack Data Model for Real-Time Events

 

 

At the foundation of the platform is a full stack real-time event data model that continuously ingests, processes, and enriches customer signals across the entire lifecycle, from network usage and app interactions to billing events, support touchpoints, and location triggers. This always-on data layer provides the live context engine that powers every downstream decisioning and engagement capability.

 

 

GenAI-Powered Segmentation Across Channels

 

 

Leveraging generative AI agents, the platform performs dynamic, predictive segmentation that goes far beyond traditional RFM or rule-based cohorts. AI models continuously score and re-segment customers based on behavioural trajectories, propensity signals, and predicted lifetime value – generating hyper-relevant micro-segments in real time without manual analyst intervention. These segments are instantly actionable across every engagement channel: email, SMS, USSD, IVR, in-app landing pages, and WhatsApp.

 

 

Next-Best-Offer and Next-Best-Action Engines

 

 

Integrated NBO and NBA decisioning engines evaluate each customer’s context, including usage patterns, sentiment signals, churn risk indicators, and current journey stage, to surface the most commercially and experientially relevant action at precisely the right moment. Whether the trigger is a data threshold breach, a contract anniversary, a failed self-service attempt, or a competitor tenure milestone, the platform responds with personalised, channel-optimised engagement that drives conversion, reduces churn, and increases average revenue per user.

 

 

Deployment results across the UAE have demonstrated strong commercial performance, with measurable uplifts in conversion rates, revenue, and customer lifetime value.

 

 

Digital Initiative of the Year: MVNE/MVNO – Launching New Brands and Business Models on an AI-Native ODA Stack

 

 

Complementing its engagement capabilities, Tecnotree’s CX Catalyst Initiative demonstrates the extraordinary flexibility of Tecnotree BSS Suite 5.0, an AI-native, TM Forum Open Digital Architecture (ODA)-aligned platform purpose-built for B2B2X business models in launching and scaling MVNE and MVNO operations with speed and commercial agility.

 

 

Enabling New Brands and Business Models

 

 

In a market where the ability to launch new digital brands, serve niche segments, and experiment with alternative B2B2X business models is a critical competitive differentiator, Tecnotree BSS Suite 5.0 provides a composable, cloud-native foundation that makes MVNO and MVNE deployment radically faster and more cost-effective. Operators can spin up new brands, whether targeting youth, enterprise, IoT verticals, or digital-first communities, without duplicating infrastructure or rebuilding BSS/OSS stacks from scratch.

 

 

Flexibility of the AI-Native ODA Stack

 

 

Tecnotree BSS Suite 5.0 is built on a microservices architecture fully aligned with TM Forum Open APIs and ODA component standards, delivering the modularity and interoperability that B2B2X business models demand. Each functional component, from product catalogue and order management to billing, partner management, customer lifecycle orchestration, and wholesale settlement, operates as an independent, API-exposed capability that can be assembled, scaled, or replaced without disrupting the broader stack.

 

 

This architecture allows MVNOs to bring differentiated propositions to market in weeks rather than months, while MVNE operators can onboard multiple virtual operators and B2B2X partners on a shared but logically isolated platform, reducing total cost of ownership while maximising revenue per network element across every layer of the value chain.

 

 

AI-native capabilities are embedded throughout BSS Suite 5.0: predictive churn models, automated lifecycle interventions, and GenAI-powered self-service experiences are available to every brand and partner on the platform from day one, not bolted on as afterthoughts. This means even the smallest MVNO or B2B2X reseller can compete with the customer experience sophistication of a Tier 1 operator.

 

 

“Being recognised in two key categories at the Asian Telecom Awards reflects the depth and breadth of what we are building at Tecnotree,” said Prianca Ravichander, CCO & CMO, Tecnotree. ‘’Our Moments platform shows that AI-native engagement isn’t a feature, it’s a full stack architecture, from real-time event data from the channels to the network right into our GenAI segmentation, NBO, and NBA across every channel. And Tecnotree BSS Suite 5.0 proves that the same AI-native ODA stack can power entirely new B2B2X brands and business models for MVNOs, MVNEs, and digital brands, with the speed and flexibility the market demands. Together, these wins are a testament to what it means to be built for the intelligence era – not just adapted to it.”
