International (NASDAQ: CSGS), a global provider of interactive,
transaction-driven solutions and services, today announced that
Eastlink, one of Canada's leading video entertainment and communications
service providers, has chosen CSG Ascendon to further strengthen the
consumer viewing experience.
CSG Ascendon is a new platform designed to enable service providers like
Eastlink to launch, scale and monetize new digital services such as
movies, games, home security and over-the-top offerings with a seamless
link to the customer's existing services.
"With so many options for consumers to find and view video content, we
are committed to building on the compelling viewing experience we
currently offer, which we believe will keep our customers coming back
for more," said Lee Bragg, CEO of Eastlink. "As a complement to
our existing services, Ascendon can help us simplify access, payment and

currently available to our customers."

"Ascendon is designed to open new market opportunities for service
providers to reach more consumers using digital services, across
devices," said Chad Dunavant, vice president of product management at
CSG International. "Many providers have begun a business transformation
to become digital service providers, but need new cutting-edge
strategies and systems to take the next step. Ascendon offers them the
ability to get to market quickly with new services, without uprooting
their existing technology investments."
