Expertise in converging technologies and flexible global service delivery network enables innovative coupon service at payment

BEIJING, China, SAN JOSE, Calif., and TAMPERE, Finland, Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Symbio, a leading software product foundry and provider of outsourced product development solutions worldwide, today announced it has been selected by Cashklick, a coupon redemption technologies corporation, as the company's software product development partner.  Since May 2010, Symbio has been developing Cashklick's coupon redemption system, enabling consumers to save digital coupons to their debit or credit cards, providing a seamless check-out solution and driving more traffic into stores.

According to Cashklick's partner Inmar, the US-based leading promotion transaction settlement provider, brands issued 367 billion coupons in 2009, but only 3.3 billion coupons were redeemed.  As consumers adopt a more conscious approach to spending, and distribution channels expand to include both offline and online, there is a crying need for a powerful and ubiquitous coupon redemption system.

"Symbio was chosen as our software development partner because of the company's focus on digital convergence and deep expertise in payment and Web-technologies," said Christian Duroux, CEO of Cashklick, Inc.  "With the flexibility of Symbio's global service delivery network in North America, Europe and Asia, coupled with its record in providing R&D services, it is the perfect co-creation partner to scale with and decrease our product's time-to-market."

"Symbio is excited to partner with Cashklick and revolutionize the payment process for both consumers and merchants," said Jacob Hsu, CEO of Symbio.  "Cashklick's vision in accelerating the growth of digital coupons is a perfect example of how technology challenges the status quo, revolutionizing payments and the coupon industry.  We are delighted to play a strategic co-creative role and help to actualize Cashklick's innovation."
