Metanga Powers Mobile Enablement Payment for Google-Confirmed Vendor

WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwire - Apr 2, 2012) - [ MetraTech Corp ]., the leading provider of agreements-based billing and compensation solutions, today announced that [ Metanga ], its multi-tenant, cloud-based billing application, will monetize InfoGin's new mobile cloud service, called GinWiz.

For the first time, our patented technology, which was previously available only to large publishers and carriers, is now available as a do-it-yourself cloud service. By leveraging Metanga, we were able to quickly bring to the market GinWiz's mobile cloud service, offering any business the tools it needs to compete in today's mobile economy."
