Amdocs Announces a Strategic Collaboration with Amazon Web Services to
Offer AmdocsONE on the Cloud to Accelerate CSPs’ Journey to Cloud-Native
Solutions and Operations
Today at Mobile World Congress,
Amdocs (NASDAQ: DOX), a leading provider of software and services to
communications and media providers, announced
a Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to
accelerate Communications Service Providers’ (CSPs) Transition to the cloud to
drive rapid innovation and operational efficiencies.
A
recent, comprehensive industry survey completed by Analysis Mason found
that by 2022 more than 90 percent of CSP systems will run on the cloud, with
more than 60 percent of these systems running on hybrid architectures. To
address this growing segment Amdocs, with AWS, will provide several
initiatives, including:
· The
migration of Amdocs’ Business Support Systems and third-party legacy
environments into an optimized, hybrid cloud operational environment.
Amdocs will enable and support CSPs as they deploy and migrate new and existing
Amdocs products to AWS.
· Amdocs
Managed Services Provider (MSP) practice to help CSPs modernize and drive low
touch operations on an efficient and outsourced basis, including highly secure
and reliable AWS technologies. This practice leverages Amdocs’
certification distinction as an AWS Advanced Technology Provider Partner in the
AWS Partner Network (APN).
· To
help CSPs test new offerings, consumer uptake and disruptive business models
for faster time to market and greater business agility, Amdocs will use
cutting-edge technologies around open source, hyper-scale systems, and elastic
network scaling to create AWS cloud-native environments.
“Communications
and media providers run some of the most mission critical and hyper scale
systems on the planet. Amdocs is a clear long-term leader in enabling
CSPs across the globe and we are excited to collaborate with them to deliver
impactful value to our mutual customers,” said Terry Wise, Global Vice
President of Channels and Alliances, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “The Amdocs and
AWS strategic collaboration has been created to support CSPs as they embark on
and accelerate their cloud journey to achieve new levels of business agility,
innovation, and cost savings. This collaboration will enable CSPs to
rapidly become digital service providers, delivering new and enhanced customer
experiences that are simple, personal, contextual and valuable at every point
of engagement across all channels.”
“Putting
the customer first is an ethos that both companies are very passionate about.
This strategic collaboration with AWS will help accelerate our customers’ cloud
journeys while strengthening our own cloud-native capabilities. AmdocsONE is fueled
by cloud technologies as a fundamental design tenant and, as a result, many of
our platforms today are fully cloud-native. We leverage a carrier-grade,
microservices design paradigm to harness the dynamic scaling and deployment
power of the AWS Cloud, and are excited about what this opportunity means to
our customers,” said Anthony Goonetilleke, Group President for Amdocs
Technology.
The Amdocs strategic program represents an expansion of the
existing relationship between Amdocs and AWS. The companies have been working
together for several years to support communication and media companies in
their move to the cloud. In November 2016, Amdocs achieved AWS Internet of Things (IoT) Competency Partner
Status, demonstrating its technical proficiency and proven customer success in
the IoT connected home specialized solution area.
