Portugal's Sonaecom Group Deploys Amdocs' Operations Support Systems

Posted on: Tuesday, 27 January 2009, 05:00 CST

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), the leading provider of customer experience systems, today announced that Sonaecom, a leading Portuguese service provider, has expanded its use of Amdocs Cramer OSS (operations support systems) for fulfillment and resource management. Amdocs Cramer OSS is supporting Sonaecom's xDSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and FTTH (Fiber To The Home) networks.

Sonaecom has deployed Amdocs Cramer OSS to gain complete visibility over its network assets, enabling it to accurately identify which assets are being deployed for which services, and for which customers. As a result, Sonaecom can allocate network resources and run service fulfillment processes more efficiently, and thereby receive more value from its network assets. In addition, Sonaecom has deployed Amdocs Cramer OSS in a Linux environment to reduce the ongoing costs of its operations.

"Amdocs was the natural choice for us for this project -- it was critical to ensure a successful project from day one, and Amdocs has already proved to us over the course of our long-term relationship that it can deliver," said Julio Santos, OSS Director for Sonaecom. "Amdocs provides us with a strong foundation for our future OSS requirements, especially in the area of network resource management. By automating operational processes and using our network more efficiently, we can improve our customers' experience, giving them faster and more accurate order delivery, while reducing our total cost of ownership."
