ST. LOUIS, Missouri, March 3, 2010-- Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), the leading provider of customer experience systems,
today announced that it received the highest possible overall rating of "Very
Strong" in Gartner's business support systems (BSS) vendor evaluation. This
was reported in the Gartner(1) Dataquest report published in December 2009
titled, "Dataquest Insight: Business Support System Market Overview and
Strategic Scorecard for Vendors, 2009."
In May 2009, Gartner ranked Amdocs as the worldwide market share leader

2006-2008."
In January Amdocs announced the new version of its product portfolio -
Amdocs CES 8 - the industry's most comprehensive portfolio of customer
experience systems (CES) spanning BSS, operational support systems (OSS) and
network-connected service delivery platforms (SDP). New BSS products
introduced can help service providers lower their operational costs and grow
their business profitably as they launch new services include:
- Amdocs Convergent Charging (Turbo Charging) - A single,
real-time charging product for both prepaid and postpaid services; set
an industry record while measuring real-time charging for prepaid
services on blade servers in a recent benchmark test that ran charging
scenarios for 150 million subscribers, including 120 million prepaid
subscribers, demonstrating the ability to process 276 million busy hour
call attempts (BHCA) - executing 3,300 events per second per core; the
product also supports the Linux/x86 operating system, and can run on
multiple servers based on x86 processors;
- Amdocs Universal Storefront - Delivers one e-commerce
experience for all goods and services - from devices and accessories to
pricing plans, ring tones and video by hiding the complexity of service
providers' different offerings and configurations, allowing consumers
to experience a familiar, simple shopping experience;
- Amdocs BSS Pack - Off-the-shelf solution for rapid, low-risk
deployment, pre-packaging products, services and business processes for
convergent charging (based on Amdocs' Turbo Charging technology),
ordering, CRM, self-service and a product catalog; can be deployed for
trial within two weeks.
