ST. LOUIS, Feb. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amdocs (NASDAQ:DOX), the leading provider of customer experience solutions, today announced that it was ranked leader in the revenue and customer management systems market by prominent analyst firms in their latest reports. Amdocs has held this market-leadership position for several years as it continues to meet the changing needs of service providers in an increasingly digital world. The company has also recently received a number of awards recognizing its innovation in this sphere.
“We are pleased to be recognized for our leadership in revenue and customer management and also for the strength of our technology and innovation,” said Anthony Goonetilleke, president of the Amdocs Product Business Group. “Over the past year, we’ve made considerable investments in further expanding our digital solutions in this domain, introducing new digital products as part of our CES 10 and CES 10.1 suites, acquiring technology leaders Vindicia, Brite:Bill and Pontis, and collaborating with domain shapers, including YouTube, Adobe, Frog and 24/7. With projects like our recently announced deployment at Sunrise to further digitalize its call center operations, we are helping our customers offer Generation C consumers around the world the best digital experiences possible.”
