KPN Mobile Selects Amdocs’ Cramer6 OSS Suite
Leading European Mobile Operator Will Use Cramer6 OSS Suite to Model New Core Network ST. LOUIS, MO - October 24, 2006 - Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), the leading provider of software and services to enable integrated customer management and the intentional customer experienceTM, today announced that KPN Mobile has selected Amdocs’ Cramer6 OSS Suite as the strategic platform for a new combined 2G/3+G core mobile network. This expands the longstanding relationship between Cramer, Amdocs OSS Divison, and KPN Mobile, the wireless service provider serving 8.3 million subscribers in the Netherlands. KPN Mobile will use the Amdocs Cramer solutions to consolidate its multiple operations support systems (OSS). The Cramer solutions will enable KPN to model and synchronize data across its entire mobile network. As a result, KPN will be able to utilize its network resources more effectively and rapidly deploy new services. Amdocs’ new agreement with KPN Mobile significantly expands its longstanding relationship with the incumbent Netherlands operator. In 2001 KPN chose Cramer technology to form the basis of its next generation wireline and wireless OSS. Cramer provided an enterprise-wide solution for KPN, spanning its multiple business units, including KPN fixed line, mobile, ePacity (KPN’s corporate IP VPN offering) and its pan-European fiber optic network. “Amdocs Cramer solutions will be an important driver of KPN’s speed to market with new network and service deployments,” said John Wittekamp, IT Manager, KPN Mobile. “We are confident that our work on the new KPN Mobile core network will allow us to move even faster towards converged networks and services.” “Amdocs - including its Cramer division — continues to demonstrate its strength in supporting the complexity of OSS consolidation and convergence,” said Guy Dubois, president of Cramer, Amdocs OSS Division. “As a key enabler of OSS transformation projects, Amdocs will allow KPN to further reduce the complexity and costs of its OSS landscape.”
