ST. LOUIS , MO - November 21, 2006 - Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), the leading provider of software and services to enable integrated customer management and the intentional customer experience ™, today announced that MetroPCS has signed an agreement under which the company will use Amdocs’ Qpass digital commerce platform to deliver premium content and services to its subscribers. In addition, Amdocs will provide integration and content management services to support and efficiently manage the content.
Amdocs’ Qpass digital commerce platform will enable MetroPCS subscribers to access a wealth of new content and premium service offerings, including short message services, chat, voting, ringtones, and graphics. The Qpass platform will also help make it easier and more convenient for MetroPCS subscribers to interact with their provider.
“By integrating our platform with Amdocs’ Qpass digital commerce solution, we’re able to dramatically enhance the customer experience, further simplifying the merchandizing, delivery, billing, and management of rich content and services,” said Roger Linquist, president and CEO of MetroPCS.
Amdocs’ Qpass platform will allow MetroPCS to merchandize and market premium content to end-users by supporting merchant, offer and promotions management. The platform will also help MetroPCS maintain its relationships with content providers, providing functions such as payments, customer care, financial reporting and settlement.
“As the content market continues to grow, there is a need to ensure a standard, transparent way to manage, bill and settle digital content transactions purchased either on the service provider’s portal or ‘off portal’ from third party media companies,” said Michael Matthews, chief marketing officer of Amdocs. “Service providers and media companies require more efficient financial management, improved customer care capabilities, and real-time reporting tools to drive the success of converged digital commerce. Amdocs’ Qpass solution is uniquely able to address those needs, and it will help MetroPCS continue to build and manage its premium digital content business, and to do so profitably.”
