Amdocs Charging powers 5G monetisation with advanced cloud solutions

Thu, 22nd Aug 2024

Amdocs has solidified its role as a key enabler of 5G monetisation by partnering with Globe Telecom in the Philippines and Telefónica Móviles El Salvador.

Both partnerships underscore Amdocs' ongoing commitment to delivering agile, cloud-based charging solutions that empower telecommunications providers to rapidly introduce innovative services and seize new revenue opportunities in the evolving 5G landscape.

A Partnership Driving 5G Innovation

Early last year,  Amdocs announced the expansion of its strategic collaboration with Globe Telecom, one of the Philippines' leading service providers. The collaboration aims to modernise Globe's charging capabilities, providing the agility necessary to quickly bring new products and services to market.

This development is particularly crucial as Globe rolls out its 5G network across the country.

Under the agreement, Amdocs will deploy its advanced real-time charging solution across Globe's multiple data centres. This transition involves migrating Globe's current charging system and subscribers to the new platform, enhancing the resilience and stability of Globe's services. The implementation of Amdocs' cloud-native, microservices-based solution ensures that Globe can seamlessly introduce differentiated 5G services to consumers and businesses across various lines of business.

Raul Macatangay, Chief Information Officer at Globe Telecom, emphasised the importance of this upgrade, stating: "In the era of digital convergence, it is imperative to ensure continuous modernisation of business support systems in order to embrace new business models and meet evolving customer expectations."

"Building on our partnership with Amdocs, their 5G-native charging solution will provide us with the benefits of flexible, efficient real-time charging and monetisation capabilities, empowering us to meet emerging business demands and customer needs," he added.

The partnership between Amdocs and Globe is set to drive significant efficiencies and cost savings. By leveraging Amdocs' platform, Globe can launch new services with shorter time-to-market, a critical factor in maintaining competitiveness in the fast-paced telecommunications sector. 

Anthony Goonetilleke, Group President of Technology and Head of Strategy at Amdocs, highlighted the strategic importance of this collaboration.

"We are pleased to expand our collaboration with Globe Telecom and provide them with our latest charging platform, offering seamless monetisation opportunities for standalone 5G and beyond. As Globe moves forward on their digital journey, Amdocs platforms will help them drive revenue growth and deliver compelling experiences to their customers."

Pioneering Business Transformation with Amdocs

In a parallel development, Telefónica Móviles El Salvador selected Amdocs as its dedicated charging platform provider, marking a significant step in its business support transformation.

The partnership has upgraded Telefónica Móviles El Salvador's charging systems, enabling the company to capitalise on new monetisation opportunities afforded by 5G technology.

Telefónica Móviles El Salvador has been a key player in the Salvadoran telecommunications industry for 24 years, and this collaboration with Amdocs is poised to bolster its leadership in the market. The new charging platform will not only enhance the company's current operations but also provide the scalability needed to expand into additional countries using the same system.

Luis Del Cid, CEO of Telefónica Móviles El Salvador, expressed optimism about the partnership.

"Innovation runs through our DNA, and to pursue our business transformation, we need the best partners and the best technology. Amdocs is now a strategic ally for our company and will help us to continue leading the telecommunications industry in El Salvador," he said.

This partnership with Amdocs is expected to streamline Telefónica Móviles El Salvador's operations, enabling quicker and more efficient service rollouts.

The platform's flexibility will allow the company to explore and monetise new service offerings, further solidifying its market position.

Amdocs' Goonetilleke added: "As Telefónica Móviles El Salvador expands their business, we're pleased to help them monetise new and innovative service offerings with our scalable, industry-proven charging platform."

"By providing them with a dedicated charging platform, we can assist in their growth into multiple countries and currencies easily and efficiently."

Amdocs' Role in Shaping the Future of 5G

The partnerships with Globe Telecom and Telefónica Móviles El Salvador reflect Amdocs' broader strategy to be at the forefront of 5G monetisation.

Amdocs Charging is widely recognised as the leading real-time, convergent charging system, offering extreme convergence and scalability. The platform's ability to support rapid service deployment and its user-friendly interface allow cross-functional teams within telecommunications providers to swiftly introduce and monetise new business models.

One of the key advantages of Amdocs Charging is its cloud-native architecture, which provides significant scale efficiencies and seamless updates. This capability is particularly important as service providers navigate the complexities of 5G networks.

Amdocs Charging's tight integration with other network functions and revenue enablers ensures that service providers can maximise their monetisation potential.

The platform's ability to orchestrate charging flows for new functions and partner integrations within the 5G core is critical for realising the full value of 5G networks.

Amdocs at the Heart of 5G Monetisation

As the telecommunications industry continues to evolve with the rollout of 5G, Amdocs' pivotal value is confirmed in helping service providers like Globe Telecom and Telefónica Móviles El Salvador harness the full potential of 5G technology.

By delivering advanced, scalable charging solutions, Amdocs is enabling these companies to reduce operational costs, introduce innovative services more rapidly, and ultimately drive revenue growth.

With its proven expertise and cutting-edge technology, Amdocs is making big waves in supporting the telecommunications industry's ongoing transformation in the 5G era.
