ST. LOUIS, Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amdocs (NYSE: DOX - News), the leading provider of customer experience systems, today announced that BendBroadband, an Oregon-based, U.S. triple-play provider, selected Amdocs for next-generation billing, ordering and customer care. Amdocs' software will replace a competitor's legacy platform to help BendBroadband decrease time-to- market for new broadband cable, Internet and voice offerings.

The next-generation Amdocs platform will provide BendBroadband with the flexibility to quickly and cost-effectively enrich its triple-play offering. BendBroadband will be able to rapidly implement new applications and services to boost revenue per customer, strengthen its brand, and drive loyalty, profit and growth.

"We view billing as the core of all our back office and product systems and integral to our ability to delight customers, market products and monitor issues. These factors drove our decision to move from a hosted environment to the Amdocs system which enables us to better manage the complexities of our business," said Amy Tykeson, president and chief executive officer at BendBroadband. "By working with Amdocs, we will gain more control over billing, data, provisioning and integration with third-party vendor applications, and be able to differentiate the BendBroadband brand with a unique and personalized customer experience."

"Providers at the vanguard of the industry, such as BendBroadband, realize they cannot compete on technology alone. Increasingly, they compete on the basis of the customer experience they deliver," said Charles Born, vice president of corporate communications at Amdocs. "By deploying our systems, BendBroadband will be able to evolve with the Amdocs customer experience systems blueprint. BendBroadband will further set itself apart from the competition, offering an intentional customer experience to different customer audiences, and ensuring it is seamless across services and devices."
