Amdocs Wins Azerbaijani Billing Contract

Azerbaijan based mobile operator, Bakcell has selected Amdocs Compact Convergence suite to support its continued growth. Bakcell will use Amdocs' unified convergent charging platform as well as its service delivery and value-added-services system to support prepaid and postpaid voice, SMS and data services.

Bakcell will also use Amdocs to implement a disaster data recovery system to back up its customer information.

"Using Amdocs Compact Convergence, we will be able to dramatically reduce our time to market for new services, and enjoy the operational flexibility and agility we need to continue our rapid growth in the Azeri market," said Martin Quirke, chief executive officer of Bakcell. "The Amdocs solution will enable us to provide our customers a much broader service offering, more pricing options, and an enhanced and personalized customer experience."

Estimates from the Mobile World database report that Bakcell is estimated to have ended last year with around 1.24 million subscribers, representing a market share of 15.75% - although the company took over 27% of the net additions in the country last year.
