PR Newswire (US)
HONG KONG, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amdocs (NYSE:DOX), the
leading provider of customer experience systems, today announced
that Telstra has deployed Amdocs ChangingWorlds personalization
technology to support its BigPond Mobile portal. The portal offers
customers news and information services through mobile devices. The
announcement was made at Mobile Asia Congress taking place this
week. Telstra has enhanced its BigPond Mobile portal offering to
deliver a more personalized user experience and enable more
efficient management of its mobile content services. The new
portal, which was designed in response to extensive customer
feedback, makes navigating BigPond's expanding inventory of
entertainment, news and directory services even easier. Amdocs
ChangingWorlds is providing Telstra with personalization
capabilities that include: -- Quick and easy access to relevant
content based on users' specific interests; -- Prioritized portal
menus based on users' previously searched content to significantly
reduce the number of clicks required to find relevant content; --
Automatic delivery of user-specific content to alert subscribers
about new and interesting content based on their individual
preferences and usage. "As mobile portals evolve, personalization
technology will be a key contributor to delivering a relevant and
compelling content experience. Amdocs ChangingWorlds technology is
helping Telstra to deliver the right content to the customer at the
right moment," said Telstra Product Management Executive Director,
Ross Fielding. "Our new mobile portal learns what customers like
and personalizes content based on their interests. This means that
if a customer is a sports fan and constantly browses sports
content, sports news will then rise to the top of their home tab.
It's an Australian first, and it will help customers to quickly get
to the content they want, while increasing page visits and content
sales. The new portal technology also gives us the capability to
publish new content in a fraction of the time that it used to take.
This includes enabling us to take direct RSS feeds from our trusted
third-party content providers. This means we can serve up more
content and ensure it's as current as possible," Ross continued.

to enhance Telstra's operational support systems (OSS) which
includes service and resource management, consulting, and
