Israel’s Pelephone Drives Consumer IoT Innovation, Joining Other Service Providers Worldwide on Amdocs eSIM Platform
13 June 2019 - 8:00PM
Amdocs (NASDAQ: DOX), a leading provider of software and services
to communications and media companies, continues to show business
value and innovation with its cloud-based, digital eSIM platform,
which enables service providers to activate and manage a wide range
of eSIM-enabled devices. Today the company is announcing that
Pelephone, a leading Israeli service provider, has gone live on the
Amdocs eSIM platform, enabling Pelephone to launch eSIM-enabled
devices in its market, starting with the Apple Watch. The launch
follows Apple’s formal certification of the Pelephone offering
supported by the Amdocs eSIM platform.
“Having a strong focus on consumer IoT, it’s important for us to
quickly bring our customers the latest advancements, from watches
to car applications,” said Nimrod Ben-Tov, chief technology officer
at Pelephone. “Our go-live on the Amdocs eSIM platform required
minimal effort from our network, IT and marketing teams. Given this
platform’s low-risk business model, it makes little sense for
service providers like ourselves to try and build our own
solutions.”
The Amdocs eSIM platform offers a two-sided
software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution in which service providers
get access to a wide range of original equipment manufacturers’
(OEM) products, pre-integrated, while OEMs can reach the largest
consumer base worldwide. The platform is also pre-integrated with
the leading eSIM data bases, enabling simple and fast integration
into a service provider’s network and IT systems.
Once deployed, service providers can quickly offer their
customers any new device that becomes available, with no additional
back-end software updates or integration. Furthermore, the Amdocs
platform provides unique customer care and support capabilities
after device activation, allowing the real-time identification and
resolution of issues or malfunctions that may arise. Amdocs also
helps with the design of the customer interfaces, using global best
practices so that customers enjoy a superior eSIM device management
experience.
“While the transition from consuming media on physical to
digital products has been underway for several years across many
industries, the trend has now extended into the area of mobile
services,” said Gary Miles, chief marketing officer, Amdocs. “The
introduction and subsequent proliferation of eSIM represents an
opportunity for mobile service providers to onboard millions of new
devices to their networks, simplify and expedite service
registration, and reduce the cost of logistics and distribution.”
“At the same time, the ability to handle growing numbers of mobile
consumer-connected devices while ensuring a simple and unified
customer experience remains a real challenge. Amdocs helps service
providers overcome this exact challenge. Our solution simplifies
the journey and reduces costs for the service provider, while also
delivering a superior customer experience,” Miles concluded.
Pelephone’s deployment of the Amdocs eSIM platform follows the
successful rollout of the Amdocs solution at Vivo, one of the
largest operators in Brazil. Several other eSIM platform projects
have either been completed or are underway at operators in North
America, Asia Pacific and EMEA. The Amdocs solution can be deployed
on private clouds and is also available hosted on the Microsoft
Azure public cloud.
