Amdocs Wants to Bring Together PCC, DPI, Optimization and Analytics Vendors


Amdocs announced "Amdocs PCC Ecosystem partner program - This expansion of Amdocs' Enreach partner program will address service providers' lack of integration in the network control domain by bringing together policy, charging, inline monetization, deep packet inspection (DPI), optimization and analytics vendor specialists. The program's goal is to create the industry's broadest ecosystem of partners working together to develop new offerings and service provider use cases. 

Amdocs PCC Ecosystem will be part of the Amdocs Experience Center, which will create real-life demonstrations of the new solutions so service providers can see firsthand the value of PCC integration. The facility will give service providers a logical starting point for innovating and incubating new ideas".



Sample PCC Ecosystem Use Cases (see "Amdocs Policy and Charging Control Ecosystem and Data

  • Multiple application quotas: Offer flexible service tiers with application-based usage quotas
