An operational support system (OSS) from billing and customer service software developer Amdocs Ltd. (NYSE: DOX) will replace the existing system at Costa Rica's national energy and telecommunications service provider, Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE).
Financial details of the deal were not released.
The Central American enterprise will implement Amdocs CES - Cramer OSS 7.5 products to support planning, inventory and discovery, provisioning and activation, trouble ticketing, service fulfillment and service impact analysis.
Other Israeli companies have recently signed deals with Costa Rica's ICE. Teledata Networks signed a $16.2 million deal in February to supply ICE with its new BroadAccess-1000E platform, an advanced IP -MSAG for delivery of voice and broadband services. Alvarion Ltd. (Nasdaq: ALVR; TASE: ALVR) won a $6 million deal to implement a turnkey project to provide advanced broadband services, deploying its 4Motion solution with its BreezeMAX 2500 platform.
Amdocs will work on this project together with a consortium led by General Business Machines (GBM), an IBM Alliance Company.
ICE has been providing Costa Rica with energy and telecommunications services for more than 60 years and selected Amdocs OSS through a public bid according to Costa Rican legal requirements.
The Amdocs OSS suite of products will replace ICE's existing legacy network-facing systems for its wireless and wireline networks.
Shares in Amdocs closed yesterday at $17.38, giving it a market cap of $3.54 billion.
