Singtel Group Selects Amdocs for Digital Transformation in Singapore and Australia
ST. LOUIS and SINGAPORE, Nov. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amdocs (NASDAQ:DOX), the leading provider of customer experience solutions, today announced that it has been selected by Singtel, Asia's leading communications group, for a new business transformation project targeted to replace various legacy and third-party systems with a new, online, self-service and commerce platform that will enable Singtel to offer an improved and differentiated digital service experience to customers in its key markets of Singapore and Australia.
Amdocs was selected as a systems integrator to deliver an integrated platform based on the Amdocs Digital Care and Commerce solution. The solution builds on the company's latest CES 9.3 portfolio release and incorporates several leading third-party solutions, including the latest Web technologies in the areas of content management and delivery, cloud services, analytics, social media integration and search. Amdocs will also deliver testing services including performance and security testing to support the rollout, as well as ongoing application maintenance and support under a multi-year services agreement.
"Whether in person, over the phone or online, we want to make sure that every interaction with our customers is seamless and effortless," said Wu Choy Peng, Group Chief Information Officer, Singtel. "Amdocs is helping us to achieve this vision on the digital front. Its Digital Care and Commerce platform provides a holistic view of all interactions.

"We are proud of Singtel Group's continued trust in us to deliver on their most strategic projects as part of their digital transformation journey to offer a simpler, more intuitive and consistent customer experience across channels, as demanded by customers in the New World of Customer Experience," said Chris Williams, head of global marketing at Amdocs. "Analysis1 shows that businesses that embrace digital transformation and are able to increase customer engagement on their online channels, will seize more revenue opportunities, operate more efficiently, and be more profitable than their competitors."
This agreement was signed subsequent to the December 2014 contract announcement with Singtel in December 2014. Amdocs was selected for a business transformation project to consolidate Singtel's billing and customer support systems and product catalogs for retail and enterprise customers across all lines of businesses (wireless, wireline, broadband internet and television) and networks (2G, 3G and LTE). The digital transformation project will integrate with the Amdocs billing and customer care solution into one platform, providing a single customer view and a master enterprise-wide catalog for all products and services.

Ontotext presenting at LDBC Technical User Community Meeting
NEW YORK and SOFIA, Bulgaria, Nov. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Executives from Ontotext will be attending and presenting at the 7th Annual LDBC Technical User Community (TUC) meeting. CEO Atanas Kiryakov, CTO Marin Dimitrov and VP of US Business Operations Peio Popov will all be in attendance. Mr. Kiryakov will be presenting the status of the Semantic Publishing Benchmark, one of two benchmarks that have been developed within the Linked Data Business Council (LDBC). The presentation will cover the latest version as well as the audited results of the benchmark.
About the TUC
The LDBC consortium is holding its 7th Technical User Committee (TUC) meeting November 9 – 10, 2015 at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York just outside of New York City. This year's conference marks the first time in its history that the TUC is meeting outside of Europe. The decision to hold the meeting in the US was made, in part, to help promote the LDBC and its standards to groups in North America. There has been growing interest in LDBC standards in North America with US-based companies IBM, Oracle, OpenLink and Neo Technologies being key members along with Ontotext and other European companies.
Semantic Publishing Benchmark
The Semantic Publishing Benchmark (SPB) is the most advanced benchmark ever developed for triplestores. It was developed by Ontotext and FORTH with support from OpenLink Software and is based on the data from BBC's leading dynamic semantic publishing architecture and projects. Queries and datasets in the SPB simulate a media organisation managing a catalogue of metadata for its digital assets. They are representative of those actually used by BBC in its Linked Data Management projects which back the Sport section of the website and several other projects within BBC.
The benchmark was developed with the goal of covering all the important aspects of both performance and functionality including:- 100s of reads/second with 10s of update transactions/second
- FTS and Geospatial
- Reasoning
- Geospatial data via DBPedia and Geonames
Organizations interested in the SPB can feel confident in using it as a standard without fear of technology lock-in. It is a vendor neutral benchmark which is demonstrated by Ontotext and OpenLink publishing comparable results despite very different technology approaches. Additionally, the entire SPB, its data and drivers are all open and extensively documented, making it easy to customize the data and queries in order to better match concrete application scenarios.
If organizations would like to experiment with the Semantic Publishing Benchmark, Ontotext is eager to provide support to developers. Contact us at www.ontotext.com/contact to request support.
About Ontotext
Launched in 2000 as part of Sirma Group, Ontotext is a leading software provider of semantic technology. Ontotext is jointly owned by Sirma, NEVEQ Capital and company employees. Headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria, Ontotext also operates offices in London, and New York with partners around the world.

GovDelivery Now Connects Government With More Than 100 Million People
ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GovDelivery, the leading provider of cloud-based solutions enhancing the citizen experience, today announced that government is now reaching over 100 million people using the GovDelivery Communications Cloud.
"GovDelivery set out with a vision to help governments realize the potential of a connected world. Connecting our government clients with over 100 million people allows us to fulfill this vision in ways that will bring the citizen experience to a whole new level across our client base," said Scott Burns, CEO and Co-Founder of GovDelivery.
Over 1,000 public agencies leverage the GovDelivery Communications Cloud and Network including every federal department, organizations across all 50 states, 207 local governments, and 167 international institutions.
Burns added, "Hitting the 100 million user mark with a widely used digital communications platform like GovDelivery is a watershed moment for the digital government ecosystem, showcasing the scale and promise of this crucially important movement that has broad support ranging from new startups to the White House and the UK Central Government."
GovDelivery provides a secure, cloud-based communications platform for public agencies to communicate through all major digital channels: email, SMS, and social. With use cases ranging from improving public health and safety, to optimizing payments and permitting, this unprecedented network of users and governments illustrates how public service is changing in the 21st century to be faster, accessible, and focused on world-class customer service:
- Citizens have become actively engaged in neighborhood safety by submitting crime or incident reports online.
- Residents receive up-to-the-minute notifications about Food Standards violations, reducing the risk of food poisoning.
- Entrepreneurs are able to register their new businesses quickly and easily online.
"The GovDelivery Network helps us with our mission of reaching the more than 22 million Veterans across the country," said Tim Hudak, Public Affairs Specialist at the Department of Veterans Affairs. "At no extra effort on our end, we were able to create a relationship with 160K additional people. That's potentially 160K more Veterans who will be able to receive the benefits and resources they have earned."
Given that government organizations are not competitive and often overlap and share interests, GovDelivery enables cross-agency collaboration in ways unprecedented in other sectors. When a citizen signs up to connect with one agency, the GovDelivery Network encourages the citizen to join others either geographically or topically linked. This simple, but powerful connection leads not only toward a more compelling citizen experience, but also dramatically high user growth rates for agencies.
"Leveraging digital communications is not simply about expanding reach, it's about deepening impact and increasing results," said Bob Ainsbury, COO of GovDelivery. "When a public agency takes digital seriously, they can -- and have -- dramatically increased the ROI of their core service delivery through lower costs, better customer experience, and increased, ongoing engagement."
With today's announcement, GovDelivery is also releasing more detailed public statistics of the Network's usage, available at GovDelivery.com/100M.
