features include: service bundling; integrated rating engine;
multiple billing cycles; flexible statement design and messaging;
pro-rating; hierarchical account billing; promotional and

in which customers are continuously being evaluated, and
their next statements predicted, providing accurate and upto-the-minute
financial forecasting throughout the bill cycle.

Customer Management
Retain customers, minimize churn
The Amdocs CES Multi-Play Smart Pack Call Center user interface
provides a single view of all services and information relevant to
an account. The National Language Support (NLS) capability
allows your call agents to run the system in their preferred language,
and enables your customers to choose a preferred language for
their bills and other correspondence. The user-interface (UI) is
browser independent and utilizes a secure, web based lightweight
Java client for fast account retrieval and business logic execution.
CES Multi-Play Smart Pack supports a 24x7 operation, remaining
available to all users even while an accounting period is closed.
Call center agents are able to offer contracts which may include
commitment-enforced periods; view serviceability; create and
modify work orders across all services; view and apply payments
and adjustments; and numerous other customer relationship
management functions. Our optional Computer Telephone
Interface (CTI) allows you to establish workflow across your
customer care processes that will maximize the efficiency of
your operation.
Managing your customers’ expectations and meeting your
service commitments are two challenges addressed by our
integrated Service Fulfillment capabilities. In addition to standard
field support capabilities – work order management; workload
management; progress reporting; outage management; online
scheduling – we offer an API suite to support the integration of
other work force management (WFM) products.
We provide order-to-activation provisioning interfaces and an
integrated subscriber self-service capability that enables your
customers to manage their account(s) online. Customer web
self care features allow customers to view their account, order
new services or upgrade existing services, make a payment,
and much more. All of Amdocs’ CES Mutli-Play Smart Pack
APIs are Java/XML based, allowing you complete control of the
transaction. Using the API suite, all Order Processing functionality
can be extended to further support your customer self-service
and third party integration requirements. Moreover, the Amdocs
cEs multi-Play smart Pack aPIs support multiple calling
methods such as Web Services for SOAP/XML over HTTP
applications or service Façade for Java applications.

Growing the business Integration and operability
Product Catalog—creating new products, managing campaigns
Product life cycle management centralizes product information to empower an agile
product strategy. CES Multi-Play Smart Pack’s Product Catalog allows you to quickly
define the services and products you provide. The set-up of these services controls order
taking, charging and automated provisioning. Adding new services, making changes to
existing ones, assigning new promotions to recurring charges in the Product Catalog, and
more, are all in your control. The set-up rules drive pricing automation throughout order
management (e.g., automatic bundling, unbundling, promotional pricing). Furthermore,
cEs multi-Play smart Pack’s Product catalog functions are administered by you as
needed, and do not require Amdocs intervention.
As you strive to meet the appetite of your customers for new services and service
combinations, Amdocs CES Multi-Play Smart Pack enables you to track customer
interests on screens you define and insert into the order and customer management
flow. Segment your target customers using user-defined reporting criteria, including
demographic and geographic information. Analyze the buying trends of these targeted
segments as each promotion is executed, and further refine your promotion targets using
this data. Combining churn analysis with promotion targets and call center feedback
will allow you to alter your business processes, products, and practices to create an
intentional and positive customer experience.
