STER THAN ALL-
• Over 15,000 developers globally, over 1,000 projects in
development at any point in time
• 5-6 years ago we started a significant global expansion
• With expansion came IT infrastructure growth – servers,
network, and storage
• To be economically agile, we went with mid-range systems
expecting better costs but resigned to less performance and
scalability
Amdocs is growing at a digital speed…
