ST. LOUIS, June 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), the leading provider of customer experience systems, today announced that the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP®) has placed Amdocs in the top 20 in its annual rankings of the world's best outsourcing service providers – The Global Outsourcing 100®. Amdocs is also among the top ten providers that support the entertainment and media industry, and among the top 20 in the regional sub-lists of outsourcing service providers in the United States, Europe and Southeast Asia.

"As the economy recovers, partnering with the world's best outsourcing providers and advisors will be more important than ever," said IAOP Chairman Michael Corbett and chair of the judges' panel. "The Global Outsourcing 100 and The World's Best Outsourcing Advisors help companies easily identify those partners that will help them emerge as leaders."

"Managed services excellence enables our customers to substantially reduce costs and deliver a better, more consistent consumer experience," said Brian Shepherd, Group President of marketing and mobile services at Amdocs. "Outsourcing BSS and OSS operations to Amdocs can also help service providers of all sizes react faster to new business models by modernizing legacy systems and speeding time-to-market."

The 2010 Global Outsourcing 100 list was published in a special advertising section in May's FORTUNE 500 issue of FORTUNE magazine and provides a benchmark for overall outsourcing excellence across industries. Companies are judged on four critical characteristics: size and growth; customer references; organizational competencies; and management capabilities. The selection process also takes into consideration such factors as employee education, training, and commitment to community development.

Amdocs has more than 25 years of managed services experience and has developed industry-leading tools and business process best practices. Amdocs supports several of the world's leading communications service providers and media and directory publishers with a low-cost, managed services business model, including AT&T in the U.S., Elisa in Finland, Bell Canada, T-Mobile UK and Sensis in Australia.
