Exhibit 99.1
Amdocs Limited Completes Acquisition of Solect
Combination Creates Unmatched Business Systems Solution for Communications and
Internet Services
ST. LOUIS, Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 6, 2000--Amdocs Limited (NYSE:DOX -
news), the leader in customer care, billing and order management solutions for
the communications industry, today announced the completion of its previously
announced acquisition of Solect Technology Group Inc., a leading provider of IP
customer care and billing software.
Avi Naor, CEO of Amdocs Management Limited, commented, "This merger establishes
the industry's most complete business systems solution for communications and
Internet service providers. Amdocs' expanded solution covers all wireline,
wireless, IP and convergence services, provides full scalability, and includes
comprehensive project delivery and service capabilities. The uniqueness of this
offering is generating tremendous interest in the market, and has already
resulted in important new customer wins."
Naor added, "The integration of Amdocs and Solect is progressing smoothly.
Solect's employees have outstanding knowledge of IP systems, and this is already
having a significant impact as we plan together to meet our future business
goals. Teams from both companies are working very closely and positively
together. There is an excellent fit in corporate cultures, which we see
reflected in the enthusiasm of Solect employees as they respond to the new
professional challenges and opportunities for growth that are continually
emerging when working for a highly successful market leader like Amdocs."
As a result of the merger, which was approved by Solect's shareholders at a
special meeting, Solect has become a subsidiary of Amdocs. The holders of
Solect's common shares have received a new class of exchangeable shares of
Solect that are exchangeable at any time, share for share, for ordinary common
shares of Amdocs. Certain shareholders representing over 80% of Solect's
outstanding share capital have agreed not to sell portions of their shares in
Amdocs for periods ranging three months to one year after closing.
Solect's IAF Horizon is the world's leading carrier-grade billing, customer care
and service management software for next generation service providers including
