All right. I think we can go ahead and get started. Thank you all for coming today. I have the pleasure of hosting Amdocs President and CEO, Shimie Hortig. Shimi, thank you for joining me today.
Thank you for the invitation.
Of course. I would like to touch on both some near-term and longer-term dynamics. But Shimi, since Amdocs is new for many investors, can you start by just telling us a little bit more about Amdocs' role in the global telco market and some of the support that you provide for your customers?
Okay. Good afternoon. For those of you who are not familiar with Amdocs, market leader in the telecommunication industry. We are providing mission-critical systems for more than 400 service providers all over the world. The largest one and the most significant one globally in more than 90 countries, in which we basically run and transform their business. We sit at the heart of the operation of the telecom service provider and telecom operators, supporting digital experiences. 3 billion customers are impacted by our systems on a daily basis. As a mission-critical systems, our customers rely on us to launch new products and offering for them, to manage customers, and to generate revenue for our customers. We have a unique business model, outcome-based business model, that on one hand is committed to innovation and to technology leadership.
On the other hand, we take full responsibility on everything that we do for our customers. From developing their products, implementing them in the customer's environment, migrating customers, and then running and supporting the operations of the systems in a long-term managed services agreement. We have a very deep and long-lasting relationship with our customers for many years. Recurring revenue, very high visibility, and high renewal rate of our contracts with our customers. Now with the agentic era, we see ourself as the primary partner for our customers for this journey, basically helping them to unlock the value that this technology can bring, and to generate the business value of reducing complexity, reimagining the workflows end-to-end, launching faster offerings to the market, and obviously reducing the cost structure.
Yeah. So we're definitely going to talk a lot about what your agentic vision is Yeah for the company, but one of the things I did want to touch on that you mentioned briefly there is your outcome-based business model.
Can you talk a little bit more about that and specifically how that drives, in your view, part of Amdocs' competitive mode?
Yeah. Some companies are changing their business model lately. This is not the case for Amdocs. We've been forever, the 40 years of the company existence, we're always an outcome-based company. We're always committed to our customers and getting paid based on meeting KPIs, SLAs. Therefore, this was always the engagement. We are not a time and material kind of a company. We don't provide bodies or services. It's all outcome-based engagement. In today's environment, when it's more technology-led and not people-led and so on, then this business model is definitely the right model also going forward.
Okay, you talked a little bit about your excitement for the agentic era Yeah and what the long-term opportunity that this presents to help the telco industry.
In your view, what does agentic mean for the global telco industry, and where do you think we are now on the adoption curve?
Yeah. I think for an industry, and we know this industry very well for many years, it is an amazing opportunity to fundamentally change the way our customers operate. We know the complexity, and we know how cumbersome the flows and the processes in the telco today, and we think that it is an amazing opportunity to change it fundamentally. The challenge right now is that on one hand, the technology can provide, there is a lot of excitement, and the technology is getting better every week, every day. But on the other hand, we do not see a lot of adoption so far by our customers. We see our role, and that is why we came with aOS, the agentic operating system, to help them realize the value and accelerate the adoption. Because right now, to your question, how far are we? We think that we are quite early in the journey.
Customers are mainly dealing with some experiments. They are implementing use cases. They are implementing some agents here and there. But in order to reach to the more long-term benefit of fundamentally change the way they operate the environment, we will need to move to the next level. Here comes aOS, and this is exactly the strategy that we have for our company for the future.
Yeah, we're going to talk a lot about aOS. But before we jump to that Yeah can we just talk a little bit about your longer term vision and more specifically, your stated four-pillar strategy for the long-term success of the business?
Yeah. The strategy that we outlined for the company going forward is based on four pillars, as you mentioned. The first pillar, we call it aOS, the agentic operating system. In this pillar, we see ourself helping and partnering right now with 400 customers that we have today all over the world to take them from where they are today to the future agentic operating system. In order to do that, we came up with aOS, the agentic operating system of Amdocs, which is the technological framework that basically includes everything that is needed, from products, services, tools, migration tools, in order to help customers start to realize the value of their agentic technology.
And we see ourself partnering with each and every one of those 400 customers and starting a journey, which we know, by the way, is going to be a different journey from one customer to another based on the preference of the customers, based on the starting point, but a journey that we start to realize the value of agentic. That's the main first pillar of our strategy. In the second pillar, we talk about expanding to additional vertical. We believe that the success that we have been having for many years in telecommunication and aOS, the agentic operating systems that we are developing and preparing right now for telecommunication, can be relevant for additional vertical. We're talking about high regulated industries that we can take everything that we do there and help this industry to transform as well, again, leveraging our agentic offering from telco.
