Tell us something about the different areas Amdocs ventured into of late…

Ithink over the past 5-6 years, Amdocs has gone into very interesting domains and verticals, including mobile financial services. We have customers here in India and we’ve gone into network. We’ve acquired companies like Actix and Celcite, the two companies with solutions such as Self Optimizing Networks for RAN (Radio Access Networks). And we have been very instrumental in developing the NFV. We have been going into IoT too. We have acquired Vindicia and we are completing our offering in the OTT entertainment domain. And of course, you know, the business unit that I represent is the Amdocs Optima. It has been established about 18 months ago following the acquisition of Converse BSS assets. We have acquired basically those assets and with them we got about 160 customers who are present globally.
