Dan Hod: Building Bridges: How Amdocs Collaborates with Hyperscalers to Deliver Customer Value

Ecosystem Aces

In the ecosystem world, being forward thinking is crucial — if you are building partnerships when you need them, and not when you anticipate the needs of your customers and the trends of the market, you won’t be on the cutting edge.
In this episode, we are joined by Dan Hod, VP, Global Cloud Partnerships and Business Development at Amdocs, as he talks through his long-time journey in the tech industry, leveraging a clear long-term vision to build synergistic partnerships that deliver customer value. Dan also shares how Amdocs is shifting from vendor-specific to open source technology and thus enabling him to work closely with hyperscalers like AWS, Azure, and Google to create a mechanism for cloud consumption and transacting via the marketplace.
Join us as we discuss:

• How Dan is building relationships with cloud partners at Amdocs around open source, network, big data, and AI
• Growing joint business with hyperscalers by approaching smaller telcos
• Amdocs’ growth plan in the FSI to become a leading telco
