By integrating with core banking and other enterprise applications such as customer relationship and risk management, the DPPM solution will help banks craft bundles of products and price them in real time. As part of the solution, banks will have an enterprisewide view of customers by leveraging the SAS([R]) Banking Intelligence Architecture. They will also be able to offer flexible pricing plans and deliver consolidated statements by leveraging Amdocs' dynamic pricing engine and product catalog. While banks today can create product bundles, they are extremely difficult to change and customize.

"SAS' best-in-class, integrated analytical banking intelligence platform and Amdocs' product catalog and dynamic pricing engine give banks the required flexibility to change pricing and product bundles so they can develop and sustain a personalized approach for customers," said Ellen Joyner, Global Financial Services Marketing Manager for SAS.

The DPPM solution's full product management platform will also offer mutual economic benefits for banks and their customers. For example, the bank will be able to create a bundle that includes free checking with a savings account Savings Account
