Orange Business Services won Best Global Operator for the second consecutive
year and Best Project Management at the World Communication Awards 2007.
The awards recognize significant achievements and developments in the global
telecoms industry and Orange was short listed seven times in the 12 award categories.
The winning entry showed that Orange offers not only the unparalleled reach of
an international network, but also security, simplicity and flexibility. Through
its consultative approach, Orange is a trusted advisor to thousands of multinationals,
helping them use communication and technology as tools in the quest for global
success. Orange was also recognized for Best Project Management. This award was
based on the complete design and deployment of the entire global IT and communications
infrastructure in eight months for Fox-Pitt, Kelton, a leading global financial
institutions group investment bank. Orange delivered an all-encompassing solution,
everything from Wide Area Networks to IP Telephony and security along with the

Orange Business Services has "strong and clear growth plans in each world region,
adapted for each region/sector" and a raft of reference customers to back up the
