Orange Business Services has signed a €160 million, seven-year outsourcing agreement with Numonyx, a leading flash memory provider, to implement and manage a significant part of its information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure.

Launched March 31, Numonyx is the result of the merger of the non-volatile flash memory activities of Intel and STMicroelectronics and is headquartered in Switzerland. Orange Business Services implemented the messaging and Web services infrastructure in just a few months to be ready for the company’s launch and is now connecting approximately 7,000 Numonyx employees across 20-plus sites, with major locations in China, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and the US.
At launch date, the data center for the core financial and HR business applications was fully operational, allowing Numonyx to manage its financial and HR information independent from the parents.
Orange Business Services is supplying Numonyx with a comprehensive service portfolio, including: a worldwide data center for business applications; LAN and WAN network services; global IT services, such as Active Directory, messaging and SharePoint; and telephony and conferencing services. “Establishing a complex infrastructure from scratch against an aggressive timeline calls for close and trusted partnership with an industry leader,” said Mathieu Clerkx, senior vice president Global Infrastructure, Numonyx. “We are confident that Orange is the right choice for Numonyx. They succeeded in deploying the infrastructure on time, with limited and well managed start up problems.”
