Siemens awards €80 million euro WAN deal to Orange Business Services
June 10, 2008
Siemens AG has signed a five-year, €80 million MPLS IP VPN contract with Orange
Business Services to migrate a large portion of its worldwide network. This comprises
1,100 sites of Siemens' wide area network (WAN) across 70 countries in Africa,
Asia, Southwest Europe and North & Latin America.
Siemens was looking for a flexible solution that supports global reach, a reliable
and broad portfolio of services, as well as the ability to support future convergence
over the network. Orange Business Services won the business and beat out other
competitors in the bidding process. The high security standards, quality of service,
local support and attractive price-performance ratio of the Orange solution were
the overriding reasons for Siemens’ decision.
Dr Norbert Kleinjohann, CIO of Siemens, is very pleased with his new partner:
“Orange Business Services provides us with a global, future-oriented network at
an attractive price.”
