Orange Business Services was named a leader in the Forrester Wave:  European WAN Services, Q2 2008 report, published in April by Forrester Research. Using Forrester’s weightings, Orange Business Services has the highest current offering score, leading 12 major international network operators providing wide area network services to large multinational corporations. Forrester evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of the operators across 62 criteria grouped into three high-level categories: current offering, strategy and market presence. Orange Business Services was recognized as a leader based on the most points of presence, an extensive network, breadth of class of service (CoS) capabilities, its managed services portfolio and market strategy. Specifically, the report states that Orange should be on almost every enterprise’s tender list. In assessing Orange Business Services’ European WAN position as a market leader, Forrester found that:  “Orange’s current offering was the overall leader and includes one of the broadest European WAN solutions portfolios and some of the most comprehensive access options of all the providers evaluated. It has a strong FMC (fixed-mobile convergence) capability based around its Orange mobile businesses, and it is aggressively moving into managed services and IT services.”
