your business needs are our main driver
Your ICT infrastructure has to constantly adapt to new business models and support the company's evolving business processes.
Network services are growing in complexity as they become more embedded in applications and IT. As you know, we are observing the emergence of ubiquitous IP networks, blurring the frontiers between IT and telecoms. And our customers are accelerating the migration to new solutions, like full IP networks, fixed-mobile convergence, IP telephony and unified communications.
managing large ICT projects or outsourcing projects
Running the ICT infrastructure while providing the best possible quality of service, the highest level of security, the most up to date features, and the highest grade of usability, is a difficult task. This is why an increasing number of clients are deciding to focus on their core business activities therefore relinquishing the responsibility for provisioning, delivering and managing the network and associated services to a third party service provider or an outsourcing provider. Read the "why large projects management" section to find out about the Orange approach in this area.
