An international insurance company used to procure telecoms services at a local
level and, consequently, the company was engaged in hundreds of contracts with
numerous service providers, with limited or incomplete visibility on overall costs.
To control and optimize costs, they decided to centralize procurement of their
ICT services with Orange Business Services. This approach also helped them reduce
risks and bring new products to market quickly.
Another leading insurance company recognized years ago the urgent need for change
within its organization to enable future growth. It therefore decided to move
from local IT to a global IT strategy creating synergies, replacing outdated infrastructure
and reducing fixed costs. As a result of its large projects engagement with Orange
Business Services, it managed to put IT and telecom costs under control, with
important savings realized through the convergence of voice and data communications.
A fast-moving and leading supplier of high-end equipment needed improved performance
and quality of service through an integrated telecoms & IT services approach.
Orange provided the integrated design for WAN, LAN and desktop, migrated the email
systems to a single one, improved server consolidation by almost 50% and moved
to a couple of data centers, from almost 100 sites initially.
This company, a leader in the semiconductor industry, had a critical need for
a flexible IT & communications infrastructure, to support its rapidly changing
business models required by the cyclical demand changes in this highly competitive
sector. Orange consolidated all voice services on a converged infrastructure
at 135 sites in 35 countries, under central IT control. As a consequence, economies
of scale were realized and complexity of the telecoms environment was highly reduced,
allowing the customer to strengthen its focus on its core business.
A leading tobacco manufacturer looked for a service provider to manage its communications
infrastructure, able to support its business objectives and implement industry-best
practices. Orange took over operations for the Wide Area Network globally and
designed global & standardized service levels for IP Telephony, including WAN,
LAN & Voice. Voice services will be migrated to IP Telephony in 40 initial markets,
meaning 20 000 IP phones to be rolled out.
