value-added reseller relies on Orange
for geographic reach and global integration services expertise to deliver Cisco
Telepresence to end users
Orange Business Services has enhanced a three-year agreement with INX Inc. (NASDAQ:INXI),
a reseller of U.S.-based IP communications solutions for enterprise organizations.
INX has turned to Orange to support the global Telepresence needs of its end users
for field service and maintenance support, as well as equipment procurement.
INX, a certified Cisco Authorized Technology Provider in the U.S., needed a global
provider who could support its customers at their diverse locations around the
world. Orange Business Services has a local presence in 166 countries and territories
worldwide and operates the world’s largest network optimized for Telepresence,
covering 42 countries in six continents. Through its partners and indirect channels
arm, Orange is able to deliver the full range of its solution portfolio to a variety
of end users through reseller agreements.
With a strong presence in the U.S., INX counts many oil and energy companies
among its customers. Multinational companies, such as those in the oil industry,
are increasingly looking at Telepresence to increase employee productivity and
collaboration. By reducing travel to farflung locations, yet holding remote meetings
as if employees were face to face, companies can drive down travel costs and save
time.
“Orange Business Services enables us to expand our coverage with our clients.
Our clients wanted global Telepresence solutions, and we turned to Orange because
they could offer harmonized support worldwide and deliver high quality solutions,”
said Doug Hancock, Regional Director at INX. “With the support of Orange, we are
thrilled to provide reliable one-stop-shop Telepresence services to our end users.”
