Orange Business Services received Best Managed Service and Best Project Management awards at World Communication Awards 2010
Paris, Nov. 30, 2010
Orange Business Services was awarded two of the telecom industry’s highest accolades at Wednesday night’s annual World Communication Awards (WCA) held in London. Orange Business Services received the Best Managed Service and Best Project Management awards.
"Best Managed Service" recognizes the leading market position of our Business VPN managed network service. "A very impressive international managed network for scope, quality & customer base;” "very impressive customer wins in the past year;” "from the perspective of enterprise managed services, they have a leadership position," said the WCA judges.
"Best Project Management" celebrates the success of the Hermes II project for the Belgium Federal Public Service of Foreign Affairs, providing value added services through a full redundant setup of WAN and LAN services ranging from firewalls, routers, WAN optimization and encryption devices, spanning 100 countries. "Orange Business Services was a runaway winner in this category;” "an excellent example of challenging project executed well and quickly," commented the WCA judges.
Jorg Leenaards, ICT Director of the Belgium Federal Public Service of Foreign Affairs, commented: “This award for Best Project Management is truly deserved. It represents another confirmation that the public tender award towards Orange was based on the right criteria. Since it takes two to tango, I also consider it a recognition for the way the project was run on our side and a fine example on how a well managed project quickly turns into a win-win situation for both parties.”
“Orange Business Services produced two of the best-received entries in this year’s awards,” said David Molony, Principal Analyst at Ovum and WCA Chair of Judges. “Hermes II project is a brilliant example of how to manage a complex international project. No fewer than eight [of 17] judges gave it their top mark. Business VPN continues to prove itself again and again as a lead international VPN service.”
Celebrating 12 years of corporate and personal success in global communications, the World
Communication Awards, recognizes significant achievements and developments in the global telecoms industry.
Vivek Badrinath, CEO, Orange Business Services, commented, “It is truly an honor for Orange Business Services to be recognized at the prestigious 2010 World Communications Awards. Winning these awards encourages us to serve our customers with continued dedication and passion. These awards go to our employees all around the world that work tirelessly to ensure an outstanding customer experience.”
