new Customized Infrastructure Care 2.0 solution manages and monitors third-party
networks and wider range of equipment and devices
Orange Business Services is enhancing its
Customized
Infrastructure Care solution
to provide a full range of infrastructure monitoring, control and support capabilities
across a multi-vendor, multi-technology ICT environment. Customized Infrastructure
Care 2.0 from Orange Business Services provides enterprises the unique ability
to monitor, control and support their entire infrastructure through a single cloud-based
dashboard based on a platform based on technology from
ServiceNow, a pioneer in
offering IT management software as a service.
three main business benefits
Aligned with IT Infrastructure Library® (ITIL) best practices and supported by
ISO 20000 certified teams, the enhanced version of Customized Infrastructure Care
provides three main business benefits:
- increased visibility and control of the ICT environment – Enterprises benefit
from global monitoring, control and support of a wider range of equipment and
capabilities including Orange, customer and third party-provided networks and
equipment;
- lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for ICT management – TCO efficiencies are
gained from economies of scale, a predictable opex pricing per device per month
and a single point of contact for all account and service issues and one service
desk for all incidents and requests. In addition, companies only need to train
on and maintain one ICT infrastructure management system; and
- improved performance – Customers are looking for ways to make global infrastructure
management easier. Enhanced performance monitoring enables proactive capacity
management, minimizes potential issues and results in higher up times and faster
restore times.
Pierre Gleize, Head of Global Service Management Practice, Orange Business Service,
said: “Customized Infrastructure Care 2.0 is unique on the market because it allows
us to monitor third-party solutions for our customers. We already have several
customers taking advantage of the business benefits of this cloud-based IT management
solution. Because our customers’ IT staff can be redeployed away from support
and maintenance issues, they can focus on strategic projects to help align IT
with the company’s key business objectives.”
