Orange Business expertise in managed hybrid cloud services validated by latest analyst report and customer win

Leading analyst GlobalData has recently ranked Orange Business as “very strong” in its latest managed hybrid cloud services product assessment report. The ranking covers services, innovation and revenue growth and underlines our evolving cloud strategy’s success.

As evidence, Amcor, a leading global packaging company, has extended its agreement with Orange to provide a global, end-to-end managed hybrid cloud solution. This includes updating Amcor’s existing data center environment by integrating some of its legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) workloads with a SAP Hana solution and relevant workloads.

GlobalData has also brought into the spotlight our growing partner ecosystem in the report. We see cloud as an ecosystem play, engaging startups and large global players like AWS, Google and Microsoft. This ecosystem is strengthening our appeal to enterprises by offering them effective management for hybrid and multicloud environments.

We have built an extensive managed services portfolio through organic expansion and acquisition, including Basefarm and The unbelievable Machine Company. Our managed application services extend to support multicloud and cloud-native applications together with SAP and SAP HANA. It encompasses professional and managed services to guide customers smoothly through their digital transformation journey.

GlobalData’s findings also show that our investment in intelligent automation, AIOps and professional development in support of third-party partner clouds is bringing results. These services help organizations that want to manage workloads across diverse environments.

Organizations are increasingly acknowledging our cloud expertise to provide them with greater business agility, scalability, security and application availability. At the same time, we can also help them simplify operations and better balance workloads in the cloud, as proven by the Amcor case. The trusted relationship we’ve established over the years with global customers now leads us to deliver even more business value.
