new Customized Infrastructure Care 2.0 solution manages and monitors third-party networks and wider range of equipment and devices
Orange Business 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 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.”
