Orange and AWS will work together to deliver new solutions in
the areas of modernization and migration, data analytics,
innovation and security, resulting in new products and services to
fast-track customers’ journeys to the cloud. As part of this
agreement, a dedicated Cloud Center of Excellence will be built on
AWS, coordinating joint development of an extensive training and
certification program for more than 3,000 Orange Business Services
cloud, cybersecurity, digital and data experts.
Enterprises will now have access to a one-stop-shop for all
their Orange and AWS requirements through their trusted point of
contact. Orange has deep strengths across consultancy,
cybersecurity and connectivity through to cloud native
applications. This removes multivendor complexity for Orange
customers and allows them to speed up their digital transformation
and explore future innovations that enhance cloud applications on
AWS.
As part of its ongoing plan to reinvent its operator model,
Orange has also invested heavily in cloud native skills and tools
to allow customers to take full advantage of on-demand delivery,
flexibility, and higher-level services, including resiliency and
cost optimization.
Future proofing the cloud for digital transformation
Enterprise customers can rely on Orange to standardize, scale and
optimize applications for their AWS environments to speed up
innovation cycles, reduce risks and increase efficiency.
Christope Gervais, CTO of NowCP, a customer of Orange Business
Services commented: “Thanks to Orange Business Services’ cloud
expertise, it took NowCP less than three months to migrate its
digital trading services to AWS. Our challenge is to develop and
operate with limited staff and resources. Meanwhile, we strive to
provide our members with the most innovating trading service:
highly efficient trading in a secure environment, compliant with
strict regulation. Working with Orange Business Services and AWS,
NowCP can now focus even more on driving business value. Orange
Business Services has a proven track record in implementing
DevSecOps approach, and AWS is unparalleled in terms of cloud
ecosystem. The result is outstanding; we have reduced our
infrastructure costs by 30% while delivering faster new products
and features releases.”
“We are delighted with the business opportunities this
partnership will bring to us and to our customers. This
collaboration with AWS extends our relationship, leveling up our
capabilities to simplify and accelerate customers’ cloud
transformations. Customers appreciate having a combination of our
cloud excellence to address their specific needs as well as our
global vision with local care,” said Stefan Kanis, Senior Vice
President Cloud Business Unit, Orange Business Services.
“We are excited to support Orange Business Services as they
enable customers globally and across industries to migrate and
modernize their applications to AWS,” said Doug Yeum, Head of
Global Partner Organization, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Orange
Business Services brings a unique set of capabilities across
connectivity, design, migration, security and local delivery.
Together, we offer a proven digital transformation roadmap to help
customers leverage the breadth and depth of AWS services to quickly
develop and deploy cloud native applications that are highly
secure, resilient, and performant.
Orange has also become part of the AWS Channel Reseller Program,
allowing it to resell AWS services to its customers as part of its
value-added services and solutions.
