Orange Business to Offer Microsoft UC

PARIS -- Orange Business Services continues to invest in delivering unified communications solutions to customers by expanding its global consulting and integration services. Whether integrated with IP telephony or as a stand-alone Microsoft solution, Orange provides customers with:

  • consulting services: Orange Business Services will assess business and technical requirements in order to design and implement Microsoft-based unified communications solutions.

  • integration services: We can integrate Microsoft-based unified communication solutions within the customer’s IT and real-time services such as enterprise telephony, mobility, voice, video and conferencing.

Key business benefits of Microsoft-based unified communications solutions include: greater collaboration within and outside the company, reduced voice costs, cost-per-user pricing with no capital investment, reduced travel, and improved workflow resulting in increased worker productivity. Orange can adapt the solution to a company’s unique requirements whether integrating on premise or managed and hosted in our data center, with unified communications as a service or a hybrid solution.

Companies can leverage Orange consulting expertise to design and implement Microsoft unified communications, including Microsoft Enterprise Voice and Conferencing based on Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007. This reduces the risk of a complex voice deployment, providing guidance on the best scenario to achieve the customer’s requirements. Orange is also working with Microsoft to test, validate and integrate Microsoft Office Communications Server Enterprise Voice with Business Talk Global, a global voice VPN service.

“Orange Business Services provide an impressive combination of messaging, IP voice and mobility expertise,” said Betsy Frost, general manager Microsoft Unified Communications Marketing, Microsoft Corp. “When combined with their global network reach, flexible hosting capabilities and Microsoft Gold Partner status, this represents significant value for large enterprises wanting to implement unified communications.”
