TeliaSonera also has a partnership agreement with Orange within the mobile communications area through FreeMove, the international mobile alliance between Orange, TeliaSonera, TIM (Telecom Italia Group) and T-Mobile.

TeliaSonera's and Orange Business Services' common ambition are to be a long-term strategic resource for its customers. The solutions are designed to be scalable with customer needs as well as to help expand and support clients' business operations and improve efficiency.

Through this contract we are looking forward to provide TeliaSonera's international customers a truly global converged service offering," says Philippe Koebel, Senior Vice President EMEA, Orange Business Services.

Through a one-stop shopping and single-point of responsibility setup, the aim is to reduce complexity, simplify customer contact and make it easier for Nordic and Baltic customers with international requirements to buy services and manage their communications needs. With convergence services it is getting more important to have a single supplier for both voice and data.
