Brad Lewis speaks to us about how crucial integration services are for large companies. Big projects are underpinned by integration services, whether that is staging, managing suppliers, design, deploy, shipping, maintenance and support. Even simply buying equipment can be a challenge, as many countries have stringent import tax regimes, which can be as high as 70%, and Orange can help here with a global deployment strategy. Brad also explains how Orange's maintenance services are aligned to ITIL.
The increasing variety of new technologies are posing an ever greater challenge for multinationals looking to deploy and manage them efficiently. Marc Monnard says that the key to success is service management and better integration between supplier and customer. He tells is that Orange is already striving towards this goal by integrating its support services with its customers to create a global virtual support organisation that allows trouble tickets to be exchanged between the two entities.
Rob Hodgkinson, Outsourcing Practice Director at Orange Business Services, says that companies are moving away from outsourcing mega-contracts towards a selective outsourcing model.
