Operating over 250 Carrefour stores in the region, Majid Al
Futtaim Retail recognized the need for a new type of connectivity
to provide robust, reliable networking for its retail sites, with
end-users across 15 countries.
The managed SD-WAN solution from Orange will enable Majid Al
Futtaim Retail to strengthen its omnichannel strategy, designed to
provide a seamless shopper experience. It will also support its
launch of Carrefour’s online e-commerce offering that it is
gradually rolling out across the countries in which it
operates.
The company’s wide area network makes it ideal for an SD-WAN
deployment that will bring benefits in terms of intelligence and
the ability to scale quickly to support their smart retail
applications, such as SAP for its e-commerce platform. Majid Al
Futtaim already has 7.5 million unique registered customers in the
UAE alone, all of whom expect the connectivity to give them the
experience they demand.
“Connectivity is key to the future of retail. Our customers
expect a seamless next-generation retail offering that leverages
data to improve their experience – and we need a state-of-the-art
fully secured network to deliver it. Flexible SD-WAN by Orange is a
key enabler of our omnichannel customer experience,” said Marco
Urios, senior vice president, Omnichannel Solutions at Majid Al
Futtaim Retail.
“Majid Al Futtaim has a clear vision and ambitious strategy, and
Orange Business Services is delighted to be working with them on
their retail digital transformation program. With our deep
consulting capabilities and our expertise with SD-WAN solutions, we
are well placed to serve as their trusted partner. Orange has
extensive SD-WAN experience around the world, but Majid Al Futtaim
is our first customer in the Middle East region to roll this out,”
said Luc Serviant, vice president, Middle East, Orange Business
Services.

automated, intelligent network with on-demand virtualized services,
centrally orchestrated for end-to-end performance and control. It
