“Hélène’s deep knowledge of B2B customer needs, as well as her
expertise in digital technologies will help our customers shape
their innovation and is a perfect match with our ambition to become
a leader in a new global, data-driven ecosystem where people,
objects and business processes are all connected both inside and
outside the company. This is what we envision as the “Internet of
Enterprises,” said Helmut Reisinger, CEO, Orange Business
Services.
Bringing information technology industry expertise gained in the
US, Europe, Africa and Asia, Auriol Potier will help drive forward
the company’s growth in areas that are key to support multinational
companies in their data journey, including IoT, SD-WAN, cloud,
analytics, big data and cyberdefense. This strategy has already
delivered significant results for Orange Business Services, with
over 100 new major international customers signed up in 2018.
In cloud services and cybersecurity for example, Orange Business
Services has posted seven consecutive years of double-digit growth
globally, putting it well on the way to meeting its ambition for 50
percent of cloud revenues to come from outside France by 2022. This
has also been driven by key acquisitions in the industry, including
Basefarm, and the opening of new data centers in Amsterdam and
Atlanta.
With 60 percent of the world’s data expected to come from
enterprises in 2025 (vs 30 percent today)1, Orange Business
Services continues to transform its core service portfolio,
including network services with the development of its software
defined network (SDN)-based offerings, including Flexible SD-WAN.
That solution was recognized as Best Enterprise Service in the 2018
World Communications Awards and attracted many new customers,
including Siemens, one of the biggest SD-WAN deals ever signed.
Thanks to the Orange international focus on innovation, the
company has pioneered a co-innovation approach that facilitates
collaboration among the customer, Orange experts and partners to
deliver new ideas, test them and bring them to market. Successes
include a project where Orange and its partner Foxtrot Systems are
developing a proof of concept to optimize logistics using
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for one of its largest
European manufacturing customers. With a collaborative open
ecosystem of internal talent and partners, Orange Business Services
is poised to continue developing innovative solutions to benefit
its customers.
