also support the growth of Polynt’s international operations and
serve as a platform for future unified communications
technologies.

The new infrastructure will help Polynt, based in Bergamo,
Italy, drive innovation inside the organization and take full
advantage of further digitalization. It will connect 44 sites in 15
countries across four continents, including North and Latin
America, Europe and Asia. Other benefits include increased network
performance with redundancy and high resiliency. By consolidating
network design and maintenance with one single provider, Polynt
will reduce complexity and strengthen application performance and
agility.
Enterprise Application ManagementOrange Business Services will
also provide Enterprise Application Management with Riverbed, a
fully-managed service that delivers application acceleration and
WAN optimization. This will significantly improve the end-user
experience of using enterprise applications by accelerating
response times. It also will give Polynt more visibility on the
network and applications and allow it to use data centers more
effectively.
“We are pleased to have been chosen by Polynt as their preferred
partner for their digital transformation, building on our excellent
long-term relationship and continuously providing an outstanding
customer experience. By combining highly resilient and redundant
global services and coverage with our capability to deliver
consistent solutions globally with a local touch, we are excited to
support Polynt’s global growth in the years to come,” said Fabrice
de Windt, senior vice president, Europe, Orange Business
Services.
“Developing a Global WAN with Orange Business Services will
allow us to gain central control over our global IT infrastructure
and to simplify contract management, making it easier to accelerate
integration of new acquisitions to support our global expansion.
Being able to operate a consistent technology in every site is the
first step towards aligning our corporate culture everywhere in the
world: Orange was the ideal partner in this pursuit, since its
global footprint matches our own,” said Annamaria Codari, Global IT
Director at Polynt.
