Business Wire
Orange Business Services, a leading global integrated
communications service provider, has won a contract renewal with
MAF-Carrefour Hypermarkets, one of the most prominent names in the
Middle East retailing sector and an Orange Business Services
customer for network infrastructure and ICT solutions since 2008.
The 3-year, multimillion dollar contract extends the international
network services agreement provided by Orange and adds new
dimensions, including the management of domestic WANs in some
countries, starting in the UAE.
The additional managed services provided by Orange Business
Services will allow MAF-Carrefour to focus more on its core
business operations. Orange is also providing consultancy services
in addition to international connectivity covering 72 sites across
13 countries in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) and Caucasus
region.
Mr. Ahmad Baghat, Network and Telecom Manager of MAF-Carrefour
in the region, said: “We have a long working relationship with
Orange Business Services across the region and there is a strong
and proven track record of collaboration between us. This has given
us enough confidence and trust in the capability and reliability of
Orange that we have outsourced some important elements of our
network and IT services. One of the ways that Orange works with us
as a partner is through customized in-house Orange service desks at
MAF-Carrefour offices, which gives us the ability to deliver
evolving and flexible services to our internal customers.”
Orange Business Services has 2,000 people working on the B2B
market in the Middle East and Africa and has a clear focus on
network and managed services, cloud-based services through its own
cloud VPN, and consulting expertise. The MEA regional business
operates across more than 80 countries from the regional
headquarters in Dubai Internet City, UAE, and supports more than
500 multinational clients, including 200 clients in the UAE and 100
banks.
Mr Jean-Luc Lasnier, VP and General Manager of Orange Business
Services Middle East & Africa, added: “MAF-Carrefour is a blue
chip name in the regional retail sector and has been a long-term
key strategic customer, so we are delighted to sign this expanded
agreement. We were able to use our substantial experience and
strong relationships – from the network team to the senior
leadership team – to counsel MAF-Carrefour on its international
connectivity and we brought new consultancy services and managed
services to the table that will ensure that MAF-Carrefour will have
reliable and secure international and domestic network connectivity
for all of its sites as the business continues to expand.”
