Date: April 2020
Analyst: Amy Larsen DeCarlo
According to GlobalData, the multi-cloud efforts of Orange are paying dividends in both services innovation and revenue growth. The company’s response to customer challenges during the COVID-19 outbreak serves as a proof point of the company’s progress.
Key strengths
- Catalog depth: Through both acquisition and organic expansion, Orange Business has built out an extensive data center solution set that spans colocation to the cloud. The provider also offers a strong set of managed application services, which it has extended to include support for multi-cloud and cloud-native applications as well as SAP & SAP HANA
- Multi-cloud position: Orange Business has evolved its cloud strategy and expanded its partner roster to facilitate the effective management of hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Investments in areas including intelligent automation, AI ops, and professional development in support of third-party partner clouds are paying dividends as more organizations look for support managing workloads across disparate environments
- Cloud momentum: Orange is seeing tremendous growth in cloud, boasting more than 19% organic growth. Sources of revenue are much more geographically diverse, with more than half coming from outside of France, a big jump from prior years
- Offshore service provider: With the launch of offshore and maritime operations for ships in the seas and oceans, Orange has found a new prospect pool. The maritime IT services make Orange a more accessible global service provider through its secure, "ship-in-a-box" private cloud and IoT services
