confirms market leadership in customer satisfaction, innovative cloud-based solution and global service performance
Orange Business was awarded three of the telecom industry’s highest accolades at Tuesday night’s annual World Communication Awards (WCA) held in London – Best Global Operator, Best Cloud Service and the User’s Choice Award.
Tony Lavender, CEO at Plum Consulting and WCA Chair of Judges, said, “Orange Business Services submitted several impressive entries this year and they were worthy of their success in this year’s World Communications Awards. The judges praised the strong customer testimonials that were evident across all of the entries this year.”
The Best Global Operator recognition highlights the rich heritage of Orange Business providing an unmatched value proposition to its customers. Its coverage, network performance, customer experience and loyalty, and innovation are competitive differentiators. With local expertise in 166 countries and a cloud-ready network reaching 220 countries and territories, Orange Business delivers market-leading solutions on a global basis.
Business Together as a Service, a cloud-based global unified collaboration solution from Orange Business, was named Best Cloud Service. Business Together as a Service allows unified collaboration via the cloud using an “as a service” model that lets customers quickly and cost-effectively access communication and collaboration tools anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Orange Business won the User's Choice Award based on extensive end user research carried out by Total Telecom in conjunction with Ocean82. Orange Business received the highest customer satisfaction index from an assessment of survey responses that measured levels of satisfaction with the product, value for money and the levels of customer support received in the last twelve months.
Vivek Badrinath, CEO, Orange Business, said: “Winning Best Global Operator, Best Cloud Service and the User’s Choice Award at the World Communication Awards is a strong testimony to the unwavering dedication of the Orange Business team to provide world-class service to our customers. Our goal is to deliver real value to multinationals as an ICT partner that they can trust.
