Challenge
Mondelēz had used a very complex and disparate ecosystem of partners and vendors. Each had its unique technologies deployed in all regions. The multinational wanted to eliminate the complexity and consolidate its communications to a single platform supported by a reliable partner. Mondelēz chose Orange Business to manage this considerable transformation and consolidation project for its global outreach, credibility in the marketplace and strong project management capabilities. In addition, Orange Business has a deep, long-standing partnership with Microsoft.
As part of a multi-year partnership, Orange Business was ready to support this challenge.
A major global communications transformation
Over 18 months, more than 75 Orange consultants worked on the project, addressing three key areas: voice, video and contact center. The Mondelēz, Microsoft and Orange Business teams worked closely together on the project from the beginning to carefully manage change.
This transformation was achieved using three initiatives. Walk-in and take-over of the multinational’s existing communications operations from the incumbent for Teams, Teams Phone for enterprise voice and associated services. This included changing legacy PBX sites to Teams Phone for calling and management under unified global operations support provided by Orange Business, followed by the transition and transformation stage, where users were brought on board.
The transformation has simplified communications and collaboration management, including:
- Providing a single point of contact and streamlined vendor management
- Standardizing the infrastructure and communication devices
- Providing rapid service scalability to support Mondelēz’s strategy for growth and expansion by acquisition
- Enabling access to a broad ecosystem of services under one roof
- Moving from a hybrid and complex mix of on-premises and cloud environments to being cloud-first and cloud-only
Business Outcomes
Owing to its global footprint and scale, Orange Business has demonstrated its suitability to partner with Mondelēz. Apart from a global footprint, Orange Business expertise in transforming calling to Microsoft Teams Phone, coupled with the ability to provide a robust and secure end-to-end service, played a vital role in cementing this partnership.
Key benefits delivered in this partnership include:
- Simpler IT vendor ecosystem across global voice network infrastructure and managed Teams Phone service
- Cutting-edge analytics, monitoring and success management capabilities to proactively monitor the Teams environment, diagnose problems and rapidly correct issues before they impact end users
- Co-innovation opportunities and the best employee experience possible
- Advanced security and vulnerability management tools to ensure the multinational’s highly secure business environment
- Live feeds on usage patterns to enable Mondelēz to reduce costs significantly, adding and removing features as required
- Optimized and simplified IT support, enhancing the user experience and increasing productivity
- Increased user experience ratings: from 3.7 out of 5 to almost 4.9 out of 5
