Orange Business boosts digital ambitions with Expertime acquisition | Computer Weekly
Summary
With a team of 165 employees – predominantly based in France – it has gained the highest certification levels on Microsoft technologies and solutions in public cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) and data. “Aligning our visions on how to meet our customers’ specific business needs was a natural step in bringing us together,” remarked Expertime general manager Philippe Luzet. “We are delighted with this operation, which delivers a true synergy between our know-how and will result in a complete value proposition for our clients and partners.” In November, recently installed Orange Business CEO Aliette Mousnier-Lompre noted that technology innovation was accelerating in its market, with cloud and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) creating new opportunities for customers, which came with a commensurate rise and change in expectations. To achieve this, Mousnier-Lompre said the company had four strategic priorities – to focus on its portfolio, transform and leverage its core business, accelerate digital services and simplify its operating model and save costs. We are convinced that their skills and experience will be a major asset and enable us to continue helping businesses make the most of the current opportunities within cloud, AI and data, to roll out their digital transformation.”
