Through this program the Group aims to leverage its best practices and  experience in markets across the world to provide telecommunications  operators located outside its footprint with the means to stimulate  growth and address key challenges in their domestic markets. To achieve  this, Orange will provide tailor-made services and support, and will  offer access to Orange Group products, services and procurement  activities as well as international roaming.

Orange Alliance: leveraging the Group's international presence and expertise

With  operations in more than 30 countries, including in Europe, Africa and  the Middle East, Orange has developed the know-how and proficiency  required to adapt to diverse ecosystems. This has resulted in specific  product portfolios, systems and organizations that have been  proof-tested in highly competitive markets.

Through Orange  Alliance, operators benefit from a rapid means of gaining the know-how  and experience necessary to effectively meet the specific challenges  presented by their markets. The program, which covers a broad range of  services, provides partners with the resources to act independently  while benefiting from the support of an international Group. Based on a  catalogue of services, best practices and expertise, operators can build  their own program according to their particular requirements. This  modular approach covers:

  • Innovation, procurement of service platforms, marketing and pricing support
  • Sourcing of handsets and customer equipment
  • Human resources: access to the management and leadership development  program and other training programs developed by Orange
  • Roaming: access to international roaming solutions and support for agreements
  • This catalogue can be reinforced with specific consultancy missions

The  program has already attracted considerable interest among operators.  Both Vini, a French Polynesia-based operator, and ZonOptimus, a  Portuguese operator, have signed up to Orange Alliance services. Further  partners from other countries are currently in talks and expected to  join the community in the coming months.

"Through the Orange  Alliance program, we hope to support the growth of third-party operators  by providing them with access to high-value services based on the  Group's extensive experience and know-how as one of the world's largest  telecoms operators," said Élie Girard, Senior Executive Vice President  of Strategy & Development at Orange. "As it grows, the program will  form a community of operators that will benefit our development strategy  and increase the visibility of Orange across the world."
