“Siemens is a global company with offices and production sites
all over the world, and we need a reliable and future-proof
communications network. It’s a critical business enabler that has
to be agile enough to evolve with our business,” emphasized Hanna
Hennig, CIO, Siemens AG. “As a pioneer in innovation and
technology, we set the highest standards for our transformation
project. With the global capabilities, expertise and orchestration
of Orange Business Services, we were able to successfully complete
the massive deployment of Flexible SD-WAN, which delivers decisive
advantages for our business and users alike, including a
streamlined user experience with dynamic traffic routing for
applications as well as dynamic bandwidth allocation.”
Less complexity, better security and more agility
Flexible SD-WAN, leveraging Cisco technology, delivers
significant benefits for Siemens’ locations globally. By
consolidating network design and maintenance with Orange Business
Services as its digital services provider, Siemens has simplified
the management of complex environments and further improved
performance and agility. As more and more applications are hosted
in cloud environments instead of on-premise data centers, this
required a secure and flexible way for connectivity via the
Internet. SD-WAN enabled the switch from traditional access via
Virtual Private Networks to Internet-based application access.
The seamless and secure SD-WAN coverage provides the foundation
for a flexible Siemens security framework. This approach further
increased Siemens’ abilities to effectively mitigate, detect and
respond to risks.
"We are so pleased that Siemens chose Orange Business Services
to be its trusted partner. Deploying, migrating and implementing
this huge digital transformation project for Siemens and managing
their critical global communications infrastructure underlines our
end-to-end integrator expertise in delivering large-scale global
projects. We have delivered on Siemens' objectives by combining
SD-WAN technology with cloud-based services and solutions,”
commented Aliette Mousnier-Lompre, Interim CEO at Orange Business
Services.
