Orange unveils mobile data roaming portfolio for multinational corporations

• Market leading solution makes international mobile data simple to use and affordable for MNCs, letting travelling employees easily stay in touch via their laptops and email handsets

Orange today launches “Travel Data for multinationals,” a new portfolio of mobile data roaming offers specifically designed to help multinational corporations (MNCs) reduce and manage costs. Available to both new and existing MNC customers, four new data roaming bundles provide clear and predictable pricing to make it easier and more cost effective for MNCs to keep their international workforce productive and connected while on the move.

The new portfolio allows Orange to provide customers with an international mobile data solution that is tailored to a customer’s individual employee needs, travel profile and business requirements. It provides businesses with the peace of mind that their workforce can stay connected, while keeping costs under control.

The solution portfolio is available now for customers in the UK, France, Belgium, Poland, Spain, and Switzerland and includes:

• Travel Data Monthly Europe – a monthly 100MB bundle for laptop users who travel frequently in Europe
• Travel Data Monthly Worldwide – a monthly 100MB bundle for laptop users who travel frequently both in Europe and beyond
• Travel Data Daily Europe – a daily 50MB bundle for laptop users who travel occasionally in Europe
• Travel Data Email – a monthly 10MB bundle for email device users who travel frequently in Europe and beyond.

Key benefits:

• Affordable data roaming allows employees to stay productive and connected to customers and colleagues wherever they need to do business – not just hotspots or hotels
• Simple to set up – harmonised solution across multiple Orange countries means IT teams can negotiate, purchase and manage the solution centrally
• Predictable and controllable costs with central visibility – no more international data communication costs hidden in employee expenses
• Flexible packages, tailored to each company’s users and travel patterns
• Easy to understand and use for staff and IT teams

“For MNCs in particular, maintaining a mobile workforce is a necessity. Our new portfolio cuts through the confusion associated with earlier data roaming offers. The packages are simple to understand and designed with flexibility in mind. Individuals can change them monthly, based on anticipated travel or usage, and MNCs can be assured that we can help their workforce stay agile and mobile in the most cost effective way possible,” said Jacques Demaël, Executive Vice President of Enterprise Line of Business, Orange Business Services.
