Orange Business Services has been placed in the leaders quadrant in Gartner Inc.’s Magic Quadrant for Pan-European Network Service Providers, 20071.

The report defines “leaders” as vendors who have ”a full portfolio of voice and data services, including relatively new offerings in areas such as application-aware networking, WAN optimization and hosted communications applications. These services will be delivered with good quality across a wide area of coverage at competitive prices by account teams that are typically closer to the customer. Leaders have a strong vision of the market and their role in it, and they will typically be able to address a wider range of customers (in terms of size, geography and service requirements) with their service offerings than others in this Magic Quadrant.”

Barbara Dalibard, president and CEO, Orange Business Services, said:  “We are delighted to be positioned in the Leaders Quadrant, which demonstrates that we are setting the standards for the industry.”
