Siemens AG, a global electrical engineering company, has extended its contract with Orange Business Services for a global "Siemens Digitalization Network" (SDN), built on an SD-WAN infrastructure, connecting 1,500 locations in 94 countries. Increasing the performance of its communication infrastructure will allow Siemens to take full advantage of the additional digitization to improve its Industry 4.0 processes.
 
Under this new six-year contract worth €240 million, Orange Business Services will migrate all of Siemens' global infrastructure to a dynamic and flexible SD-WAN network that will connect cloud applications as well as IoT (Internet of Stuff). Consolidating network design and maintenance with a single vendor will reduce complexity and strengthen application performance and agility.

"We chose Orange Business Services because we see them as one of the premier partners that have the ability to offer unparalleled worldwide SD-WAN coverage with the highest level of security standards - especially to protect against internet threats by providing quality service, local support and an attractive cost-performance ratio. We were also impressed with the flexibility and level of service that Orange Business Services has been providing as a trusted partner to Siemens in recent years."
 
Demands on Siemens' WAN have increased with virtual teams and remote workers collaborating on global projects. Orange Business Services meets Siemens' needs by combining SD-WAN technology with cloud and web-based services and solutions. With a single point of contact service and local presence in 166 countries, Orange Business Services provides Siemens with managed network solutions in the 94 countries in which the company operates. This builds on the long-standing cooperation and governance established at Siemens' worldwide divisions and at headquarters in Munich.
