Orange Business Services has launched a comprehensive global Cisco TelePresence service, based on the market-leading Cisco platform.

Cisco TelePresence is a virtual meeting solution that transforms the way organizations do business. It creates unique, ``in-person`` experiences allowing real-time, face-to-face communication over a converged IP network.

As such, effective collaboration can be conducted in a global business environment, facilitating faster decision making, better cross-cultural communications, responsiveness to customers and business continuity, all increasing our customers` competitiveness.

Customers can also better scale scarce resources and reduce their travel which has a dramatic impact in reducing business costs, as well as their carbon footprint in an environmentally-conscious world.

- Professional services: consultancy, design, & project management;

- Deployment services: equipment resale, logistics, & installation;
