Christope Gervais, CTO of NowCP, a customer of Orange Business Services commented: “Thanks to Orange Business Services’ cloud expertise, it took NowCP less than three months to migrate its digital trading services to AWS. Our challenge is to develop and operate with limited staff and resources.

Working with Orange Business Services and AWS, NowCP can now focus even more on driving business value. Orange Business Services has a proven track record in implementing DevSecOps approach, and AWS is unparalleled in terms of cloud ecosystem. The result is outstanding; we have reduced our infrastructure costs by 30% while delivering faster new products and features releases.”

This collaboration with AWS extends our relationship, leveling up our capabilities to simplify and accelerate customers’ cloud transformations.
