Orange Business Services Helps Enterprises Benefit from IoT and Big Data With the International Launch of Datavenue
Orange Business Services (News - Alert) has announced the worldwide launch of Datavenue,
its innovative internet of things (IoT) and data analytics modular offer.
Datavenue will help multinational and large national corporations seize
the endless opportunities offered by the IoT revolution. Already 56
percent of decision makers consider IoT as strategic1. Use
cases include improving safety and user experience within smart cities
by connecting street lights or parking meters, as well as improving
quality of life by connecting medical devices to monitor a person's
health remotely.
With Datavenue, Orange Business Services gathers its long-standing
expertise supported by 700 IoT and analytics experts worldwide, as well
as data scientists, developers, consultants, statisticians and IoT
security experts. Datavenue includes four modules:
-
Select relevant objects and sources of data. Orange offers a
full range of certified and tested connected objects, such as sensors,
cameras or modules to connect existing assets. Datavenue has a catalog
of data that includes population movement analytics using anonymized
data from mobile networks.
-
Connect objects reliably with the most suitable and
secured networks. A truck travelling cross borders or an agricultural
sensor in a field would require different networks. To adapt to the
wide diversity of needs, Orange provides a broad range of connectivity
options. These include future-proof global cellular networks and
innovative capabilities, such as eUiCC, worldwide fixed and satellite
networks, as well as low-power solutions, such as LoRaTM.
-
Manage data to improve efficiencies and create enhanced
services. For example, a construction company can monitor cranes
worldwide to prevent problems and reduce maintenance costs. Managing
data in real-time enables technicians to solve issues remotely or to
arrive on site with the right material, thereby reducing service
interruptions. Orange offers both cloud-based and on-premises software
solutions, encompassing remote device management, processing and
visualization.
-
Control key elements of enterprise transformation
projects. Orange experts ensure end-to-end security and
data protection, integration with information systems and service
scalability. Throughout the entire project and beyond, customers can
rely on Orange to ensure the solutions are future-proof and adapted to
market evolutions.
"We have developed extensive vertical expertise around IoT and data
analytics in several sectors, including automotive, industry, smart
cities, healthcare and smart homes. Our solutions have already improved
performance and employee safety through industrial machinery monitoring,
enhanced patient care with remote assistance, and enriched citizen
well-being with smart city services. This is now all being brought
together to support the international launch of Orange Datavenue," says
Olivier Ondet, IoT and analytics vice president, Orange Business
Services.
Datavenue was first launched in France in 2015. Orange today operates
more than 10 million active B2B objects and processes 65 million items
of technical data per minute - all fully compliant with data protection
regulations.
Orange has recently been positioned in the "Leaders" quadrant of the
Gartner (News - Alert) October 2016 Magic Quadrant for Managed M2M Services2.
Gartner evaluated 17 global M2M providers on their ability to execute
and completeness of vision using 15 criteria. In this year's Magic
Quadrant, Orange improved its position from a Visionary to a Leader.
According to Gartner: "Leaders invest in the future of IoT that includes
a continuum of value from IoT edge devices to IoT platforms and related
analytics. Leaders perform skillfully and often exceed expectations.
Leaders have a clear vision of the market's direction and develop
competencies to maintain their leadership. Leaders engage customers and
provide value across multiple geographies. They shape the market, rather
than follow it, and they often set the benchmark for market growth." The
