Orange Business announces the migration of 70% of its IT infrastructure to Bleu

• This IT infrastructure migration strengthens security, sovereignty, and innovation
• Orange Business reinforces its commitment to support its clients and partners in their transition to a trusted cloud

Orange Business is taking a key step in its transformation by announcing the migration of its IT infrastructure to Bleu.  Bleu, owned by Capgemini and Orange, aims to provide Microsoft services in a “trusted cloud” to meet the specific needs of government and critical sectors.

In a context where digitalization and sovereignty are major strategic challenges, this project goes beyond a simple technical operation. It is part of a strategic vision aimed at modernizing all our IT systems, integrating more innovation, simplicity, and flexibility, while strengthening the security and sovereignty of our data.

After a thorough analysis of over 400 applications and considering the sensitivity of the data, we chose to adopt a hybrid cloud strategy. For the most sensitive environments, some of our applications and data are migrating to Cloud Avenue, our Private Cloud solution, while others are moving to Bleu, which offers advanced features of Public Cloud. Bleu is currently undergoing SecNumCloud 3.2 qualification (Europe’s strictest security standard) and has already achieved Milestone 1. This approach demonstrates our commitment to adhering to the highest standards of security, sovereignty, and compliance.

Beyond the migration, this initiative further reflects our commitment to support our clients in their own digital transformation journeys.

This migration to Bleu strengthens our expertise and our commitment to support our clients in their own transition to a sovereign cloud. With this unique experience, we will help our clients achieve a faster and smoother operational transition by applying the same level of rigor. We also encourage our partners, including software developers, to engage in this approach. Our goal is to create a trusted ecosystem, strengthening our digital sovereignty.

Aliette Mousnier-Lompré, CEO of Orange Business, declared: “Our migration to Bleu reflects our commitment to strengthening control over our critical applications while staying at the forefront of technological advancements in the market. We firmly believe that Bleu is today’s most suitable solution to combine performance, innovation, and data protection. For our clients, this means a guarantee that their entrusted data will be rigorously protected, and that they will also benefit from our proven expertise in implementing hybrid cloud projects that integrate Bleu, public cloud, and private cloud—helping them optimize timelines and minimize risks”.

Jean Coumaros, President of Bleu, stated: “We are very proud that Orange Business, a leading player in network integration and digital solutions, has chosen our cloud as part of their IT modernization strategy. Our teams are fully committed to supporting Orange Business goal of staying at the forefront of innovation in a trusted environment”.
