Leading European Wireless Company Joins Cingular's WorldView
Program to Provide Consolidated Services to Multinational Customers
ATLANTA, Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Cingular Wireless and Orange SA
will provide consolidated mobile services to multinational
companies in the U.S. and Europe under Cingular's WorldView
program, the two companies announced today. Cingular and Orange
customers with operations in the U.S., Great Britain, France,
Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland now can access and manage
their combined Cingular and Orange wireless usage and expenditures
through a secure online portal, called WorldView Wireless
Information Navigator, which is available exclusively to WorldView
customers. In addition to this combined domestic/international
management capability, Cingular customers who are signed up under
Cingular's flagship business offer, Cingular Corporate Digital
Advantage (CCDA), can now also apply their wireless usage with
Orange to their minimum usage commitment under CCDA to qualify for
volume discounts with the WorldView Global Discount Program.
"Cingular's new and valued relationship with Orange gives us an
even greater capability to serve the needs of our multinational
customers given Orange's significant presence in Europe," said Joe
Lueckenhoff, Vice President, Business Mobility and Marketing, for
Cingular Wireless. "Cingular provides wireless services to a
world-class roster of clients, including 95 of the Fortune 100
companies and more than 80 percent of the Fortune 500. Many of them
conduct operations in countries served by Orange. This alliance
gives these customers much greater cost and administrative
efficiencies by consolidating their domestic and international
wireless usage and managing it through a single, centralized
process." Cingular and Orange account representatives also will
collaborate to provide a consolidated response to customers'
trans-Atlantic purchase requests and major bids. This single point
of contact approach will allow customers to cut down on the costs
and time spent working with multiple suppliers while making it
easier for them to implement global procurement and technology
policies. "Multinational companies tell us that procurement and
leveraging economies of scale are two of their biggest headaches,"
says Philippe Bernard, Executive Vice President, Orange Business
Solutions. "Our reciprocal arrangement with Cingular via the
Worldview program eases that pain. By providing our multinational
customers with the right services, tools and support we can help
our customers do business better, and more efficiently.
Furthermore, we believe this arrangement further strengthens our
competitive position and underlines our commitment to deliver to
businesses." Cingular WorldView is a coordinated, easy-to-use
international wireless program. It helps multinational companies
simplify global wireless purchasing, coordinate service in multiple
countries, take advantage of Cingular's relationships with carriers
abroad to get attractive rates, and coordinate domestic and
international account management while enabling them to satisfy
their Cingular wireless usage commitment more easily. In addition
to its relationship with Orange, Cingular also has alliances for
its WorldView program with other carriers serving such countries as
Austria, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy and
Switzerland. Cingular also provides significant international
wireless coverage for its U.S. customers via roaming agreements
with Orange and other carriers in more than 170 countries for voice
and over 90 countries for data. About Cingular Wireless Cingular
