Dubai: Orange Business Services, a network-native digital services company, has announced the opening of a second office in the UAE, Orange Business Services International Limited in Abu Dhabi.

The new office will work in cooperation with the Middle East and Africa regional headquarters in Dubai.

The Abu Dhabi office will support the full range of global services and solutions from Orange Business Services, and especially those relevant to smart cities, in support of the Abu Dhabi Vision 2030 strategy.

Orange Business Services currently supports public sector authorities with a co-innovation programme to enhance smart city management services and support the continued digital transformation of the Abu Dhabi economy.

In February 2020, Orange Business Services and Abu Dhabi Municipality announced a new smart cities virtualisation app to enhance the city management services delivered in Abu Dhabi. The app, ‘IoT Cockpit’, provides visualisation via an interactive user interface for the city authorities monitoring elements of the urban landscape.

Sahem Azzam, Vice President, Middle East & Africa, Orange Business Services, said: “Abu Dhabi is a key strategic market for Orange Business Services within the UAE and the Middle East. We are shaping our strategy and organisation to respond to the scale of Abu Dhabi’s visionary leadership and ambition, by supporting the public and private sectors, as they face the complexities and opportunities of digital transformation and the need for innovation and new business models. Ultimately, we aim to be the preferred digital services provider in the region.”
