Orange Increases Productivity

with Oracle ERP Cloud
Orange (formerly France Telecom) is a global mobile
telecoms operator supporting 250 million customers in
220 countries across the globe. Last year, the company
embarked on a new strategy that digitizes core processes to
help refocus on customers’ needs in the new digital world.

To achieve its digital transformation strategy, Orange needed

a flexible, modern, integrated system that wouldn’t compromise
on security and stability. Oracle Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) Cloud offered all of these qualities, and more.

We have always been working with Oracle.

We did not find any other solutions on the
market which seemed to fit our needs.

Government of Botswana
Consolidated Platforms
with Oracle ERP Cloud
Government of Botswana

Botswana is a landlocked country located in

southern Africa. Formerly the British protectorate of
Bechuanaland, Botswana adopted its new name after
becoming independent within the Commonwealth on
September 30, 1966. Since then, it has maintained a
strong tradition of stable representative democracy,
with a consistent record of uninterrupted democratic
elections.

In its bid to become a society of proficient users

and innovators of ICT to propel social and economic
development, the Botswana government has instituted
an egovernment program to make available government
information and services online, thereby significantly
improving public-service delivery across all segments
of society.

With approximately 13 customer-facing Oracle applications

and databases to manage, the government of Botswana
deployed Oracle ERP Cloud to consolidate reporting
processes and connect Oracle solutions across both local
and central government.

Everything will fall into one place whereby both central government and local government
are now sitting on one platform, which is Oracle.
