Orange Business itself traces its lineage to Equant and Global One before being formally established on 1 June 2006, and was renamed from Orange Business Services to Orange Business on 16 February 2023; Frédéric Schepens serves as CEO (appointed July 2024), leading approximately 30,000 employees. Orange S.A.’s own H1 2026 results, reported by CEO Christel Heydemann and CFO Laurent Martinez, describe ‘record H1 2026 results’ at the Group level - revenue of €20.9 billion (up 3.5% year-on-year) and EBITDAaL of €6.1 billion (up 5.0%) - driven substantially by retail services and exceptional growth in Africa and the Middle East. One specific finding is worth being upfront about: Orange’s own H1 2026 disclosure confirms the Orange Business segment specifically declined by 3.1% during this same period, described directly as ‘continu[ing] to be impacted by a challenging market environment’ - a real, current, worth-understanding contrast with the record results posted elsewhere in the Group. Separately, Orange completed full acquisition of MasOrange (the Spanish operator) on 8 June 2026, together reflecting substantial, active corporate expansion at the Group level, alongside net financial debt of €35.7 billion (2.4x EBITDAaL) following the MasOrange transaction. On the product side, Orange Business’s SD-WAN and SASE proposition centres on the Evolution Platform, a named Network-as-a-Service architecture described directly as combining underlay connectivity, SD-WAN, SASE, and cloud connectivity ‘through simple APIs or portal’, with services available self-managed, co-managed, or fully managed. Orange Business maintains a broad, multi-platform SASE partner ecosystem - our research confirmed named, direct partnerships with Palo Alto Networks (Prisma SASE, launched via a confirmed, detailed 2023 initiative combining Prisma Access and Prisma SD-WAN with Orange Business connectivity and Orange Cyberdefense managed security), Fortinet (a confirmed, dedicated partnership integrating Fortinet’s Security-driven Networking into Orange’s own telco cloud infrastructure), and further named references to Netskope and Zscaler as SSE capability partners, reinforced by a current, dated (March 2026) Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN certification for integrated branch security. Orange Cyberdefense, Orange’s in-house security subsidiary, is confirmed to deliver managed security services in 220 countries and territories via more than 3,000 security experts, including more than 100 CISSP-certified consultants and more than 200 ethical hackers, integrating proprietary threat intelligence into Orange’s SASE deployments. Analyst recognition is extensive: ISG has named Orange a Leader across five separate research sectors (managed SD-WAN, SDN transformation services, enterprise network technology and service suppliers, edge technologies and services, and SASE solutions and services), Vertical Systems Group ranked Orange among the top three global providers of carrier-managed SD-WAN services (alongside AT&T and Verizon Business, based specifically on market share outside each provider’s home country), and Orange holds a named, dated (16 March 2026) position in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Global WAN Services, alongside a referenced Leader position in IDC MarketScape’s Asia/Pacific Managed SD-WAN/SASE Services assessment. Orange confirms a current, direct ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, reinforced by historical confirmation of being the first global ICT provider to achieve certain ISO and ISAE audit standards, with specific, named certified sites (Egypt, India, Rennes in France, and New Delhi). Our research located a real, named, detailed customer deployment: Siemens, a major global industrial conglomerate, deployed global SD-WAN with Orange Business as part of a long-standing partnership and Siemens’ own broader cloud-migration digitisation strategy, with a named Orange executive quote from John Isch, Director, Connectivity Solutions for the Americas.","page_title":"Orange Business,
