Network and digital integrator Orange Business has bought Expertime, a French consultancy specialising in Microsoft technology solutions.
Expertime, a team of 165 employees mainly based in France, has achieved the highest certification levels on Microsoft technologies and solutions in the public cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) and data, which are critical areas for Orange Business.
The acquisition is part of Orange Business’s ‘Lead the future’ strategic plan, which aims to speed up its digital services growth in France and across Europe.
The deal strengthens the Microsoft-focused practice of Orange Business, the business services arm of Orange S.A., which helps companies, especially small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), to move to the public cloud using the Expertime experts on Microsoft Azure.
