Summary

Orange Business Services (Orange) has embarked on its mission to make converged service delivery (CSD) a reality in 2008.

Although some vital pieces are still missing in its CSD puzzle, Forrester believes that if it executes on its road map, Orange will become one of the first providers to facilitate the end-to-end management of combined telecom services and IT services under a single service-level agreement (SLA).
