European mobile operator Orange has signed an agreement with global services leader, EDS, to offer a set of managed mobility solutions to enterprise customers.
The two companies also announced they will be jointly delivering the EDS Extended Connected Office (ECO) service, which brings a secure, desktop environment to any mobile data device with reduced risk and at a fixed monthly rate per user.
The fixed cost per user will cover the handset, service and data usage.
The ECO solution connects mobile and remote workers seamlessly through the corporate firewall to access data, enterprise applications, personal information and collaboration services.
Orange and EDS have additionally formed a Wireless Centre of Excellence, consisting of joint virtual teams.
The Centre will be instrumental in offering ECO to both existing Orange and EDS customers as well as new enterprise clients.
