Orange Business Services is the enterprise arm of Orange Group (former France Telecom Group – until January 1, 2013). It originally emerged from the merger between Equant (a subsidiary of SITA) and the Global One joint venture of France Telecom, Deutsche Telekom, and Sprint 20 years ago. Despite its somewhat messy origins, the outcome was an organization that inherited one of the world's most extensive networks, and which today is responsible for all B2B activities of former France Telecom worldwide.
