Orange Business Services and Samsung Electronics have signed an agreement to develop the professional use of tablets and services. They will target companies across the Orange footprint in Europe, with specific emphasis on Belgium, France, Poland and Spain.
Orange and Samsung will work on integrating Orange services, such as device management, deployment services and customer support, within Samsung tablets for the enterprise market. Customising some vertical applications will allow the two partners to propose vertical applications dedicated to tablets for sectors such as education and healthcare.
Samsung's Knox security service will be integrated into Orange’s Mobile Device Management. Samsung Knox offers a secure container that allows for the separation of the work and personal environments on the device. The service will be available to Orange B2B customers in France and progressively extended to other Orange European markets.
The agreement includes common work and development between Orange Business Services and Samsung around future ways of working and evolutions of the workspace, including integration of interactive whiteboards, document management services, Samsung’s wireless multifunction printers and point of sale services.
