Switzerland-based BSI has extended its agreement with Orange Business Services for an additional three years to provide mission-critical connectivity to its far-flung locations, especially in Asia.

Orange will continue to provide BSI stable and reliable connections to all its sites allowing its employees to leverage the advantages of multi-protocol label switching technology.

According to Orange, the benefits of its offering include convergence, flexibility and cost effectiveness, which is especially important for the upcoming banking software applications.

Orange Business Services Europe senior vice president Helmut Reisinger said that the company offers BSI a unique local service proximity coupled with its ability to deliver offerings and services for the customers in up to 166 countries.

"In addition, we are focused on innovative solutions and offer a wide range of services ranging from IP and mobile communications to value-added services such as customer relationship management, unified communication and collaboration," Reisinger said.
