• Centrally managed data for better collaboration
• Simplified operations and faster innovation with a cloud-first strategy

TMF Group, a leading provider of critical administrative services for global businesses, turned to long-term trusted partner Orange Business to deploy a centralised managed hybrid cloud solution to improve performance and provide greater flexibility and collaboration capabilities to address digital business needs.  

TMF Group strives to be a trusted partner to its clients, providing and expanding its delivery of first-class services anywhere in the world. The multinational needed a flexible, secure and scalable solution to enhance efficiencies and meet its overall business objectives. At the same time, TMF Group wanted a “one cloud’ solution to create new digital delivery services and integrate them with its existing Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services solutions.

To meet these requirements Orange Business built a managed Azure Stack HCI hybrid cloud service in Brazil, Costa Rica, France and Singapore with its ecosystem partners Dell Technologies and Microsoft. In addition, Orange Cyberdefense provided advanced security capabilities. The software-based solution supports the most demanding workloads, including those at the edge, for TMF Group’s 11,000 employees across 125 offices in 87 jurisdictions.

A foundation for new digital delivery models
This is one of the largest Azure Stack HCI deployments to date. The hyperconverged infrastructure connects TMF Group’s on-premises system to Azure for cloud-based services, monitoring and management. The solution satisfies data center workloads and the emerging needs of branch offices and edge locations. Native integration with Azure services means they can manage resources, back up data and monitor performance from a centralised portal.

“The TMF Group’s digital strategy combines both simplified and transformative capabilities, and the Orange Business solution provides us with the technology platform what our business demands: a flexible, reliable, globally distributed, centrally managed, cost-effective solution. We are embracing new digital delivery models to provide our clients with the valuable insights they need to add value to their organisations,” said Sajith Chakkingal, Head of Global Technology Services, Global Delivery at TMF Group. 

“We are proud to accelerate TMF Group in their mission to help their clients invest and operate safely around the world with secure and scalable digital infrastructure that inspires trust and confidence. Our unique solution blends on-premises, edge and cloud environments for unparalleled integration, performance, and cost-effectiveness, while navigating complex local and global regulations. With a customer-led approach to partnership, we deliver TMF Group with a robust foundation needed to drive their digital, data and AI ambitions,” added Usman Javaid, Chief Products and Marketing Officer at Orange Business.
