Amdocs and global security technology group Giesecke+Devrient (G+D), last week announced a joint collaboration to provide Orange Belgium’s enterprise customers with the ability to order, activate and manage embedded SIM (eSIM) on their employees’ devices.
Orange Belgium is among the first service providers to launch eSIM for enterprises, bringing digital innovation to support their customers’ journey to becoming fully digital.
The eSIM Device Enablement Server (eDES) marks the launch of eSIM support for enterprises and opens the way to new experiences for the enterprise consumer. Users will be able to easily and digitally add a new eSIM profile and switch between SIM profiles without the need to receive a plastic SIM card and manually insert it into the device, with the pre-integrated G+D/Amdocs solution responsible for integration to the billing system and device OEMs, orchestration and user interface (UI) management.
By moving to digital, the solution will enable Orange Belgium’s enterprise customers to reduce the cost and time in managing and delivering SIM cards, improving the overall experience for both the enterprise connectivity manager and the employee.
Werner De Laet, Chief Enterprise, Innovation and Wholesale Officer of Orange Belgium
Orange Belgium was the first operator to introduce eSIM support on the Belgian market. It is only logical to now go a step further by allowing B2B customers to also enjoy the advantages of eSIM. For enterprise customers equipped with eligible eSIM-enabled devices, the insertion of a SIM card into the devices will no longer be necessary in order to access Orange Belgium’s network.
Anthony Goonetilleke, Group President of Technology and Head of Strategy at Amdocs
eSIM is one of the game-changers that the industry is now focused on, together with 5G. Moving to digital, omni-channel management of the SIM has become important for communications and media providers worldwide, especially since the global pandemic.
