Three women smiling because Oriflame moved to the cloud with the help of T Business.

Oriflame: IT by T-Mobile

Oriflame outsourced its entire IT infrastructure to T-Mobile Czechia.

“What we appreciate most about the solution is that it allowed us to deploy our systems in the cloud, meaning all our corporate applications are now easy to access for both our employees and consultants. It’s given us the flexibility we needed to react to market demands in any part of the world quickly, helping us improve the services we provide to our customers.”

Richard Hamrik, Managing Director IT Center of Excellence, Oriflame.
