France Telecom, one of the world's leading telecommunications operators, serves more than 177 million customers worldwide in five continents, of which two-thirds are Orange customers.

"Everybody uses the SuccessFactors system from the CEO and senior management down," said Karen Gusterson, Head of Managed Services for Orange. "It is not just an extra step in the process, it is the process. We're using SuccessFactors extensively for employee performance reporting and calibration purposes, as well as helping to drive salary reviews and develop career plans for staff. It's really important for us to notice our rising stars and help develop talent internally. Telecommunications is one of the most rapidly changing industries there is. So that we can be nimble in this environment, we need the ability to communicate and cascade updated goals throughout the organization as we adjust strategy over time. The strategic initiatives that SuccessFactors enables are board-sponsored, and the performance-related conversations the solution supports are vital to ensuring we remain aligned as a business."
