Products and services

We aim to meet the needs of our customers by delivering unmatched data connectivity and products and services that matter to them. We want to be the number one operator for Polish households and the trusted partner of choice for businesses, supporting digital transformation.

We offer a broad portfolio of telecommunication products and services for individual, business and wholesale customers. We are the biggest fixed-mobile convergent operator in Poland, offering fixed connectivity based on different technologies. Our success as a business depends on delivering value to all our customers, enabling them to fulfil their needs and aspirations. This translates into increased market share on the one hand, and on the other hand into revenues and profits. To achieve success we have to design a palette of services that fit customer needs, are competitive and allow us to differentiate ourselves on the market. Finally, the offer has to be properly communicated.

Fitting customer needs

As customer needs are evolving rapidly and the continued digitisation of society generates a vast increase in demand for data transfer, we have to constantly develop our offer, adjusting it to customer needs and providing the right products at the right price.

Our activities in this respect are different for the mass consumer market and for business customers. Furthermore, the business customer group is not homogenous either. We make a distinction for internal purposes between small businesses, bigger corporate customers and the largest customers (key accounts). An example of a change in customer needs is the trend towards fulfilling the digital needs of entire households, as opposed to the single service contracts that were the market standard a few years ago. Our products are available to all our customers regardless of their age, ability, skills or place of residence. We conduct an active dialogue with our customers to ensure that our services and products meet the relevant needs and requirements.

Competitiveness and differentiation

In order to be successful, our service portfolio must be competitive. So we very closely monitor the activities of our competition and react appropriately. The Polish market is very competitive with a significant number of players in all its segments. The level and dynamics of competition have had a very significant influence on our financial results. We are constantly looking for innovations in our product portfolio and the right balance between features and price. The key differentiator and the source of competitive advantage for us is the ability to offer both mobile and fixed services, which we call convergence. By addressing the household’s telecommunication needs in a comprehensive manner and encouraging customers to buy additional services, convergence increases customer satisfaction and reduces churn as compared to single service users. We accelerated our convergence strategy by introducing the Orange Love convergent offer and making it the key commercial formula in the Orange.one strategy. In 2019 we launched a highly innovative Orange Flex offer, fully manageable from a smartphone application. We believe total flexibility and digital experience will be the key factors for telecommunications services customers in the future. We also develop adjacent services that complete our basic telecom product portfolio for a household, like energy resale. On the business market a good example of differentiation strategy is our development of competencies in ICT, which in a lot of cases helps us to win business in our core services. Our global and widely recognised Orange brand is a vital source of competitive advantage and also helps us to differentiate.
