As a recent appointee of the OGC Catalist program, Opal Telecom
relishes the challenge of helping public sector organisations meet the
increased demands placed upon them as part of the governments
plan for transforming service delivery. It believes that, by investing in
new infrastructures, it can provide the technologies to enhance
services and reduce operating costs today, while at the same time
helping public sector bodies meet environmental targets laid down by
policy makers.
And its capable of doing this using applications and technology that
are tried and tested in the private sector and easy to administer.
Opal believes its imperative that any and every department challenges
its telecoms provider to deliver the best.
Telecommunications is vital to the ongoing evolution of the
public sector. A properly constructed communications strategy
encompassing data and voice and mobile, developed in
consultation with experienced partners can help meet key
objectives laid down by Central Government.
Converged data and voice networks provide cost efficiency and
facilitate collaboration; hosted solutions can deliver enterprise
grade call management to customer facing departments; secure
IP communications can enable flexible working patterns and
deliver sensitive information to those in the field when they need it.

Efficiency, convergence and value for money
As the economic forecasts get bleaker and general elections
loom, the public sector is under greater pressure than ever to
prove itself efficient and cost effective and accountable for its
actions. IT and communications is the fastest growing area of
government spend and according to a recent Kable report,
many managers see it as a cost burden rather than an enabler.
A modern telecoms provider, though, can deliver significant
cost savings and increase efficiency.
In a speech to the CBI last year, OGC Chief Executive John
Oughton urged those in public service procurement to see value
for money as a guiding principle. In a fast changing area like
telecoms, though, its hard to keep up with where that value lies.
The regulator, Ofcom, has made huge progress in making themarket more competitive. Many of the best value deals on call
charges and line rental can be found on the newer, converged
networks that operate completely outside of BTs domain.
Its not just about saving money, though, the technology behind
an all IP network directly benefits department processes too.

Unlike legacy telecommunications, a modern telecoms provider
carries both data and voice as packets of data using the
standard IP protocols. Many people still cringe when they hear
the term Voice over IP (VoIP), associating calls placed over the
internet with terrible sound quality and intermittent signal loss
yet the truth is that on a truly modern network that offers Quality
of Service (QoS) guarantees, youll be unable to tell the
difference between an traditional call and one placed via IP.
Even with a legacy PBX on site, the very least an all-IP network
can deliver is free calls between various departments.
Combining an IP-PBX with a flexible, IP trunked network will
unlock advanced features like intelligent routing for mobile
workers at no extra cost.
This convergence of voice and data can also bring greater
efficiencies through new applications which make use of
merged voice and data traffic. Under the banner of unified
communications (UC), working in groups with people outside of
your direct department is made much easier.
With UC, documents can be securely shared and conference
calls started at a single click from the same interface as your
email address book. It also enables instant messaging from the
same dashboard, an efficient way of dealing with minor issues
without having to make a phone call or instigate a meeting.

With all these benefits comes greater provisioning flexibility
too. On a truly converged, IP network, physical lines are a
thing of the past. Instead, data bandwidth can be dynamically
reassigned for voice, and allocations increased without a long
lead time or the need for engineer access. There are no
expensive lock-ins to legacy systems like Featurenet or
Centrex either.
Put simply, you can increase the number of lines going into an
office for busy periods, for a low cost, on short contracts This
means extra lines can be made available specifically when
usage spikes: for example at Universities around clearing time,
or the late Spring/Early Summer period for the Passport Office.

About Opal
Choose a provider that:
G Has invested in its own IP network and can offer significantly
reduced call and data costs
G Provides hosted services to eliminate the need for expensive
capital expenditure and maintenance costs
G Can dynamically manage bandwidth requests, without long
contracts for lines which are rarely used
G Offers solutions that ensure your calls are routed to the right
resource quickly and effectively
ICT isnt a burden or a race to keep up with the latest technology
available. A good telecoms provider will deliver a solution that
streamlines processes, facilitates collaboration and cuts costs,
helping the public sector to deliver on important targets.

For example: according to research from Sun Microsystems and Mitel,
an office workers desktop including PC, handset and monitor will draw
around 150W of electricity. Replace this with a thin client terminal and
a low power VoIP phone, and you can reduce the power consumption
by a factor of 10 or more. Thats an enormous potential saving.
The same principles apply to everyday telecoms. A hosted telephony
service can deliver all the features youd expect from a high end PBX,
but without the need to install hardware on-site. Calls are simply re-
routed to any landline or IP connection and administered quickly and
easily through a web interface.
Hosted solutions can also integrate with other server based technology
that you may be running like Microsofts Office Communications
Server. This gives users and switchboard operators enormous powerto take control of how they want their calls handled from a familiar
control suite that only takes minutes to master.
Combining this with a voice-ready, secure IP network from a next-
generation network provider right to employees front doors can create
an opportunity for tackling another carbon culprit: the daily commute.
Using technology thats been tried and tested in the private sector, the
same virtual switchboard applications can re-route calls for home
workers at no additional cost, while providing an intuitive and complete
dashboard for accessing all the information they need to do their jobs
and stay in touch with team members via easy to use telephone and
video conferencing.
Environmental auditing is a vital part of new government
procurement policies. Thanks to the historic legacies of poor
planning and server sprawl, its reckoned that polluting
emissions from the ICT sector will overtake aviation later this
year. New communication technologies, though, can be a
powerful tool in the fight to lower energy consumption and
reduce carbon footprints, often in ways you may not have
thought of.
Cutting electricity usage at a time of increasing energy costs
doesnt just make good financial sense, its good for the
environment too. Until recently, though, power efficiency was
rarely considered as part of a design goal in the development of
new IT equipment and technologies: energy hungry server-
farms, PBXs and bloated desktop PCs are just some of the
legacies were left with from the IT explosion of the last 15
years. On top of their own energy costs, they need physical
space and cooling to match, with running costs that can be
equal to the total capital investment every year. The good news
is that replacing end of life equipment with carefully selected
new machines can have an enormous impact on overall energy
usage, and go a long way towards meeting government targets
of reducing emissions by 50% over the next decade. Multi-core
processors have opened the doors to a new era of virtualisation, in
which one server can do the work of up to 50 for the same cost.

In the same vein, replacing business travel with hosted
conferencing and data sharing solutions is sound environmental
practice, and reduces travel budgets too. Voice-ready
broadband guarantees call quality while hosted solutions make
setting up meetings as easy as clicking the mouse.
An experienced telecomms provider will be able to advise of
other opportunities to meet environmental commitments without
simply paying lip service to the green debate. Theyll be able to
demonstrate innovations like web provisioning and paperless
billing which reduce waste, while at the same time integrate with
your systems for streamlining administration.

Keeping things accountable
As recent headlines have shown, getting the right call solution
for a public body isnt quite as straight forward as it seems.
Non-geographical numbers - like 0870 and 0844 are useful for
centralising services and dealing with large call volumes, but
theyve due to the perceived higher cost, theyve also been a
sensitive subject in the Public Sector.
In the health sector especially, patients have been angered that
an 0870 call to their GP can be more expensive than a standard
local call rate.
In response, a new prefix 03 is being designated for non-
geographical services that are guaranteed to cost no more than
a local call whatever your normal tariff. Many operators now
include 03 numbers with some of their call bundles and
packages so calling one may even be free. Public sector bodies
are being urged to adopt the new numbers and absorb the cost
of running them themselves.
A key factor to look for in a potential telecomms partner is their
track record in the private sector: do they have dedicated
account managers, who can help guide future strategy and flag
up issues like this before they arise? If the answers yes then
theyll be more likely to provide the kind of value for money and
deliver the service that the public sector requires.
Streamlining public facing services with the help of modern
telecoms systems is an important part of making the public
sector more efficient and accessible. Automated call handling
and IP telephony can deliver powerful network-based
applications, bringing the power of an enterprise grade
switchboard to offices large and small.
No-one likes to be held in a call queue, or be passed from pillar
to post. A properly implemented interactive voice response (IVR)
service can reduce call waiting times and eliminate the chance a
caller will reach a frustrating busy signal.
When balanced against benefits like intelligent call routing which
enables out of hours service from different offices and automated
processes for Council Tax bill payments or doctors appointmentbookings, listening to a few options doesnt seem too great a
hardship to bear. Designed with sensitivity, a good call handling
system radically improves overall access to public services.
It doesnt have to mean investing in expensive on site
equipment, either. A number of operators offer completely
hosted solutions which deliver a powerful IVR with compliancy
features like voice recording from the network itself. Coupled
with flexible call routing which terminates a call wherever the
right person is, rather than at a particular handset, its the best
way to ensure access in all situations.
The providers experience in designing and managing such
systems can be invaluable in optimising the call routing
program, and designing training programs for staff.

Whats more, as competition in the telecoms market heats up,
operators with their own network can contribute even more to
financial efficiencies. Newer, internet-based technology delivers
massive cost savings which are passed on in terms of low cost
line rentals and free inter-site and intra departmental calling.
Thanks to unified communications, presence applications
can indicate who in the department is available at any particular
time too, so transferring a caller to voicemail becomes a thing
of the past.

As more and more distributed applications are added to a network
traffic, more and more points of vulnerability emerge. Battling to close
these with traditional tools is near impossible, and requires too great an
investment in system administration for too little additional security. At
the same time, as recent problems have shown, the greatest threat to
security is no longer hackers or viruses trying to get into a network, but
human error or malevolence allowing information out. When large
numbers of people have access to, for example, information about
benefit claimants which isnt stored in an encrypted format, eventually,
some of it is going to slip out.
Experts at IDC reckon that some 84% of data leakage is generated
internally. Sometimes its embarrassing, sometimes its costly and
sometimes its dangerous all the time, public services must be seen
to be doing everything they can to prevent it.
Fortunately, the migration to a new, IP-based telecoms and data
network can actually help rather than exacerbate the problem. The two
biggest steps to securing data are native encryption of all traffic on the
network, and user based access to that information using policies
which can be centrally administered. Telecoms providers who can
support modern Network Access Control (NAC) techniques (e.g.
VPNs) and management platforms are better placed to help keep
sensitive data secure, no matter who needs to access it from where.
Protecting data is a key issue for all businesses, but
especially for the public sector. Up until now, maintaining
security has meant keeping the perimeter of your network
safe with a firewall. As new ways of working evolve, though,
so too must network security. Packet encryption and secure
access combined with resilient, failsafe routing helps prevent
data leakage without inconveniencing legitimate users.
Nobody needs reminding that data security is a burning issue
for the public sector. In all areas, from tax offices to health care
specialists, sensitive information about members of the public is
stored and accessed on a daily basis. Balancing the need for
swift access to databases and applications and to protect data
is an imperative, and solutions that worked in the past simply
arent up to the task of preventing data leakage in todays
connected world.
The old fashioned methods of security erecting a firewall
perimeter and requiring password logins are no longer
enough. There are two reasons for this: the changing nature of
network applications and the changing nature of threats.

know the benefits they can bring. It can also be part of bringing
business processes up to date, allowing council officers to file reports
in the field from mobile devices or paramedics to access databases
and communicate with central staff.
Whatever the initial driver, though, flexible working has very measurable
business benefits. As well as significantly increasing employee
satisfaction ratings, according the governments own figures,
productivity can be increased by as much as 25% thanks to reduced
sickness and staff turnover in desk based jobs alone. Giving a support
worker the technology to access internal systems on the road can
transform the role completely.
Project Nomad combines making the public sector a better place to
work, which leads private industry by example, with making publicorganisations more efficient and cost effective.
It is also a major part of the governments commitments to hit
environmental targets. By enabling more employees to do more
work out of the office or at smaller regional offices which can be
centrally managed, commute times are reduced, overall space
and equipment requirements are reduced and significant energy
efficiencies can be made.
Communication is absolutely key to getting Project Nomad right.
Whether thats choosing the right partner for data access, or making
sure outreach and home workers still feel part of the team via
conferencing, instant messaging and presence applications. Its also
vital that managers can still do their job, and quantifiably measure
employees performance to build bonds of trust.
Flexible working isnt just about helping employees achieve a
better work/life balance. There are well documented, hard
business benefits in giving people the opportunity to work in
a manner that suits them. These are tangible enough that that
central government has developed Project Nomad: an
ongoing process of determining best practices for flexible
working and encouraging more public bodies to adopt them.
Whether its home working, hotdesking, mobile workers or
collaboration between jobshares, getting the telecoms
strategy right is vital to Project Nomads success.
Many people still see the civil service as the faceless
bureaucracy best represented in Terry Gilliams film, Brazil.
The truth is that its a dynamic environment ahead of many
private enterprises when it comes to embracing modern
working practice.
Take the government initiative Project Nomad, which is helping
to implement and evaluate flexible working in the public sector.
Simple in concept, rather more complicated in detail and
execution, Project Nomad is a little like the term flexible
working itself. It encompasses everything from job sharing and
home working to improving systems for mobile workers in health
care and planning.
All are tied by a common theme, though, the ability of modern
technology to reduce the amount of time an employee needs to
spend in the office.
Demand for flexible working arrangements is often employee led
whether its parents returning to work or younger, more
technically aware members of the workforce who have grown
up with tools like instant messaging and videoconferencing, and

Fortunately, many of the technologies that make flexible working
arrangements reliable and secure are provided for at network
level by todays modern telecoms companies. Home worker
applications which handle call distribution and back office
integration have played a major role in streamlining the UK call
centre industry and helping to win back business from the sub-
continent thanks to security, ease of use and the ability to cover
access at all times by using home workers.
Many providers now have the experience to quickly roll out new
services across their networks which work seamlessly with
established systems and applications. Their converged
networks can carry data and voice securely between offices,
and deliver the cost savings of VoIP and SIP trunking and
hosted IVRs in the process. Where hardware investment is
needed, they already have a trusted network of vendors they
can rely on.
One stumbling block for Project Nomad is that when things go
wrong, they may be out of your IT staffs control. Its important
to find a partner you can trust, who has a track record in
providing always on support and robust tools for automation
and self administration.
Choose a telecoms provider that:
G Has proven and refined technology that is being successfully
utilised in the demanding private sector
G Knows what works and what doesnt, and can advise on

This is a watershed year for the ICT industry. Many technologies which
have been discussed for a long time under the catch all of unified
communications are finally coming to fruition, with the support of all the
major hardware and software vendors. Bringing together voice and
data onto one network and layering applications over them both opens
up a world of opportunity.
Too often, though, we see headlines where new systems have failed
the public sector by running over budget and compromising its duty
of care.
Opal Telecom believes that its tried and tested IP platform, along with
associated services such as data backup and hosted telephony, can
play a major role in continuing transformation of the public sector.
Through the services it offers and supports, it can help with rapid andcost effective deployment and management of the applications the
public sector needs to keep evolving.
A major failing of many ICT projects is inadequate planning
and poor network provisioning. A telecoms partner with boththe technology and the experience thats been honed and
proven in the private sector can provide a robust, failsafe
platform for delivery of services across government
departments.
The public sector has been mandated with achieving goals in
modernisation and streamlining of services; in accountability and
cost effectiveness; in increasing data security yet enabling
flexible working; and taking the lead on environmental issues.
All of these targets are achievable using ICT applications and
services that are available on the market today.
