Global Crossing extends government VoIP contract
by Jan Harris
June 13, 2007
The UK government has demonstrated its commitment to VoIP telephony by extending a contract with managed telecoms services provider Global Crossing.
In a £105 million deal, Government procurement agency OGCbuying.solutions has entered into an agreement for Global Crossing to provide hosted IP telephony services and mobile working facilities for public sector employees.
UK e-government initiatives have been a key factor in the development of Global Crossings suite of advanced converged IP applications.
The company’s technology aims to provide efficiency savings while enabling secure, mobile and flexible working.
The Managed Telecommunication Service contract was first signed in 1996 but has expanded each year with more government departments moving to web-based telecoms and data solutions.
The extension will take the contract up to the end of 2011.
