Course Description:

'' This two-day programme is designed for purchasing and facilities professionals seeking better deals and performance from their telecomms providers. With the industry in continuous revolution, it’s an excellent time to secure new solutions and lower costs. The programme consists of three elements: a technical briefing, commercial aspects and the regulatory environment.
The workshop begins with a jargon-busting run through of the fundamentals of telephony, access, networks, signaling and transmissions for both voice and data. Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) is explored along with other innovations.
How telecomms services and equipment are segmented, products on offer, who’s who in the market and the latest developments from a procurement standpoint are all covered in the commercial element.
The Regulatory element looks at the role of OFTEL and its responsibility from promoting competition in the UK. New EU Directives and regulatory activities in Member states will be reviewed together with the UK’s 1998 Competitive Act. Programme Outline
