Two new appointments to BT’s public sector team will strengthen the knowledge base behind the end-to-end ICT services it delivers to government departments and agencies across Northern Ireland. The positions have been created to build on existing customer and partner relationships as well as pave the way for cost transformation projects aligned to emerging public sector requirements.

The BT public sector division has been growing steadily and serves many of its key customers across the NI Civil Service, local government, education, criminal justice and health. Projects include the deployment of Account NI, a shared services centre for the Department of Finance and Personnel, a managed ICT infrastructure for the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, a managed network contract in the education sector and a PFI for Land and Property Services.

“The breadth and scope of our skills is something we continually look to build. Having great new people in our team will help us continue to create strong public sector partnerships where we can bring all our expertise to bear on transformational projects that increase efficiency and save money,” said Peter Russell, Head of Public Sector, BT.
