Nortelis the first telecoms hardware
firm to be accredited for the UK government's Gateway Alliance
Programme, which aims to improve public sector services through
shared online facilities.
The Programme is part of the Cabinet Office's e-Delivery Team's
(EDT) ongoing commitment to work in partnership with key IT
suppliers in delivering the
Government Gateway and related services across the public
sector.
Government organisations will be offered Nortel's technologies
covering unified communications, wireless and fixed line
networks.
"We are delighted to have
Nortel on board," said Damien Kennedy, head of partnering at
EDT. "As the programme moves into its next phase, we will be
focused on the delivery of innovation and the reduction of life
time costs of ICT estates, and so having industry leaders such as
Nortel being a part of the programme is essential to our
success."
