This webinar is for ALGIM Council / CCO members only.
Telco is easy to treat as a commodity. The contract is signed, the services are running and the bills are being paid. But for councils, telco has a much bigger impact than the monthly cost.
In this webinar, Matt Walton, CEO of independent tech advisory, Dog and Bone, will use the recent work with Councils as a practical case study in looking beyond the telco contract.
Council wanted an independent view of whether its broader telco environment was delivering the best possible value and was fit for what came next.
Matt will explain how he worked with one Council to assess its telco environment across mobility, WAN and connectivity, contact centre and telephony, and how benchmarking helped Council compare options, understand trade-offs and plan for future contract and technology decisions.
He’ll also look at the factors that sit beyond price and how bringing those together can give councils a clearer roadmap for what to retain, improve or change.
The session is designed for council executives, CIOs, IT leaders, CFOs, procurement teams and anyone responsible for telco services or contracts.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of what to review before the next renewal or procurement, how benchmarking can support better decisions, and how to balance cost, capability, risk and future needs.
