Joined Up Communications
Joined Up Communications : Let's cut through complexity
Today's enterprises are complex webs of mobile and fixed communications. Your people are increasingly mobile and work from multiple locations – office, home, customer sites. But the last thing you need is the headache of managing lots of different communications providers.
We found out that 52% of enterprises have between three and eight different communications suppliers, and that 91% of businesses find tracking costs across multiple suppliers difficult (Coleman Parkes Research 2010).
So we've created a comprehensive, Joined Up Communications portfolio – a toolkit of mobile, voice, data and networking technologies that our expert teams can use to create the right solutions for you. Our mobile networking heritage means we're in tune with the individual needs of your people who need to work more flexibly or on the move. Wherever your people are, we can help them stay in touch and securely access the data and applications they need to work productively.
By choosing O2 you get simplified communications and networking infrastructures that are more responsive as your organisation changes, and are ready to support your move to the cloud when the time is right. All underpinned by our award-winning customer service. You can count on us to guide you through your communications and networking transformation and bring maximum benefit to your business.
River Island brings together its fixed and mobile communications and works with O2 to plan future innovations.

In the competitive retail marketplace, La Senza strives to reduce operating costs without negatively affecting its award-winning customer service. Its strategy is to consolidate its supplier base, particularly in ICT, but only by working with the right supplier. Already La Senza's provider of mobile phones, O2 is now providing the company with ISDN2 and ISDN30 services throughout its 170 stores, three distribution centres and head office.
"In purely practical terms it makes sense. Rather than having two vendors to manage, we have one account review meeting, one bill, one point of contact, "
says Paul Erskine, Infrastructure Manager, La Senza UK and Ireland.

O2 is helping Chichester District Council get more from its communications with increased efficiency, lower costs, easier billing analysis and proactive customer service. And for lone workers, a mobile tracking application means they no longer have to carry a second device to keep them safe.
"From the very first meeting we had with O2 it was clear that they had investigated what we did as a council. They had already examined our targets and understood what we were trying to achieve which, in the first meeting, is very impressive, "
says Jodie Maskell, Communications & Network Officer, Chichester District Council.
