Notes to editors
BT One Portfolio Update
The BT One portfolio has recently been simplified and restructured around 4 key building blocks:
- BT One Voice brings voice, mobile and data to every desktop in any organisation with a single global network that gives the same reliable service wherever the user is located, with a focus on making things simpler and generate substantial cost savings. One Voice is the first step for companies to bring all communications together with unified communication and collaboration (UCC) services.
- BT One Enterprise combines BT's accredited partnerships with Avaya, Cisco and Microsoft with components including core IP telephony, collaboration applications, messaging, high definition video and end user devices - all covered with a comprehensive managed services wrap.
- BT One Cloud is hosted by BT to make it easy and cost- effective for customers to set up across different sites and different countries, providing per user/per month billing on a wide range of unified communications services.
- BT One Collaborate delivers audio, video, web conferencing and streaming, as integrated services to support an organisation's unified communications strategy. One Collaborate helps people collaborate more effectively, to speed up decision-making and reduce travel and associated costs. Ultimately BT transforms how people work together, work with their customers and work with their partners.
Actual availability of the different products and services will vary depending on geography. Please refer to your local contacts for details.
