Client:
  BT/Bank of Scotland
     
Problem:
  As a strategic service partner BT looks after the Bank’s voice and data network. These activities span a wide range of day-to-day changes and major project initiatives with typically several thousand service requests ongoing at any one point in time. The need for a close working relationship between teams at the Bank and at BT demanded improved information flows and consistency over traditional methods.
     
   
     
Solution:
  ennovation implemented a secure Extranet to act as an interface between the Bank of Scotland and BT, one of the Bank’s major outsource suppliers. The system provides online creation, tracking and reporting of Network Change Requests, ordering of approved products and services from an agreed catalogue and an information centre to act as a structured, searchable repository with controlled visibility and access for both reference and working document sets between the organisations.
     
Products:
  S³ Service Manager, OrderPoint, I³ Information Centre
     
Benefits:
  Service levels and consistency were improved, reductions in resources spent chasing progress and enhanced levels of management information were achieved alongside an estimated saving of over 5 man years of effort in the first year of implementation.
