Financial Overview
Appendix A: Glossary of Terms
Appendix B: Resource Unit Categories
3. GAIT Overview
4. Georgia Infrastructure Transformation: GAIT Transformation of the state’s IT infrastructure through partnership with key service providers: IBM and AT&T Prompted by the need for:
greater reliability
reduced risk
a more sustainable IT support model
increased operational effectiveness
fiscal responsibility Expected benefits:
more robust and efficient network design
centralized management model
standardized service levels across the state
services model including equipment refresh
consistent perimeter information security solution
significant capital investments
5. Affected Services ATT Managed Network Services (MNS):
Wide Area Network (WAN)
Local Area Network (LAN)
Voice Services, including:
Voice ports and mailboxes
Video conferencing
Contact center services
Interactive voice response (IVR)
Consolidated Service Desk
Single point for consolidated service to all GTA customers
Single knowledge database for the enterprise
Improved service through common processes and established service levels

6. Benefit to CustomersTelecommunications versus MNS When customers ordered Telecommunications Services from GTA in the past, they ordered many individual components or products to fulfill the service offering. Their GTA invoice listed all of these components individually.
With the new Managed Network Services offering, customers will buy a bundled service, not individual telecom components. Invoices will be much simpler.
As an example, compare previous Voice Services with the new offering:

10. Financial Overview
11. 11 Pricing Structure Standardized service charges based on units of consumption
State will now be buying services, not technology products
Transition from capital-based fixed costs to variable pricing model
Resource Unit Categories represent the various bundled service pricing units
See the Appendix of this deck for a description of all the Resource Unit categories
GTA customers will only pay for the Resource Unit volumes they consume each month
For each applicable service a customer receives, the monthly invoice will include Resource Unit volumes consumed that month multiplied by the Chargeback Unit Rate
The Chargeback Unit Rate is subject to change based on the enterprise (i.e. all GTA customers) volume of consumption
The more volume consumed at the enterprise level, the lower the unit rate and vice versa
12. 12 Effects on telecommunications costs At the enterprise level, managed network services (MNS) expenditures are not expected to increase
Individual customers may experience higher or lower MNS costs in the new environment
The mix of service categories and volumes of consumption will determine if a customer’s cost increases or decreases
13. 13 Managing Costs in a “Pay by the Drink” Model There are several financial levers customers can use to manage MNS spend in a consumption-based pricing model
Review and assess if Premium Voice Port features are required or will Basic Voice Port features suffice
Deactivate LAN and voice ports when not in use
Purge inactive voice mailboxes on a regular basis
Ensure voice mailboxes are deactivated timely upon employee departure
Review and assess if WAN ports are “oversized” with more data transmission capacity than required
Procure individual units of service versus blocks of units (e.g. switch or PBX quantities of 8, 12, or 24)
Consider adding wireless access points in high-concentration areas
Monitor usage of wireless access points on a regular basis and remove lightly used access points or switch them to locations where usage will be higher
14. 14 New online options for GTA Customers GTA customers will order services and view their invoices via a new Web portal
Georgia Enterprise Technology Services – GETS Portal
This portal will replace the current GTA eBilling system
See registration instructions at www.gta.georgia.gov/transformation
15. 15 GTA Customer Chargeback Invoice In May 2009, you will receive the final current GTA telecommunications invoice from the PRISM system.
The first customer chargeback invoices to be released June 10, 2009
A paper invoice will initially be distributed to all customers
In addition, supporting detail will be available on the portal
The Chargeback Invoice will include Transition and Transformation Charges as well the GTA Administrative Recovery Fee
Customers will have self serve capabilities for maintaining accurate account code data
GTA has provided ATT the appropriate accounting and billing information to facilitate the transition from the current GTA billing process
16. 16
17. 17 Service or Billing Questions GTA Service Delivery Consultants (SDCs) have been designated to serve GTA customers
Please contact your SDC to discuss issues, concerns or questions you have with service you are receiving or the charges on your invoice
The SDCs will work with ATT and the GTA Service Management Organization (SMO) to address concerns and resolve issues
To find out who your SDC is, please check the listing at www.gta.georgia.gov or contact GTA’s Service Delivery Office at 404-463-2330
