  15. DMA Process 45 days 15 days 30 days Contracts and Pricing Reception Design Build NB – Times quoted are working days

  16. DMAs – Geographic Number Range Volumes • BT will strive to achieve the 30 working day standard lead time wherever possible • Present demand exceeds what is realistically achievable • Increase in timescales is inevitable while this level of demand continues • Large orders being broken up into smaller chunks • Any suggestions?

  18. Paperless Contract Richard G Jones Update…………………. July 2005

  19. Update . • 95% of all contracts now processed through paperless. • 35-40 Contracts processed since launch. • All minor fears / concerns on security allayed / cleared. • Some additional side letters prepared for sender/recipients as required. • No outstanding concerns/enquiries on the paperless idea. • Good feedback all round.

  20. Feedback 1 • THUS - I think the paperless contract is the way forward - no problems • EnergisI think it is an excellent idea. ………………..I think the time saving benefits for both parties will be significant. • C & W …happy in principle, I have not run it through the legal guys as yet….. the driver from us for any change will be a reduction in DMA time lines I anticipate this to be - 5 days.  • Colt Personally, anything that speeds up the road to market has got to be an improvement. I often find that I have not received contracts or they have been placed in a different pigeon hole. Soft copies would be a good thing as I think they are now recognised…

  21. Feedback 2 • OpalI am all in favour of avoiding paper etc.My personal opinion is that the scanning in of the signature is a bit unnecessary and does not contribute to security. • Optics Telecom …Please find contracts attached I think it is a lot easier …… • Magrathea.To be honest, I found it so simple its difficult to find any comments! It took me a short while to suitably scan a signature of a quality usable, but once this was done it was an easy process to cut and paste it into your document. I much prefer having the contract documents filed on a server here than on a book shelf, and it means that we get the actual pricing & date information that day or two quicker as well as we don't have to worry about the post side of things - so I'm all for it! • TRA (UK)The process is very comfortable, especially if one is aware of how to insert scanned signature. Having said this, i believe there are a number of people who do not have a scanned signature in their pc or do not have a scanner so that they may scan the two page document and e-mail back. • The process is definitely a lot quicker.

  22. Feedback 3 • Culomb.co •  This is beautiful. • What used to take 3 to 5 days can now be done on the same day with less effort. Let alone the use of paper, ink and storage needs :)

  23. Any Questions ?
