BT is pleased to continue supporting the APA by being the main dinner sponsor of the 2010 Conference.
Over the past few months we have been working with police forces to enable them to appreciate the contribution that Industry can provide to enable the fundamental transformation of the cost base necessary to enable them to meet the stringent cost cutting regimes that will characterise the next few years.
As an organisation of - today - around 97,000 people predominantly based in the UK, BT serves the needs of 13m UK residential customers, over 1m small enterprises and a host of major public and private sector companies in the UK and worldwide.
We believe we can help forces achieve the efficiency gains we've delivered within BT. Our transformation has enabled us to make significant savings on operational expenditure, we reduced our headcount in 2008-2010 by 14,000 employees and 21,000 contract staff, yet maintained, and even improved service to our customers.
Our message is simple - we believe that standardising business processes and underpinning these with IT can make the business of Policing - operations, front, middle and back office - efficient and cost effective, while critically maintaining the quality of policing to the citizens they serve.
