Cable&Wireless Worldwide Signs Deed Of Undertakings With Government, Paving the Way for the Public Sector Network
LONDON, April 7, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cable&Wireless Worldwide today announced that it has signed a Deed of
Undertakings (DoU) with the Government that reflects its ongoing commitment
to providing mission critical communication services to the UK Public Sector.
It also enables C&W Worldwide to access opportunities within the new Public
Sector Network (PSN) framework that is currently being formed.
Having signed this agreement, C&W Worldwide is well positioned to deliver
a fundamental part of the core infrastructure, the Government Conveyance
Network (GCN), upon which the PSN will depend. This is the vital interconnect
between different network service providers that ultimately enables the PSN
to deliver the effect of a single network.
C&W Worldwide is a founding member of the PSN and has provided
significant support in helping the Cabinet Office drive forward its agenda.
C&W Worldwide plans to start deploying the GCN by early summer in a project
that connects the Government Connect Secure Extranet to the existing PSN
networks in Kent and Hampshire.
Brian Woodford, Managing Director for Public Sector and Partners at C&W
Worldwide, comments; "The Public Sector Network has the potential to change
the way Government engages with the telecoms industry, which in turn has the
ability to deliver significant outcomes in terms of savings in telecoms and
IT spend. It also provides new ways of accessing technology required to make
the operation of Government more efficient and effective. We are fully
behind this agenda and believe that in signing this Deed of Undertakings we
are demonstrating our intent and commitment to the Public Sector and to
driving these outcomes."
