SMART Story

BT adapts to a new phase of globalisation


Collaborative solutions from SMART playing pivotal role
BT Innovate & Design (BTID) has embarked on a Global Development Centre (GDC) Programme that embeds collaborative solutions from SMART Technologies. Central to BTs growth ambitions is BTID - responsible for building all the systems and networks used by BT. These systems are built by end to end project teams that have adopted the agile development methodology. Collectively these teams are responsible for development that enables BT to drive towards its strategic goal of being Number One for Customer Service. The adoption of agile development practices requires a new type of environment, especially as the teams are geographically dispersed across the UK, India, China, USA and Central Europe. BTID realised that it needed a new environment where both layout and technology supports agile delivery. The idea was influenced by information from Google, Gartner Group and Microsoft as well as research into understanding how people actually collaborate. We also researched interactive environments that are conducive to dynamic and positive decision-making. We knew some form of telepresence was required and evaluated a range of technologies and software, all of which supported some of our vision, says Bola Oshisanwo, Director, Agile Development Centre. Our developers tend to work in groups around a white board and research revealed that they want to interact with and see what their colleagues are writing on the boards, and see their faces. At that point we knew our solution must support this way of working whilst connecting teams that are spread across multiple locations. BTs research culminated in the complete redesign of the agile development teams working environment and included the adoption of SMART Technologies collaborative solution. It started with a proof of concept at Adastral Park, BTs centre for development in Ipswich. The initial pilot project was conceived and implemented within five months, involving two hundred people and seventeen SMART Board interactive whiteboards at Adastral Park, one whiteboard each in Belfast and Glasgow and two whiteboards in India. End to end development teams were selected to occupy the new space. Desks are arranged so that people on chairs can easily slide between them, monitors sit on swivel arms and each team of twelve people has its own SMART Board, a circular meeting table, IP video and audio conferencing capabilities. People were wowed by the SMART Boards initially but quickly snapped back into old habits, says Bola. It became clear that this was because they didnt understand the capability of the technology, so we designed a training package which was delivered to a critical mass of people over a short period of time. The training was based on observing what people did day to day. The training focused on helping them to incorporate the SMART Boards and collaborative working into their day to day work.

the successful delivery of a customer solution relies upon the effective collaboration between people across Bt. Our new SmArt collaboration capability enables people to meet, irrespective of where they are in the world and interact as if they were in the same room. this has had a massive impact on travel costs and reduced our carbon footprint significantly. Last week I trained 34 people in India from Adastral Park and yesterday I trained a further eight thats a saving of a flight to India, plus my time, in just two weeks. Bola Oshisanwo, Director, Agile Development Centre Globalisation has redefined the modern economy; it offers growth and opportunity but also demands a new way of working. As a company that serves customers in more than 170 countries, BT recognises that it must improve business agility to generate efficiencies and improve operational and environmental performance. To achieve this,

26 | BT adapts to a new phase of globalisation

The proof of concept subsequently proved so successful that BTID has set up the GDC Programme to manage the deployment of the solution to five Agile Development Centres worldwide. The next stage of the project has deployed the solution to Dallas, Adastral Park, BTIDs headquarters in London and to Pune in India, enabling a further 700 people to work effectively. Bola comments: The successful delivery of a customer solution relies upon the effective collaboration between people across BT. Our new SMART collaboration capability enables people to meet, irrespective of where they are in the world and interact as if they were in the same room. This has had a massive impact on travel costs and reduced our carbon footprint significantly. Last week I trained 34 people in India from Adastral Park and yesterday I trained a further eight thats a saving of a flight to India, plus my time, in just two weeks. In another instance, by using the new SMART collaboration tools, a group of five developers were able to resolve a problem within two days rather than travel to India for five days. This has clear implications for

people satisfaction, staff retention and work life balance, as well as reducing travel costs and carbon footprint. Ultimately were using this technology to change and transform the culture of the company, explains Alan Bateman the Director for Next Generation Engineering What started as a project at Adastral Park has led to plans for a network of five global development centres worldwide, all adopting the same blueprint and specifically designed to accelerate and improve the quality of our development. He concludes: BT is dedicated to helping customers thrive in a changing world. We understand the power of technology to achieve this and believe SMART has a pivotal role to play.

SMART Story

SMARTs collaboration solutions enable O2 to work better, connected.


The challenge O2s business case is built around realising efficiencies, improving time to market and reducing costs for the business. The company has multiple offices throughout the UK and headquarters in Slough where it also has two other offices. With frequent travel between the Slough and Leeds locations, the company realised the setup had to change. We decided to amalgamate the three Slough offices into one location accommodating 2,200 people, explains Alan Parkin, programme manager, infrastructure design and delivery. We recognised that uniting disparate teams and improving interdepartmental collaboration was central to delivering an outstanding customer experience. And the infrastructure to support this would be critical to success. Previously, all meeting rooms contained a conference phone and flip chart, but projectors had to be booked through reception and a great deal of time was wasted simply setting up. With only 47 meeting rooms - half the number previously available - the new Slough site demanded a more productive and collaborative working environment. A smooth and timely transition between meetings would be essential to ensure that the new office has the meeting room capacity to support operational needs. The solution O2 decided to investigate interactive technologies The decision was taken to trial SMART Technologies collaboration solutions and five SMART Board interactive whiteboards were installed across the Leeds and Slough sites. The SMART Boards network using Bridgit conferencing software, allowing people in any location to join a data conference, use touch screen commands, write in digital ink over any application, generate and integrate data, share desktops and write and save notes immediately. We can set up a conference in less than three minutes and SMARTs collaboration technology fits perfectly with our mantras of walk up and use and three touches and go, says Alan. It really is that simple. The pilot was so successful that almost all of the 47 meeting rooms in the new Slough office will have a SMART Board and the boardroom will have two SMART Podiums (formerly the Sympodium interactive pen display). Every floor will also have one or more SMART Boards in Our Space areas for impromptu meetings. Road shows are planned to demonstrate the capabilities of the technology and designated shapers from each directorate will cascade output from monthly meetings. Supported by user-guide booklets, a self-help intranet portal has also been developed to help users get the most from the new technology.

We can set up a conference in less than three minutes and SmArts collaboration technology fits perfectly with our mantras of walk up and use and three touches and go. It really is that simple. Alan Parkin,programme manager, infrastructure design and delivery, O2 With 29,000 employees across the group servicing 45.8 million fixed and mobile customers across Europe, O2 combines sophisticated voice and data products that help people get more out of their lives. SMARTs collaboration technology provides O2 with much the same benefit, translating into more time, less travel and reduced costs. Uniting disparate teams and enabling them to collaborate effectively regardless of location, SMARTs technology wholly supports O2s ethos that were better, connected.

28 | SMARTs collaboration solutions enable O2 to work better, connected

The future The impact of SMARTs collaboration technology has been so significant that we plan to install SMART Boards in our Leeds, Bury, Preston Brook and Glasgow call centres, as well as rolling it out to offices across the UK, concludes Alan. Our training department also recognises the potential to train staff using the SMART Boards, reducing travel and costs whilst improving productivity. I have no doubt that embracing SMARTs technology to drive change in our meeting and training culture will prove transformational for the O2 business.

The results It has been estimated that if 25% of O2 staff used SMART solutions to conduct meetings, the company could save up to 15,000 a week. The savings would be realised through reduced travel between their Leeds and Slough offices. Alans own infrastructure design and delivery team of more than 30 people use the SMART technology to generate significant efficiencies from their monthly meetings. Previously, the meeting had to take place on two separate days - one in the North and one in the South - with presenters travelling to both meetings and team members to their respective areas. This meeting is now conducted on one day, involving the entire team simultaneously via the SMART Board.

The reduction in travel, time and associated costs is quite staggering, says Alan. The senior team has gained a day a month in time and, as no one has to travel, the overall productivity of the team is greatly enhanced. Its a win-win situation for everyone. Location is no longer a barrier to collaboration and a similar pattern is being adopted by teams across the O2 business. For three weeks, one project team of eight people had been trying to meet to approve a design spec but diaries simply would not coordinate. Using the SMART solutions to collaborate between Leeds and Slough, the work was completed within half an hour, not only saving time and money but also enabling the team to complete the project three months ahead of schedule.

Microsoft Technology Centre achieves better productivity through using SMART Board interactive whiteboards
information exchanged often involved using cameras to capture drawings and notes written on the dry erase boards in the meeting room. Writing up all of the information from the meeting would frequently take up a day or more in time. This also meant that the meeting room itself could not be used during this time as all the information was still on the dry erase boards. Improving meeting efficiency Microsoft wanted to improve the productivity and effectiveness of these meetings and decided to install a new meeting room solution from SMART Technologies to achieve these aims. They installed a meeting room system that combines SMART Board interactive whiteboards, SMART Meeting Pro Premium software, SMART Bridgit conferencing software, ultra-short-throw projectors and multimedia speakers. SMART Board interactive whiteboards combine the simplicity of a whiteboard with the power of a computer. Together with SMART Meeting Pro Premium software, users can write notes in digital ink over any document, application or website on the interactive whiteboard and save them as a PDF or PPT file. Marked-up pages, revised documents, diagrams, notes and comments can all be captured easily and e-mailed directly to meeting participants. You can also write and save notes directly into applications such as Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat and AutoCAD. Increased sales pipeline The productivity gains in using the interactive whiteboards are significant. The meeting room solution is enabling Microsoft to work more efficiently. Martyn Davis, Manager MTC Reading at Microsoft, explains Before we installed the meeting room solution, we used to spend one full day writing up the notes of a meeting. Now we can accurately record all of the meeting notes automatically on the interactive whiteboard - including all the annotations and notes made during the meeting which wasnt possible using dry erase boards. The information is then saved onto a USB stick and given to the customer immediately after the meeting has finished. Another benefit of the new meeting room solution is that it has greatly improved the utilisation of the MTC. Martyn continues,Using the new solution from SMART Technologies, we have improved the effectiveness and efficiency of our meetings and write ups. Because of this we are now able to fit in additional meetings at the MTC. This has helped our sales teams to meet more customers and thereby increase our sales pipeline. Now when a meeting has finished and the notes from the interactive whiteboard have been captured, it is then cleared of all information and applications closed down making sure that confidential information is not left on view. The room is then ready for the next session.

Using the new solution from SmArt technologies, we have improved the effectiveness and efficiency of our meetings and write ups. Because of this, we are now able to fit in additional meetings at the mtC. this has helped our sales teams to meet more customers and thereby increase our sales pipeline. Martyn Davis,Manager MTC Microsofts Technology Centre (MTC) in Reading, Berkshire hosts hundreds of customers per year - from start up companies to FTSE 100 companies to help them understand and improve their business processes. Depending on the complexity of the problem, the customer meeting could last up to 3 days with Microsofts Developer and Platform Evangelist (DPE) team often discussing products that have not been officially released yet. With up to six people involved in these meetings, gathering the

Enriching the customer experience The new meeting room solution from SMART Technologies has enriched the way in which Microsoft and its customers work together. Previously the meeting rooms had dry erase boards which limited the number of concepts to be introduced and worked on at a time. This also acted as a barrier between the Microsoft Architect and the customer. To overcome this problem, two of the meeting rooms have been installed with two interactive whiteboards creating a multiboarding menvironment to cater for more complex discussions. Using this configuration, both the customer and a member of the Microsoft team can work on the same diagram but on different interactive whiteboards and describe exactly what they require by annotating over it, bringing in new notes from other msources or launching internet sites.

Customers have told Microsoft that they feel more actively involved in the meeting and that the interactive whiteboards help to break down any barriers to creating new ideas. David Brown, Architectural Evangelist at Microsoft comments, The meeting room solution has encouraged a richer collaboration and knowledge-sharing environment with our customers. It has definitely helped us to have a more in-depth understanding of our customer needs.
