Business challenge

BT is one of the world’s leading providers of communication services. To facilitate IT procurement throughout the company, BT has developed a catalogue of standard products. As projectors are regularly used throughout the company, it is important that they are reliable to avoid performance problems in client meetings. To minimise the risks of performance operational issues, BT decided to add specific projector models to its technology catalogue.

Computacenter solution

To ascertain the most appropriate projector for BT’s purposes, the company partnered with Computacenter’s specialist Audio-visual Solutions Unit. Computacenter ran a comprehensive evaluation, and provided data on industry trends, product roadmaps and support to enable BT to make an informed decision. Following the benchmarking exercise, BT selected Epson projectors, which will be sourced on an ongoing basis through Computacenter.

Results

Through the partnership with Computacenter, BT is able to leverage its purchasing power, which has resulted in a reduction of nearly a third in the cost of each projector. In addition to competitive pricing, BT has been able to eliminate projector hire costs. By standardising the technology BT has also been able to simplify IT support, and is now able to offer enhanced meeting facilities for staff.
