State & Local Government -
Reduce Costs
Data
From local departments to large state agencies, governments must deliver services more efficiently. To streamline operations, they need to deploy advanced applications that manage resources, constituent relationships, and administrative processes. They require intranets and extranets to support e-governance and online transactions. They must also break down information silos to better share data with constituents, vendors, and each other. For such improvements, governments need high-speed networks that are standards-based, affordable, and inexpensive to manage. Their solutions must be cost-effective for sites of all sizes, from main facilities to small offices. They also must be high-value, long-term investments that can scale and adapt to changing needs.
  
Voice
Even in the Internet age, governments still need telephony to communicate internally and with constituents and other stakeholders. However, the costs of voice services are substantial and recurring. Conventional PBX systems are difficult to manage, often requiring high-priced service technicians for even minor tasks like adding, moving, or changing phones. Intra-agency calls can incur long-distance charges, and productivity-enhancing features like call centers are expensive to deploy. Additionally, traditional phone systems are very expensive to expand. These platforms simply fail to meet the new model of efficient, streamlined, and integrated governance. To reduce costs, state and local governments need more effective telephony solutions.
Wireless
To contain expenses, state and local governments must add users and expand networks quickly and inexpensively. They need to link buildings without laying cabling under streets or sidewalks. They must be able to provision historical and hard-to-wire facilities with high-speed connectivity. They also need to supply small offices with cost-effective network and Internet access that is simple to operate. Additionally, as employees become increasingly mobile, they need to access applications like enterprise databases and administrative systems, as well as messaging, with laptop computers and handheld devices.
