VCA’s Local Government clients include:

“Very rarely do you see a council’s telecommunications managed to its optimum potential,” said Scott Hammond, Sales Manager for VCA. “Often the first thing a new person wants to do is order more lines. It’s all in the structuring of their network. Many councils have far too many lines that aren’t tolling, therefore they are paying too much.”

As an introductory offer to Local Government Focus readers, VCA is running a promotion where councils can take part in having their telecommunications assessed free of charge. VCA will provide a network analysis to determine just how much your council is spending.

For further information contact Scott Hammond at VCA on (02) 9810 8155.
