BTs Self Service Strategy
• Project Python is an integral part of the IT Data Centres’ self-service strategy where we plan to reduce our service operations
dependency on 3rd parties (vendor & subcon) from 60% to 25% of GMC within three years
• Project Python unlocks our contract addressable base (removes the 10% reduction floor on the HP Edin contract) enabling
TSO to implement the IT Estate initiatives
• Unlocking the addressable base also enables BT to manage breakfix support in line with our the ‘future state technology’ and
key location strategies as follows:

o Within three Years, IT Data Centres plan to fully insource breakfix support for our VDC, containerisation and MI
technologies within our Strategic long term data centres
