Why change?
What’s the rationale for the change?
• It is proposed that from 1st October 2012, Paul Taylor’s Exchange Infrastructure
and Build team, will focus solely on UK exchange infrastructure plan and build.
• Therefore Mark Williamson will be taking a leading role in managing the Global
teams.
• It is proposed to combine teams with a similar focus managing the Global estate.
• This is purely an organisational lift and shift; there are no efficiencies associated
with this change and there is no other work that is in scope.
What the team does now and what will they be doing once the move takes
place?
• Currently these 20 people design, plan, build and operate the Global
Accommodation Infrastructure (Power, Cooling, Physical security) in BT `s Node
Sites and Data Centres outside UK.
• The Front Office team take care for the Footprint delivery for all Sites across the
Globe outside UK. When they move to Mark Williamson’s team, they will be doing
exactly the same work just in a different part of BT. There are no changes to job
descriptions.
