BT has created a new team of chief information officers (CIOs) to serving its major corporate and public sector customers.
BT said its CIO team will be ensuring the development of right solutions for its enterprise customers. BT CIO team will spend a significant amount of their time liaising directly with the CIOs of BT’s customers, helping to create a long term shared plan for how technology can improve their business.
The head of CIO team will be Philip Baulch, CIO of BT’s Major Corporate and Public Sector division. The CIO team will focus on delivering the IT and networking requirements of customers from specific sectors, including central government, defense, and corporates.
BT also has chief technology officer and chief operations officer for supporting on complex deals and developing the right propositions to meet customers’ needs in the future.
Reporting into the regional CIO, there will be six new positions focusing on individual geographic areas within the UK, covering Scotland; Northern Ireland; Wales & the South West; London & the South East; the Midlands; and the North of England.
The CIO leads will work with the regional directors to support the new strategy and to develop a shared technology vision in conjunction with customers.
“With the decentralisation of IT spending and ownership, the new roles will focus on specific public sector verticals, as well as major corporate customers, to ensure that our customers continue to view BT as a trusted advisor and technology partner,” said Philip Baulch, CIO Major Corporate & Public Sector at BT.
