ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 19th JANUARY 2010

Question

What was the cost of telephone services for the Treasury and Resources Department for each of the last 3 years in terms of -

  1. TelephoneRental
  2. TelephoneCalls
  3. Other services (Broadband/mobile rental chargesetc)

Answer

The Treasury and Resources Department is billed by Jersey Telecoms for telephone services, in respect of both landlines and mobile telephones, and by Cable & Wireless in respect of Blackberrys.

JD  Edwards  is  configured  to  provide  reports  useful  to  the  Department  in  managing  and  monitoring communication systems. Although the reports are not designed to give the information in the format requested in the question, the following year on year data is available:

Total

2007

£14,873.00

£28,621.66

£43,494.66

2008

£39,908.36

2009

£14,105.00

£26,456.71

£40,561.71

Charges for our external landline calls are generated by "Ringmaster" and this allows the States to recharge the Department internally for our calls. It should be noted that total savings in excess of £175,000 (States-wide) have been made since the introduction of the VOIP telephony system.

Mobile Rental/Calls and Other Services include JT mobile and Cable & Wireless Blackberry rental and calls, and ADSL and ISDN (Broadband) costs.

Please note that the 2009 costs are as per our accounting records as at 15th January, and are subject to final review/audit.
