The power of two
Benefits are already flowing from O2 Airwave’s successful acquisition last year of Decision Focus – the provider of TETRA network management solutions and business process improvement consultancy. Both companies have rolled up their sleeves and have set about proving just why the deal was such good news for the two parties and their customers. In the words of founding partner of Decision Focus Martin Thomas, “it’s a case of showing that two plus two equals five”.
Early collaboration has focused on mobile data in particular. Airwave’s Strategy and Analysis Manager Les Shortall explains: “We want to help customers to get maximum value from O2 Airwave services and solutions. For example, mobile data solutions can benefit customers in many ways, enhancing responsiveness, reducing paperwork and helping them become more productive at the frontline. But the value is often maximised only when customer business processes are adapted to make best use of the new mobile solutions. Decision Focus have a lot of experience and capability in these areas and Airwave customers will now have access to this expertise”.
Meanwhile, Decision Focus are continuing to extend their range of software applications designed to help customers manage their mobile assets with the launch of People Manager and Sepura Link, and customer take-up continues to grow. Recently, North Yorkshire Police and Dorset Constabulary became the 43rd and 44th UK Police Forces to purchase both Fleet Mapper and Radio Manager, the Decision Focus integrated suite of TETRA radio provisioning and management applications.
