Shaw Trust
Shaw Trust, a charity in the UK that assists the handicapped to obtain work, is tying up with virtual network operator (VNO) Sirocom. The £2.5 m deal is for a period of four years and will link around 200 work-from-home employees and 1,300 office workers. The charity may also move its intra-company communication traffic to VoIP. Currently, it is using the PSTN. The charity is growing at a rapid rate; the deal with Sirocom has resulted in savings and also improved its ability to scale. The move is also significant as the UK government has stated its desire of curtailing its contribution to the incapacity benefits. Currently, the government expenditure on incapacity benefits is approximately £12.8bn.--
