What does ISDN switch off 2025 mean for your business?

In 2020 BT have announced they will stop taking new ISDN orders and will complete switching off the ISDN network in 2025. This article will enable you to understand what the impact of this is upon your business and what options are available to you to ensure your business is well prepared.

What is ISDN?

‘Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a set of communication standards for simultaneous digital transmission of voice, video, data and other network services over the traditional circuits of the public switched telephone network’.

Why are ISDN services being terminated?

ISDN was introduced in the 1980’s allowing both voice and data services to be delivered simultaneously. For the technology and services at the time, it served its purpose very well and continued to do so for many years. Now we’re well into the 21st century, technology has moved on and old telephone solutions are lagging behind the alternatives in an increasingly fast paced digital world.

What does this mean for businesses who currently use ISDN?

Quite simply it means that now is the time to review your organisations approach to data services provision in order to avoid the negative consequences in lost revenue that will be experienced if you do not have an alternative network service in place come 2025.

It can take time to review your strategy and understand what the right option is for your business going forwards therefore it is never too early to start planning. Read on to learn all you need to know to ensure you do not end up scrambling to get a solution in place at the last minute, a solution that ultimately might not be right for your business.

So, what options do you have?

If you are currently on an ISDN phone contract now is the right time to start exploring the option of switching to VoIP and SIP technologies.

What is VoIP?

Voice over Internet Protocol, also called IP telephony, is a method and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol networks such as the Internet.

What are SIP technologies?

The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a signalling protocol that is used by technology products for creating session-oriented connections between two or more endpoints in an IP network. These endpoints could be IP telephones, instant messaging clients or a collaborative multimedia conference application.

Whilst the transition may seem complicated and a big disruption to your business, it doesn’t need to be. With upfront planning and budget allocation we can help make the transition as smooth as possible. As always, it’s important to take into consideration some of the below points:

Can your phone system support VoIP?

The latest desk phones already support this technology, however, if yours doesn’t now is the time to upgrade.  Luckily a lot of telephony and IT solution providers offer options to roll handsets into a new contract. You can also look to trade in old hardware for new handsets in order to recoup residual value.

With the switch to cloud becoming ever more popular and feature rich it might be the time to ditch physical handsets for soft phones, replace on premise exchanges with cloud hosted systems or embrace collaboration applications which allow telecommunication integration. There are many options and we can help you identify which is best for your business.

Is my network strong enough to meet the demands of a VoIP phone system?

Having a strong and reliable bandwidth connection is important when switching to voice rather than the traditional circuit-switched telephone system. You don’t want to invest the time and money into switching to a new solution but being let down by poor audio quality due to a poor connection.

We can help you determine how much we predict you will need and work with you to achieve the high Quality of Service your business needs.

So, what’s next?

Now you better understand the impact the ISDN switch off can have on your business and what options are available to you, the next step is to review how your business consumes voice, video and data services now versus what how you anticipate that changing in the future.

At XMA, we are specialists in this field and guide organisations of all sizes and in all sectors to make the right choices. Our wealth of knowledge and team of technical experts can guide you through your decision-making journey, from designing and implementing your solution all the way through to helping you to manage your new network.

Is employee wellbeing a victim of hot-desking success?

The rise in flexible working has been steady over a number of years now, with each new technological development allowing more freedom to managers and employees – but only if that technology is utilised correctly.

Improvements in technology have enabled businesses to embrace flexibility – but who benefits?

Companies are certainly seeing gains.

  • More people needing less desks brings big savings on overheads, as well as easier and quicker onboarding.
  • Recruiting by skill-set rather than geography is now possible with businesses no longer confined to the local population to find their perfect match.
  • New technologies and cloud storage mean systems and digital objects aren’t tied to a specific location, so their distribution can be easier to manage, as well as providing flexibility for employees.

And there are benefits to employees as well of course.

  • Widening your social network has been cited as a benefit of hot-desking, as it naturally encourages the growth of relationships outside an original team. Employees will gain a better understanding of the skills and knowledge of their co-workers, while also growing their understanding of the organisations’ bigger picture.
  • As fixed desks are replaced with a more flexible working environment, these spaces might allow for relaxed break-out areas for brainstorming, quiet areas for concentration and meeting areas locally. This brings the opportunity to design a space around the needs of workers and their working practice.
  • And of course, the flexibility of choosing your own workspace will benefit many employees.

It’s a win-win then?

Maybe not, the news isn’t all positive.

While workspace flexibility and increased social interaction are improvements for some workers, others are suffering with the loss of security and sense of belonging having their own space gave them.

Research by Brickendon Digital (in the Facilities Management Journal) reports key concerns are:

  • The health and safety considerations of setting up a workstation to meet individual requirements.
  • Stresses caused by not knowing what seating will be available in the office.
  • Concerns about isolation and losing a sense of belonging in the work environment.

The Open Sourced Workplace also identifies a number of negative impacts of hot-desking reporting that many employees, particularly older workers, women and introverts, struggle with it.

  • The potential for disturbance means many employees find focus and concentration difficult.
  • The lack of privacy can impact employee productivity.

So, what is the answer?

Organisations need to understand their workforce and what makes them tick.

While financial concerns and productivity are key, so too are the needs of employees which will impact on every aspect of business running.

Technology can certainly be utilised to ease some of the concerns identified in these reports.

  • Booking solutions can remove the worry that a desk won’t be available by allowing advanced reservation.
  • These solutions should also be smart enough to ensure a proximity to team members.
  • Meeting room booking systems should highlight the rooms features as well as showing the rooms availability, location and utilise location services to provide directions.

We’re used to smart technology in our homes meaning that we have information and access to systems when we’re not there, the systems we use at work should be at least as smart.

Innovation across workspaces will need solutions which integrate and solve real pain points for real people – any strategy must stem from a wider business focus on employee engagement and productivity.

Find out more

While hot-desking offers opportunities for improvement for companies and employees, there are concerns for employee wellbeing which shouldn’t be ignored.

Smarter, more innovative, solutions will give organisations the opportunity to enhance workspaces by ensuring they work for individuals and the way they work.

Modern Collaboration for your business

Trying to get everyone in one place for a meeting or important discussion is an ache and pain every business experiences… and as your business continues to expand, the higher the urgency for effective collaboration tools.

 

If you are a modern business, you likely have remote workers. Remote workers can be those who operate from home, or are often on the road for customer visits. This can make communication a real challenge, certainly for larger organisations. Without effective communication you are more likely to misunderstand information, miss deadlines and tasks can remain incomplete.

However, there are so many technologies available to your business that empowers communication and brings employees and customers together, no matter where you are in the world. Collaboration tools are now an essential part of your working day; these tools can help to open doors of communication, and provide a seamless experience of file sharing, video conversations, and project management. No matter where you are in the world, it can feel like your colleague or customer is sat right there next to you.

We know what you’re thinking. “But there are so many collaboration tools out there, how do I know which one is right for my business? Where do I even begin to look?!” But don’t worry, we have provided a breakdown of the best collaboration tools, and what the key benefits are for each. This will allow you to see the features of every platform, no matter the operating system, and make a better informed decision for your organisation.

Brexit Committee Update September 2019

Brexit Committee News Update – September Update

Brexit Committee News Update

It would be easy to spend time speculating on what might happen as a result of the recent tumultuous events in Parliament – but XMA intend to focus on the practical measures the business is taking for our customers and suppliers. Most relevantly, the business is still preparing for a ‘no-deal’ Brexit on 31 October 2019 and ensuring we are as prepared as we can be for this date – whether or not there is an extension.

Imports

Most XMA suppliers are still in charge of their own delivery to XMA warehouses or to end-users directly. Many are finding new shipping/delivery routes into the UK ensuring that they might navigate delays at port of entry as best they can. The government have increasingly insisted that they are ready and will not create delays by stopping goods for customs checks on the border in the UK. XMA are working with all our major suppliers to smooth such entry procedures and understand their methods of shipping, including collecting goods from port on their behalf.

However, a number of vendors have changed their terms from DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) where the vendor (seller) is responsible for import duties/taxes and customs clearance to DAP (Delivered At Place) where XMA, the buyer, will be responsible for payment of duty and clearance. This may add cost to the product and customers should be aware that such terms have changed if they are buying directly from vendors. XMA are well prepared for this extra administration and will advise customers accordingly at the time of order. However, a key element of this extra cost will depend on tariff rates (see below).

Exports

Through our parent company Westcoast , XMA has access to an outstanding International Shipping team able to assist customers with all their shipping requirements outside the UK. The CBI are convinced that European markets are not ready for Brexit and will penalise/fine British exporters that do not submit the correct paperwork. Hence XMA’s main work has been centered around producing a commercial invoice on shipments acceptable to European customs detailing the appropriate commodity codes and country of origin where required. XMA terms will also be DAP and our goal is to take responsibility for your shipments up to Proof of Delivery stage ensuring the process is as streamlined as possible providing our usual excellent service.

Tariffs

In all, whilst XMA and Westcoast stock over 100,000 different skus, there are 570 different 10digit commodity codes – the majority of which currently do NOT attract any tariff to EU countries or most other export markets. This can change at any time and recent conversations between the USA and China show that the US are due to impose tariffs on technology products manufactured in China on 19 December 2019. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-49644325). This is not the case in the UK but demonstrates that our industry cannot be complacent and assume that exports will never attract a tariff. These tariffs will be our customers’ responsibility to account for but we will able to advise customers on such tariff rates.

  • Provide an accurate quote
  • Advice of any country rules
  • Advice of any vendor rules
  • Gaining an understanding and confirmation in writing of use of goods
  • Provide all documentation specific to the country/product
  • Manage the process from quote stage to delivery
  • Set expectation on occasions end-user may see XMA’s pricing
  • Details of dangerous/dual use goods
  • Certificates of conformity if needed
  • C88/SAD Form normally completed by our courier
  • Any license requirements achieved through SPIRE (government’s export licensing system – https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spire-online-export-licensing-guidance/using-spire-to-get-an-export-licence)
Customer Responsibilities
  • Ensure their end user is able to import into country of destination
  • Ensure their end users are aware that THEY must cover customs duties
  • Provide correct end user details – full address and contact information
  • To advise what the end use of the goods will be
  • Import declarations

The important point is that XMA will help all customers with their international shipping requirements so please do not hesitate to speak to your account manager who will engage our shipping team.

Ireland

There have been some positive developments in shipping to Ireland since our last Brexit news. Every single shipment will attract an admin fee of €25 making single parcel deliveries uneconomic. As a result, XMA will be working with our logistics provider to ship all goods overnight from the UK on a single manifest and redistribute them from a bonded warehouse in the Irish Republic. This may add some cost and time to Irish deliveries but these will not be prohibitive.

Inventory

Our parent company Westcoast will once again be taking in approximately one month’s extra inventory for certain vendors during October hoping that this will sufficient to alleviate any short term issues arising. Clearly this is not a long term fix but Westcoast’s new 340k sqft warehouse in Andover – which should complete its fit out in October – demonstrates our commitment to hold more stock where required either pre-sale or post-sale. Our offer will include outsourced logistics and configuration facilities.

HPI’s Disclaimer for Commodity Codes

Please see what HP’s disclaimer for commodity code accuracy is. Expect all vendors and suppliers to adopt a similar disclaimer.

HP Inc. provides this data for informational purposes only. Classifications are subject to change and HP Inc. does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that the information is complete, accurate, or up-to-date. The information provided is not intended to constitute legal advice or to be used as a substitute for specific legal advice. Under the US Export Regulations, the US Government assigns your organization or client, as exporter/importer of record, the responsibility for determining the correct classification of any item at the time of export/import. In some cases there are restrictions that apply to exports based on the product, the end-user, the end-use, or the country of destination, and an export license or other authorization may be required prior to shipment. The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security provides a web site and can assist you with determining the need for a license or with information regarding where to obtain help prior to exportation. The URL is: http://www.bis.doc.gov.

Conclusion

Whilst it may be easy to worry about what might happen, particularly in light of the recent publication of Operation Yellowhammer papers, XMA are focused on helping all our customers and suppliers through the changes ahead. Our couriers have employed more staff and implemented systems and XMA have added layers of expertise, warehouse space and code/tariff checks to manage through predicted eventualities. Keep Calm and Sell On!

FAQ’s

How do you identify/manage controlled/dual use products?
Before we ship anything, we assess who the end user is and what the end use of the goods will be. We already expect the end user in country to complete an end user undertaking.

How do you prevent shipments to denied parties?
Such risks are highlighted to us by our carriers. We will then contact relevant customers to obtain further details and plan a way forward if possible.

Can you help with Export Licence Applications?
If the end-use is for military purposes, for example, we have the capability to apply for a licence through the correct platform.

Record keeping and audits?
We obtain the proof of export and POD for every shipment we do outside the UK. We conduct internal audits frequently and are audited externally.

Brexit Committee Update August 2019

Brexit Committee News Update – August Update

Brexit Committee News Update

Given that we have experienced a period of lull whilst the new government takes shape – the direction of travel now looks clearer – we are heading for a ‘No Deal’ Brexit at pace and hence all advice from government and business organisations is to prepare for a hard Brexit.
Seeing as XMA were making such preparations in March – management’s thinking is much the same and our Brexit committee met earlier to set out what we must do internally and to advise our customers on steps they can take to mitigate the effects on their business.

CBI & BCoC Advice

The CBI has produced a long document setting out the effects and the preparedness of the UK, the EU and the UK & EU together. A copy can be found here. In essence, it shows that the UK is better prepared than the EU but both are woefully under-prepared for 31st October. In addition, the fact that the new Brexit day comes at the height of the Black Friday and peak retail periods, poses more dangers for logistics businesses.

The British Chamber of Commerce has also set out a neat Risk Register as an update to their Business Brexit checklist.

This simple checklist will act as a good guide to ensure that XMA and our customers are considering the right areas to prepare for the difficult time ahead. Most areas are rated red.

People

Leadership is important here and XMA are ensuring that all EU nationals and their families employed by XMA are assisted in complying with the EU settled status scheme. We urge our customers and vendors to do the same. Perhaps the one area that the new government has softened is immigration, with no talk of reducing immigration but merely being able to control it.

Funding

XMA do not receive EU funds but this appears more positive for those that do.

Tax

It appears that the UK government will introduce a relaxed approach to VAT deferment on imports and exports for a period not less than 1 year. This will reduce any cash flow burden on XMA and hence our customers.

Regulation

Given that XMA and our parent company (Westcoast’s) goods are also sold in Europe, we do not anticipate any disruption to supply as a result of either UK or EU regulatory divergence post Brexit. Clearly this could change in the future but should not affect trade in the short term.

Data

The UK government will impose a limit on mobile roaming charges incurred in EU countries. This is not the case for EU tariffs in the UK. Data governance under GDPR has been adopted by UK law and is currently EU compliant. A ‘No Deal’ scenario is unlikely to alter EU data compliance although businesses should be alert for divergence.

Trade

There are still no tariffs anticipated on almost all goods and services sold by XMA under WTO rates at present. Clearly XMA will keep this under review in light of US/China tensions. However, neither the UK government nor the EU are likely to impose import tariffs on IT products.

Borders

This is where a ‘No Deal’ situation will have the biggest impact on trade. Whilst the British government are increasing spending on ports and customs officials as well as promising speedy entrance of goods from the EU, imports will still be dependent upon accurate paperwork. The Westcoast Group are spending time ensuring that appropriate information including commodity codes are available on shipping documentation. At present over 90% of codes have been collected and systems are being updated to ensure they are available when required. The EU have made no such arrangements and hence may well levy fines for inaccurate paperwork as they do for imports from outside the EU today.

Despite all the plans, delays at port are still anticipated by every logistics company that XMA have spoken to. XMA and Westcoast’s management are working with vendors to increase stock holding over the difficult peak period to avoid short term shortages. In addition, our new warehouse in Andover will more than double capacity and allow for increased stock holding. However, we urge customers to take the following steps:
i) Engage with XMA account managers to predict large roll-out orders in November/December to give earliest visibility to ensure goods are available in the UK.
ii) Switch selling from Configure-To-Order (CTO) stock built in vendor factories to channel inventory as soon as possible
iii) Where this is not possible, ensure lead times are managed with end-users to factor in delays at port

Ireland

Assuming that the UK exits the EU without a deal, the Irish market will be affected significantly given the border complexities. Westcoast’s warehouse in Tallaght is only sufficient for roll-out management and Westcoast do not anticipate making this into a fully managed warehouse at present – i.e. most goods will still be shipped from the UK and will be subject to border delays. Irish customers should engage with their XMA account managers to ensure stock held in Tallaght is forecast and distribution can be managed effectively.

FAQ’s

EORI – Westcoast do have a UK EORI number which will be sufficient for all declarations
AEO – Westcoast have not applied for this status as management consider this will not be effective in speeding up customs procedures
TSP – Westcoast have now received this accreditation from HMRC
Warranty – No vendor has as yet amended their warranty terms so we can anticipate that warranty procedures will be the same as currently available post-Brexit
VAT – Exports on goods shipped from the UK will not bear VAT from the UK as currently
Tariffs – Where they exist will be applied on the full price of the goods (i.e. before discounts)
