LISTENING 1

Presenting and IS department

Interviewer: IS manager:

Could you tell me a little about the way your IS department is organised? OK. I’ll try. Our organisation is really split into 2 dimensions. One is linked to geographical regions, and the other is linked to the technology we cover. From a geographical point of view, we’re organised like most large companies. There are 3 main geographical regions; Europe, the Americas and the Greater Asia Region. There are sub-divisions within these regions. The European sector for example is sub-divided into 4 areas, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North Europe and the Mediterranean. Okay. Like you say, it’s a fairly traditional organisation. What about the technical dimension? From the technological point of view ... well, I’m not very familiar with the way specific applications are handled, because I’m part of the global infrastructure team. This team is broken down into 3 or 4 areas, (…… as sometimes 2 areas are mixed together). Generally speaking, there is the Work Station and Help Desk Area, the Server Area and the Telecom Area. …. And these areas are broken down again into different specialised units. Okay so far. ……. Perhaps you could describe one of these areas in a little more detail. Ehm… If I focus on the way the telecom area is organised, for example. ……. There are 4 specialised units. The data network, that’s your personal computer with internet access, connection to one or more servers…eh .well connection to whatever device there is on the network. We also have the voice network, everything that’s related to voice. The voice area includes, of course, the phone system but also what we call the conference call bridge, mobile... mobile phones, and also the link with videoconferencing and IP phones. Sorry … What’s the difference between conference call bridges and videoconferencing? Well, Conference Call Bridge is audio only. …. There can be a certain number of participants together in the same virtual room, and everyone can speak at the same time……well, hopefully not everyone at the same time. Yes, it could get really confusing. Yeah, but usually it’s OK. We are really used to doing this as we spend a lot of time in meetings, and when I say meetings, most of the time I mean virtual ones. It’s cost saving. So, for this we use tools like conference call bridges; either inhouse devices which we manage ourselves or tools we buy outside... sometimes we buy the service outside. Eh,…… I’ve spoken about the Data Network and the Voice Network, there is also the External Access Network. This is the core LAN network with connection to the outside
