| | Proactive Management Approach Can Improve House Telecommunications Services And Operations |
 | | HIR's Fiscal Year (FY) 1997 telecommunications budget was approved at $8.2 million, which included funds for existing telecommunications operations and services, as well as new initiatives, such as migrating to a network-centric computing environment, creating a paper-less environment, and upgrading the telecommunications system. |
 | | Telecommunications service costs, such as local exchange, voice conferencing, and private lines, were reasonably priced when the services were initially contracted but, due to market competition, can be further reduced as discussed in this report. |
 | | Take the initiative to fully inform the CHO on important telecommunications projects and activities to ensure that project objectives, actions, and ramifications are sufficiently understood as well as proactively follow-up on the status of all proposed projects and activities. |
