news
information research
One of the unsung jewels in FTI’s crown
is our outstanding access to a wide range
of online resources, which can be of
invaluable assistance in your work.
Curated by our information
Research Manager Chris Finch,
we are now able to access over
100 databases, newspapers,
journals and periodicals,
on both a subscription and
pay as you go basis.
All of the resources are listed
on Atlas (on the Information
Resources page), and are
easily searchable across both
service and industry lines.
They range from the large news
aggregators, such as Bloomberg,
Factiva and Thomson Reuters,
to niche services such as
Gaming Intelligence, which
focuses on the online gaming
sector, or De Havilland,
which monitors news out of
Brussels and Parliament.
We also have access to a
range of market research
publishers, including those
which focus on a range
of industries such as
Datamonitor and
Euromonitor, as well as
specialist industry
research agencies.
If you would like to access
any of these resources, or
training on how to use them,
please speak with Chris
who will be delighted to help.

mobile
upgrade
In early 2016, our
employees in London will
enjoy a greatly enhanced
corporate mobile phone
service, thanks to our
IT team who have
agreed a new contract
with provider EE.
The new deal provides for a number
of significant improvements in our
daily phone usage, including:
• An end to unexpectedly high
bills: A number of segments
have experienced considerable
‘bill shock’ in recent months
when employees were roaming
overseas. The new contract
will in principle stop this from
happening in the future.
• Greater data bundle and
better handsets. The previous
contract was not ‘smart device’
friendly as it was designed for
the old BlackBerry models.
Now everyone will get 8GB of
national data usage per month,
which will allow us to give
smart devices to each user.
• Pooled data when roaming:
We will be able to pool our
international roaming bundle
across all employees, which
will enable us to flatten costs
within and across segments.
• Technology fund: EE have
provided a considerable
technology fund that will
enable us to replace our aging
mobile estate in London.
• Mobile management portal:
You will now be able to access a
new portal to view monthly spend,
allocate relevant costs back to
clients and upgrade to the latest
mobile devices when appropriate.
In the coming weeks we will work
with EE to replace all of the older
devices currently still in use,
and eligible employees will be
able to choose from the latest
BlackBerry models on the market
such as Classic, Priv or Leap.
This new contract represents a
significant step forward in our
IT infrastructure. Not only will it
benefit all segments by keeping
the costs as low and predictable
as possible, but it will also allow
our business to be fully mobileenabled
as we continue to expand.
If you have any further
questions, please speak with
our IT Director Mark Johnson.
