Connecting the Games – The provision of the IT and Communications Network for the London 2012 Olympics
 |
Billed as 'The Greatest Show on Earth' – the 2012 Olympic Games is the ultimate 'right first time project'. BT is the official communications provider for the 2012 Games, responsible for providing IT networks, IP telephony and broadcast networks to over 90 separate locations.
This presentation tells the story of the planning for the Games, from supporting the bid in 2005 through to preparing for the opening ceremony on 27th July 2012.
The presentation will explain how the programme has been broken down into planning, design, test and delivery phases in readiness for the Games. It will also cover management of risk, and some of the mitigations used, as well as discussing the challenges of delivery and lessons learnt to ensure that the world can enjoy what has been billed as 'The most connected games ever'.
