About

What is Networking Tasmania?

The Telstra Networking Tasmania (NT) Agreements are arrangements between the Tasmanian Government and Telstra for the provision of Managed Data Services to the Government. The agreements govern the provision of services for the Tasmanian State Government and other associated customers who have outsourced their network communications and value added services to Telstra. The successful design, operation and maintenance of a managed network, particularly in an environment of rapidly changing business needs, is a highly specialised task. It requires knowledge and skills available only to organisations with extensive experience in this field. Government entities in Tasmania can continue to gain access to these skills through Telstra NT services.

The NT agreements allow internal IT resources to be freed up for the important tasks of developing and supporting the applications that are unique to the organisation’s situation. The agreements are far more than just a managed network however. They link together customer sites via optional connection methods, coupled with value added service and provide a one stop shop for the management of government communication needs. Together, NT enable business objectives to be met by providing access to your network via:

Core Network Services

Who is it for?

Networking Tasmania primarily operates for State Government inner budget Agencies. These are referred to as “anchor customers”. Government Statutory bodies, Government Business Enterprises, local councils, schools and other customers (as agreed) can also access our services. These are referred to as “non anchor customers”.

What services
do I need?

This may seem confusing so we offer consultancy in the selection of the most appropriate Networking Tasmania services to meet your business objectives. Your Telstra Account Manager, supported by Telstra Communications Consultants, are available to help you develop your business objectives – and there is no charge for this consultancy. The Team section of the Networking Tasmania web site contains the current list of Account Managers and their direct customer responsibilities. This page will be updated as changes to account portfolios occur.

Who manages
my services?

In all cases, Networking Tasmania services are managed by the dedicated Customer Care Centre. This centre provides a single point of contact for day to day issues such as adds, moves, changes, faults and billing enquiries, or simply advice.
