Local Government Reform continues to reshape your service delivery. Effective communication infrastructure has never been more critical.

Councils like your are seeking ways to modernise telephony, streamline contact-handling, reduce operational overheads, and improve the citizen experience without overcomplication.

What on the agenda?
Join Beckett to discover how you can bring together legacy telephony estates, remove PBX dependencies, and improve responsiveness using a Microsoft Teams–centric model – enhanced by AI-powered call routing.

  • Why Teams‑Enabled SIP Trunks? SIP with native Teams integration:
    • Supports your LGR consolidation.
    • Delivers instant cost savings
    • Enables flexible migration from fragmented legacy systems.
  • Introducing the VOCA AI Receptionist
    See how conversational AI automates switchboard tasks, handles high call volumes, and improves citizen satisfaction –  without compromising on human oversight.
  • Security, resilience and compliance
    Discover how Becketts’ platform ensures PSN‑aligned security, robust failover, and adherence to public sector compliance requirements.
  • Real‑world LGR use cases
    Practical examples of how other organisations have unified their communication estates, improved call handling, and reduced operational pressures (during and after reorganisation).
  • Live demonstration
    A walkthrough of the VOCA AI Receptionist in action, including natural‑language call routing and Teams‑based voice delivery.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of:

  • How LGR organisations can modernise voice services with minimal disruption
