Matt and Sean work on MyBT
Wednesday August 13th 2008. Posted: 09:30
A BT Global Services graduate from Leeds has been working with BT Design to implement new features for graduates on the MyBT website.
MyBT is a BT-wide portal that gives BT people an easy way to bring their IT tools and information together in one place. It can be used inside or outside BT, from any PC that has a browser and an internet connection. As part of a drive to encourage graduates to use the system, graduates Matt Reeves from Leeds and Sean Driscoll from Birmingham have been working on several enhancements. Matt said: “We want graduates to become an early-adopter base, and champion MyBT’s uptake through the business.” Richard Finlay, of BTGS graduate programme professional services, said: “Our generation uses these functions on a daily basis and we are spread over various projects and locations throughout the UK. As a graduate community, we are therefore in a position to perpetuate other members of our various teams to start using the system and in effect create a network usage effect.” The improvements worked upon by Matt and Sean include a centralised knowledge management feature, drawing together graduate community knowledge including LiveLink areas, feeds from graduate and internal news sites, to create an example of best-practice within the business. They have also added enterprise social networking - user profile and graduate network community pages with forums/discussion boards, which can allow social networking using MyBT (similar to Facebook). Sean said: “MyBT has been in existence for more than six months, but with graduate input, financial backing and support from our managers, we are hoping that it will be championed by graduates at the end of the summer - the new intake will be introduced to the portal as part of their induction in October.”
