the criminal justice system to address the inefficiencies that exist within the 
current process related to first hearings at Magistrates Courts," said Allan 
Fairley, UK Public Safety Managing Director, Accenture. "The video enabled 
justice solution we are implementing in conjunction with our clients and in 
collaboration with GTL is enabling more efficient and effective hearings to 
take place and is providing benefits for all parties involved, including 
police, courts, prosecution, defence, witnesses and defendants. Ultimately, the 
aim is to extend these benefits out to all relevant parts of the criminal 
justice system."

"Collaborating with GTL allowed us to successfully deploy GTL solutions at over 
40 facilities throughout Australia last year, and now we are moving into the 
next phase of our Offender Digital Strategy," said Kyle Page, General Manager, 
Ericom. "It is a pleasure to work with such a valued partner. We are excited to

collective experience with fellow delegates from the Oceania Region and 
beyond." 

"The BBG and GTL relationship has been successful in implementing inmate 
telephony systems across 40% of Mexico's correctional facilities," said Brian 
Rhys, BBG Managing Director. "This is the result of combining BBG's national 
communications footprint in Mexico with GTL's best-in-class solutions and 
talented support teams. We look forward to many more successes standing side by 
side with GTL." 

"At GTL, cross-pollinating experiences and best practices on a global basis is
