Government Services

Here is a no risk, low cost way for Government Departments to reach the public and to be seen to support efforts to reduce poverty and increase opportunities for all members of society. Suitable for OW and ODSP recipients as well as those that are poor or at risk, the Talk2One system does not require a link to any Government database however the system generates detailed call volume reports and is survey enabled allowing the system to be modified to suit the needs of the members.

Region-centric Implementation

Each region is assessed using the local LICO numbers as a rough guideline to establish the overall capacity required. The Region, at its own discretion, is free to decide at what level to begin and can add to the capacity as demand increases.

No risk or development fees – expands on demand

Talk2One has taken the risk of developing and refining the service which can be expanded as demand increases based on blocks of capacity. Prices are fixed with no variables to deal with. Depending on the LICO numbers, Regions may take blocks of 500 or 1,000 capacity to start and add further blocks of 500 as demand dictates.

Pool of Capacity – fixed costs

Rather than charging by individual membership, which can vary from month to month, Talk2One’s rates are set based on line capacity or the number of people that can access the system simultaneously over a fixed time period. It is expected that people will be exiting the system once they are stable thus leaving room for others to use the service.

Fully measurable results

All activity in the system is measurable including call volumes, client profiles, member surveys identifying trends and demands from the membership. This kind of proof of performance helps justify the service and allows for changes to be made to meet changing conditions.

Tangible method of fighting poverty

Many ideas have been suggested and tried as ways to reduce poverty. While not the silver bullet everyone is looking for, the Talk2One service does offer a tangible and measurable tool to fight poverty.

Universal applications including rural and remote communities

Talk2One services can be set anywhere there are telephone connections available. This fully redundant system has a national footprint and operates using the same platform as the major Telcos.

Does not link to any Government database

The Talk2One system does not require access to any existing Government or agency data base. Statistical data can be sent to Government departments and agencies on a monthly basis upon request.

Commercial General Liability Insurance

The Talk2One service is covered by $2M in general liability insurance protection and $1M in Errors and Omissions insurance for each Region.
