The telecommunications expense (management) and billing solution (TEBS) system should be used to order telecommunications services which are not included in the Service Catalog, and which are not part of the VITAnet contracts. TEBS supports VITA's role as a reseller of wire-line and wireless services, and enables it to offer a wide array of services and products. VITA provides added-value to over 800 state and locality customers within the Commonwealth of Virginia in such areas as:
New Orders
To place an order for a TEBS telecommunications product and/or service, please contact your agency's telecommunications coordinator to enter the request through TEBS' Simple Work Order - For User.
Multiple Products Order
When placing orders for multiple lines, circuits, devices, etc., please submit no more than five lines per order (current system constraints restrict orders to this limit--future enhancements are being considered to alleviate this issue). Please contact Linda Brown of the VITA Telecommunications Customer Service (TCS) office at 804-426-9371 if assistance is needed.
