To ensure their hotels remain a leading provider of quality accommodations in the UK hospitality sector, the Fairview Hotel Collection decided to refurbish and update their hotels. As part of this, their aging communications infrastructure needed to be given a thorough rehaul in a short timeframe. Not only did the Fairview Collection want to update the legacy PBX servers operating at their many locations, they desired a uniform, integrated system that would connect between rooms and locations seamlessly. Additionally, they wanted to ensure their connection to the outside world was not interrupted with the upcoming ISDN switch-off across the UK and the European Union. To accomplish this, they needed a modern VoIP-based communications infrastructure. Last but certainly not least, they desired both modern Unified Communications (UC) features and effective cost control over their communications infrastructure across all thirteen locations

The hotels’ users immediately appreciated the change from their outdated legacy phone system. With the PBXact and FreePBX architecture, the hotels have a uniformity of communications systems that they did not have previously. And using the PBXact/FreePBX platform, the hotels are able to be on the same service plans but customize by extension which features are needed. The owners and managers were very pleased by the pricing of the hardware, with the total price of their systems being much lower than products offered by competitors. The IT team at the hotels really appreciated how easy it was to get in touch with Sangoma to get questions answered fast and solutions to problems arising in various locations as multiple hotels were worked on at the same time. Overall, the Fairview Hotel Collection, with Sangoma, was able to elevate their communications and keep guest satisfaction at an all time high while saving money and gaining access to the features and support they did not have on their legacy business phone system.
