Operational success for our hotelier clients with VoIP and Unified Communications
Our customer in the hotel industry, offers 80 bedrooms, leisure facilities and a conference centre catering to 200 delegates. The hotel employs over 50 members of staff and is part of a chain of 3 hotels.
The company’s Issues : Refurbishment highlighting the lack of collaboration and declining customer service
The Hotel was going through the process of major refurbishment and was looking for a new communications solution that could overhaul their everyday processes. They were finding increasing that their phone system was old and not being as efficient in the operations as they should be. Staff could not communicate and collaborate effectively. There were also no ways of recording calls to improve levels of service nor was there any voicemail so if a call was missed so was a potential booking.
Our solutions : Unified Communications with our VoIP Phone systems
Our aim was to
- Improve efficiency
- Make it quicker and easier for staff to communicate and collaborate internally
- The ability to record calls or see where calls had been missed.
- Increase margin through more direct bookings secured by phone or web enquiries
We implemented the UCP 600 iPECS Unified Communications which has the capability to use voice, video, instant messaging, conference calls and visual voicemail, all on one simple and easy to use platform. UC is designed to be intuitive and provide your team easy to use tools and features. This meant that hotel staff can now work more efficiently and communicate better, leading to better guest service.
Combining that with the iCall Suite allows the Hotel to produce proactive reports and chase up missed calls, leading to an increase in business.
Our Hospitality Console helps the front of house team with faster processing of key activities such as guest check-in and room status, leading to improvements in guest satisfaction and cost reduction.
We then integrated that with the Hotel’s PMS software, Guestline which supports their operations with managing bookings, payments and streamlining the hotels organisation of events, so by integrating our VoIP Phones into that platform. We installed in fact 8 VoIP phones at designated communication points, with 10 Wi-Fi handsets for night porters meaning communications are flexible not only within the hotel, but because they have the ability to use the UCS mobile app with our VoIP phones, they can now collaborate with their sister hotel.
The ability to pull off simple reports has really helped the Management team to get a much clearer overall picture of how the business is doing and see where improvements can be made” Ian General manager

Beyond Copilots: Why AI Agents Are the Next Competitive Advantage
AI is no longer a tactical tool, it’s becoming the engine of enterprise transformation. While copilots and other generative AI tools have helped teams work faster, the real breakthrough is happening with AI agents: autonomous systems that don’t just assist but act, learn and orchestrate entire workflows across the business. The question every executive should be asking is: “How will we harness AI to create value at scale before our competitors do?” High-performing organisations aren’t waiting. They’re embedding AI agents into daily operations and seeing measurable impact; accelerated decision-making, leaner processes and stronger financial outcomes. When markets move at digital speed, standing still means falling behind. Here’s why: So, the question isn’t “Should we adopt AI?”, it’s “What could…
Zero Trust Networking
Protecting Employees Without Friction Your workforce is your greatest asset, and your greatest vulnerability. Attackers know this, which is why phishing and credential theft remain the most common entry points. But here’s the leadership challenge: how do you protect employees without slowing them down? Zero Trust answers that question by making security invisible yet uncompromising. Employees work from anywhere, home, client sites, airports, without clunky VPNs or endless password resets. Behind the scenes, every login is verified, every device assessed, every anomaly flagged. If something looks wrong, a compromised credential, an unusual location, the system reacts…
Shadow AI: Executive Briefing on Real Risks, Business Impact and Mitigation
Shadow AI is here, and it’s growing Shadow AI is the use of artificial intelligence tools and platforms outside the oversight of IT, security, or compliance teams. This is not a hypothetical concern. KPMG’s 2025 global survey found that up to 58% of employees are using AI productivity tools daily, and nearly half admit to uploading sensitive company information to unauthorised platforms. Only 41% of employees say their organisation has a policy guiding the use of generative AI, revealing a significant governance gap. The Risks Are Real and Substantial The evidence from leading analysts and recent incidents is clear:…

Is Your MSP Really Helping You Grow — Or Just Keeping the Lights On?
There’s a moment in every business where the question quietly surfaces: “Are we getting what we really need from our IT provider?” It’s not always easy to answer. On the surface, things seem fine. Tickets are resolved. Reports arrive. There’s someone to call when things go wrong. It’s familiar. It’s comfortable. And that comfort can be deceiving. Because beneath the surface, many organisations are stuck in a service relationship that feels safe — but is actually stagnant. And here’s the truth: comfort isn’t the same as progress. For many, the idea of changing MSPs or challenging the…
