Hospitality telecom: a major cost for businesses in this industry - we maximize the ROI.

Hotels, restaurants, resorts, and event venues often run on telecom infrastructure that's a decade old. Legacy PBX hardware, expensive PRI circuits, and per-property phone systems that don't talk to each other. Migrating to modern cloud VoIP usually generates the largest savings we see in any industry.

The pattern we see

The Legacy PBX Problem In Hospitality

Hospitality is one of the few industries where on-premises PBX hardware is still common. The phones at the front desk, in guest rooms, and back-of-house often run on systems installed years ago, supported by expensive PRI circuits and maintenance contracts. The economics rarely make sense anymore. Cloud VoIP platforms can often exceed the functionality of a legacy PBX at significantly lower cost - especially when you're operating multiple properties.

On-prem PBX at every property

Avaya, Mitel, or Cisco hardware sitting in a closet at each property. Annual maintenance contracts, aging parts, and a vendor relationship that gets more expensive every year.

Per-property systems that don't talk to each other

Each hotel runs its own phone system in isolation. Front-desk and back-office can't transfer between properties, and corporate has no central administration. Adding a phone at a new property requires a service call to a PBX vendor - instead of a few clicks in a single admin console.

They were running legacy on-prem PBX hardware at each of their 4 properties with expensive PRI circuits. We migrated all locations to a single cloud VoIP platform, eliminated the PRI lines, and unified guest-facing and back-office calling under one provider.

Yes - and usually better. Modern cloud VoIP supports all the standard hotel phone features (room-to-room calling, wake-up calls, do-not-disturb, message-on-hold) and adds capabilities like SMS-based guest communications and integration with property management systems. A boutique hotel group we worked with operated 4 properties, each running its own legacy on-prem PBX with expensive PRI circuits. We migrated all locations to a single cloud VoIP platform on Ooma, eliminated the PRI lines, and unified guest-facing and back-office calling under one provider - sequenced property-by-property to keep guest service running. Annual savings: $35,284, a 50% reduction.
