The development of IP applications and their use in technology is all evident and far-reaching, playing a vital contribution to the ways that businesses are efficiently managed.

Adaptation of IP is critical for the Hospitality sector. Indeed, such are the advances in technology for this sector, there are very few business functions and processes that can do without efficiency and productivity gains from technology.

The hospitality sector is a key area of focus for Europacom and one where we can legitimately claim to be experts in managing dispersed estates with both large and smaller customers. Pubs, Clubs, hotels and restaurants are all able to benefit from next-generation network technology, and the flexibility of our products to enhance profitability and competitiveness.

Historically in most hospitality outlets, there are probably legacy systems that can easily be consolidated and rationalised and the introduction of Wi-Fi provides new benefits. Examples of this are as follows:

Rationalisation of the current number of installed lines:

• Traditional dedicated lines for each payment terminal can be reduced to one broadband line over which multiple terminals can simultaneously operate

• Multiple voice lines can be consolidated to run several extensions over a single broadband service using BroadlySpeaking

Broadband enhances productivity increasing revenues and saving costs:

• IP enabled payment terminals make for secure and faster transactions reducing customer queues

• New services such as IP Jukeboxes and gaming machines can be introduced

• BroadlySpeaking hosted IP service means to PBX to manage and maintain

• Improved EPOS management and reporting in real time

Wi-Fi enablement provides a host of benefits including:

• Attracting new customers on site, even extending opening hours by creating a day time work environment

• Reduction of cabling costs with services provided over Wi-Fi

• Greater customer satisfaction and service speeds with Wi-Fi enabled payment terminals

• Deferring third party introduction of lines and broadband for value added services such that they could operate at a fraction of cost of your existing service
