One of Queensland's leading conference and leisure resorts, Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove on South East Queensland's Gold Coast has upgraded from an aging NEC PABX with a brand new Avaya IP Telephony system incorporating aspects of the existing solution.

The administration and guest telephony system were both enhanced by Avaya solution provider NSC Enterprise Solutions with and Avaya 8500 media server and G650 gateways.

The hotel and its sister organisation, Sanctuary Cove Resort, were sharing the NEC equipment prior to the upgrade which saw the existing equipment partitioned and expanded. The Avaya solution provided by NSC included the design, supply, implementation, maintenance, management and support of both software and hardware technologies.

According to Benjamin Day, Information Systems Manager for Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove, the hotel is able to run as a separate tenant partitioned on the existing solution.  "Leveraging the original investment and expanding the existing infrastructure, provided us with the opportunity to implement a cost-effective solution," said Day. "The nature of the deployment made it risk-free and fast, with the staff requiring only minimal training."

The new solution has deployed an advanced voicemail system to provide hospitality functionality for guests as well as voicemail access for administrative staff. All 247 guest rooms received new analogue handsets which provide guests with clearly labelled icons and pre-programmed dialling to enhance the guest experience.

The system promises guests a central way to access "Guest Services" which can assist them with any request they may have from fresh towels to booking a round of golf at the resort. An automated attendant system ensures guests always receive an answer rather than ringing out if an operator is busy with other calls.

"NSC has considerable expertise implementing similar solutions within the hospitality sector working with organisations such as Intercontinental Hotel Group, Burswood Entertainment Complex, Seaworld Nara Resort, Holiday Inn and others," said Craig Neil, Managing Director, NSC Enterprise Solutions. "We are pleased to welcome the prestigious Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove to our customer family."
