The Real Hotel Company Adopts Converged Network to Streamline Core Business Processes

Leading UK and European hotel operator The Real Hotel Company plc has migrated its converged, multi-application network spanning 42 UK locations to improve service, reduce costs and increase control over its network.

The hotel operator, which recently launched the new low cost purplehotel brand, also operates hotels under the Comfort Inns, Quality and Clarion hotels brands.

In a project developed and implemented by virtual network operator TFM Networks, The Real Hotel Company chose to deploy a converged network as it delivers enhanced control, greater flexibility and more effective network monitoring across all of its UK locations, whilst simultaneously reducing operating costs. TFM Networks was able to offer seamless migration from the previous network provider at no added cost.

A key benefit of the converged network model is that The Real Hotel Company now has a network that will deliver reliable connectivity to its new data centre via TFM Networks’ existing high-bandwidth backbone. This will enable The Real Hotel Company to carry out its IT replacement programme, migrating individual hotel IT networks to a single converged network over which all business functions will operate. The flexible contract with TFM Networks simplifies network services and delivers advanced monitoring that enable effective management and timely support.

Sam Rubra, Director of IT at The Real Hotel Company said: “The managed service and network monitoring provided by TFM Networks means that we are alerted to potential issues before they impact business services. Maintenance and break/fix activities can be carried out at an early stage, ensuring that key business processes run smoothly at all times.

“TFM Networks has a great deal of experience within the hotel sector, which was important to us when choosing a network operator and we now have great confidence that our network is being effectively managed. The network is cost effective and we get the reassurance of continued support through a single point of contact. TFM is a network company that listens to your needs and supplies a service to fit.”
