Case Study 2 - New Luxury Hotel

SITUATION

The owners of a new construction luxury boutique hotel in Michigan wanted to ensure that once they opened their doors then all individual guests and all corporate conference facility guests would have a flawless experience.

All of the various hotel business systems had to work together and remain secure.  Hotel managers needed to be able to securely access the business systems from anywhere.

Guests were required to have both wired and wireless high speed internet access throughout.  The infrastructure also had to be able to accommodate large numbers of additional individuals all being online whilst attending corporate functions in the conference facilities, with security and privacy.

Security staff needed wireless access to cameras and the cordless Voice over IP phones in guest suites had to be able to roam around the hotel.

SOLUTION

BlueRock architected the hotel network with security at the core.  Hardware and software was all standardized - from servers and switches through to desktops and laptops - and procured to facilitate smooth operation and easy maintenance.

Wired and wireless security measures were designed, implemented and are centrally managed.  Hotel business systems are integrated and available only to those staff that require access.

During the building of the hotel and the installation of many other systems from various vendors

specific to the hospitality industry, BlueRock acted as the IT General Contractor and ensured that all parties were clearly communicated with and the systems configured to work in an integrated fashion.

BlueRock continues to administrate, maintain and support the IT systems at the Client property, and also provides Help Desk services to both the business staff and the guests.

BlueRock also provides regular strategic input at the request of the hotel management to assist in both executing upon the existing business plan and implementing future enhancements.
