rixos hotel switches to 3CXLONDON, UK, 29 SEPTEMBER 20173CX, developer of the next-generation software-based Unified Communications system, is pleased to announce that The Rixos Almaty Hotel in Kazakhstan has carried out the successful deployment of its VoIP PBX solution with 3CX reseller, ICG. The hotel chain was founded in 2000 and, now headquartered in Dubai, Rixos Hotels has gone on to operate 27 hotels across Europe and the Middle East and employs around 10,000 people.

The Kazakhstan hotel was looking to modernize their communications and, more specifically, simplify their phone system infrastructure. Feeling that their previous PBX was expensive and cumbersome to maintain, Network Telecommunications Manager Vassily Sonn was seeking a software solution that could cut down on cabling and reduce overall costs. After considering various solutions including Cisco Callmanager and Avaya's USC phone system, Sonn opted for 3CX for it's ease of installation, flexibility and advanced PMS integration.

“3CX Phone System is a great product. It features flexible deployment and integration, high availability and continuous software improvement. Packed with the latest technology, this is a system that has changed our approach to voice communications.” – Vassily Sonn, Network Telecommunications Manager

The hotel was pleased to find that time needed for deployment was minimal, resulting in no down-time, which was a crucial for the hotel to continue with its operations and high level of customer service. Deployed by 3CX partner ICG, the installation resulted in better productivity and mobility for staff members, easier PMS integration and a reduction of time spent on maintenance and admin tasks.
