In 2019, NewHotel Software chose DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting to install, configure and operate two IP PBX phone systems (one on-premises and the other in the Microsoft Azure cloud) connecting its offices in Lisbon, Braga, Faro and Funchal. The result is a hybrid, redundant voice network under ongoing management, designed for distributed teams.

Project summary

  • Client NewHotel Software.
  • Sector Hospitality (hotel management software).
  • Year 2019.
  • Scope Structured cabling, enterprise wireless network, firewall and security, servers, IT Unlimited support and VoIP communications.
  • Sites 4 cities: Lisbon, Braga, Faro and Funchal.

Who NewHotel Software is

Founded in 1984, NewHotel develops integrated hotel management software and has more than 3500 hotels installed in 64 countries, with clients in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, Asia-Pacific and the Atlantic. In a sector where operations never stop, communication between teams is critical.

Why a hybrid architecture

DataRoad proposed two complementary layers rather than a single phone system:

  • On-premises IP PBX: minimal latency, direct control of the infrastructure and high operational reliability.
  • IP PBX in Microsoft Azure: high availability, instant scalability and geographical redundancy, suited to remote teams and international operations.

Together, the two systems give NewHotel a resilience and flexibility that neither would provide alone.

What DataRoad delivered

  1. Installation: of the two IP PBX systems.
  2. Integration: configuration and set-up with the existing infrastructure.
  3. Call handling plan: extensions, call queues and IVR.
  4. Carriers: connection and management of SIP trunks and VoIP providers.
  5. Unified configuration: the four offices working as one.
  6. Ongoing operation: maintenance, monitoring and continuous management of the solution.

What NewHotel gained

  • Better communication Internal and external, between the mainland and the islands.
  • Lower operating costs With VoIP traffic and centralised management.
  • Flexibility For geographically dispersed teams.
  • Continuity If one layer fails, the other keeps voice running.
