Mar 21, 2007 : CHIP Selects Rogers And Fusepoint
📅 - Hotel and resort management company CHIP Hospitality (chiphospitality.com) announced on Tuesday that it has selected Rogers Business Solutions (rogers.com -> easyonnet.com) and Fusepoint Managed Services (fusepoint.com -> hostpapa.com) to fully manage all IT infrastructure and applications related to CHIP Hospitality's centralized network system.
CHIP Hospitality is the exclusive management company that employs approximately 5,000 hotel staff who service more than 7,000 rooms and almost 50 food and beverage operations. Operating with a relatively small IT staff and always mindful of securities regulations and corporate compliance legislation like Ontario's Bill 198 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the United States, the company decided to identify and outsource its critical IT operations to a managed services provider.
"Looking down the road, we saw an opportunity to effectively parcel out IT activity to a provider who could offer professional services and scale on demand," says Peter Smolik, CISSP director of IT for CHIP Hospitality. "When it came time to select a managed services provider, key requirements of performance reliability, knowledge of compliance issues, and managed services capabilities all tipped in Fusepoint's favour."
Fusepoint and Rogers will deliver a fully managed hosting environment, ensuring the security and availability of CHIP Hospitality's centralized network while conserving revenue-driving applications, including CHIP's accounting systems for all hotel and resort properties, Microsoft Exchange and communications systems and hospitality-specific sales and catering systems.
