Novosco secures seven-figure cloud contract with 3,500-room hotel group

A 3,500-room hotel group has chosen managed cloud provider Novosco to upgrade and managed its entire IT infrastructure.

The seven-figure deal will see Novosco work in partnership with Village Hotel Club, which has 28 hotels, to manage its migration to the cloud.

Founded in 1995, Village Hotel Group employs over 4,000 people and has a presence in London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and other major cities across England, Scotland and Wales.

It is one of the major hotel groups in the UK, and has been continuing to expand its presence, with plans in place for a new 153-bedroom hotel at Lakeside Business Park in Portsmouth.

Novosco is a managed cloud provider with clients in the public, private and voluntary sectors across the UK and Ireland, including Premiership football teams, some of the UK's largest health trusts and many top companies.

Novosco employs almost 150 people and has offices in Belfast, Manchester, Dublin and Cork. Last year it acquired English specialist IT security solutions and managed services expert NetDef.

Commenting on the deal, Dan Morley, Head of IT Infrastructure and Service Delivery at Village Hotel Club said: "We are constantly seeking ways to innovate and to provide the best level of service to our customers and employees. Partnering with Novosco to manage our infrastructure services will enable us to do that. With Novosco providing managed infrastructure we will be able to select the services we need, when we need them, and grow our business efficiently."

Novosco Managing Director, Patrick McAliskey, said: "Village Hotel Club is a highly dynamic and growing company, and we are delighted to work with them to add value to their business and help facilitate their on-going expansion. As a result of the investment being made, we will be able to scale the company's IT infrastructure as it continues to grow."
