Château de Bonmont

Château de Bonmont is a stately home with its own golf club located in the heart of an enchanting green setting directly on the banks of Lake Geneva. There are six buildings on the premises, including a hotel with eight suites and a restaurant, three tennis courts, a gym and several swimming pools, plus stables housing 25 horses. There is also an 18-hole golf course (over 6,737 yards with a par of 71) and even a monastery. Some 50 employees cater to the daily needs of the hotel guests and club members.

The demands of the golf club on the communications system have grown considerably in recent years. Not only had the old telephone system aged, but it was no longer able to provide complete communications coverage. The management had clear expectations: “People should be able to contact us – any time they want. It’s not just that our grounds are so big,” says Philippe von Escher, General Manager of the club, “but we also have two reception desks and 50 employees working in six buildings, as well as the rest of the premises. Being able to take and make phone calls at any time is essential for many of these staff members – and that means anywhere on our grounds. What’s more, the handsets need to be simple to use and have simple programming.”
The management’s key requirements were those of optimal availability by using mobile terminals and straightforward handling of the system. Used in conjunction with the OpenAttendant application, Aastra’s OpenCom® 1000 system resulted in an ideal solution for the customer. Not only does the DECT solution greatly simplify work for staff, but the new OpenCom® 1000 system Aastra has provided also features an Auto Attendant that filters calls using automated push-button dialing, thereby putting clients through to the person to whom they wish to speak in a more efficient way.
