Press Release: Core Communications
July 17, 2001
IRVING, TX -- Omni Hotels announced it has selected Virginia-based Core Communications as the exclusive provider
of data communications management and Internet access solutions in the meeting rooms, exhibit space and hospitality
suites for its properties located throughout North America.
Omni Hotels and Core worked together to design an integrated technology application that directly addresses the
data communications needs of its group meetings clientele. The result is an end-to-end technology solution, providing
meetings and exhibit guests with the industry's highest level of sales, support and service.
``Omni Hotels' new network solution enables guests to experience better, faster and more secure Internet connections
for virtual private network (VPN) access, on-line product demonstrations, and Internet-based training classes,''
said Paul Dietzler, vice president information technology and finance. ``These new and improved capabilities will
bring our overall meeting and guest experience to new heights.''
Omni Hotels' primary goal in the project is to provide its guests with a consistent quality of service and support
in the group meetings environment across its entire portfolio of properties. Core Communications will meet that
need through its centralized network control center and its national service and engineering personnel located
in major cities and meeting centers in the U.S. and Canada.
Core Communication's technology platform leverages centralized management, control and billing software, coupled
with localized service to deliver a reliable, cost effective communications solution for Omni Hotels group meetings
and events. Core Communications will employ a full service T1 circuit feeding a managed broadband network throughout
Omni Hotel's function and exhibit space.
``From its inception, Core's charter has been to help our clients succeed in providing the finest group meeting
experience possible,'' said David Giannini, Core's founder and chief executive. ``Core achieves this goal through
battle-tested technologies, networking expertise and proactive sales and service delivery, resulting in a customer-driven,
integrated technology and service approach.''
