Introduction
The following case study examines the successful deployment of an Avaya IP Office by Touch Blue, at the Jason Kenny Leisure Centre in Bolton. This case study highlights the challenges faced by the leisure centre’s outdated PBX system and how Touch Blue’s expertise and the Avaya IP Office brought about significant improvements in communication and operational efficiency.
Background
The Jason Kenny Leisure Centre, located in Bolton, has been a popular recreational facility for many years. However, the centre’s communication infrastructure heavily relied on an outdated legacy PBX system. The system suffered from frequent downtime, limited functionality, and the inability to scale to meet the evolving needs of the centre’s staff and visitors.

Solution
Touch Blue proposed the implementation of the Avaya IP Office solution to address the Jason Kenny Leisure Centre’s communication challenges.
