Broadened PBX support helps large-scale integrated resorts with multiple hotels, or other similar businesses, manage high-end telecommunications service billing and integration with 3rd party management systems, using either on-site or hosted solutions.
ATLANTA - January, 2013 - FCS Computer Systems (FCS), a leading comprehensive hospitality solutions and services provider, today announced that its FCS Unicorn, a Universal Interface and Billing system, is compliant with key communications solutions from Avaya, a global provider of business collaboration and communication solutions.
FCS Unicorn provides both onsite and hosted high-end billing systems for large-scale hotels, integrated resorts or multi-property operations. FCS Unicorn's ability to interface with many different property management systems and other hotel applications simplifies billing and system integration for complex hospitality implementations.
The application is now compliance-tested by Avaya for compatibility with: Avaya Communication Server 1000 (Avaya CS 1000) 7.5, in addition to previously announced compliance with Avaya Aura® Communication Manager 6.2.
