A UK hospitality management company partnered with Advania to modernise its security model across a large estate of hotels. With seasonal staffing fluctuations and multiple locations to manage, the organisation needed a more flexible and cost-effective approach to endpoint security.
🔎At a glance
- UK hospitality management company
- Oversees more than 70 hotels across the UK
- Diverse property portfolio including luxury resorts and city-centre hotels
🚨The challenge
The organisation’s seasonal workforce meant user numbers fluctuated significantly throughout the year, making security licensing difficult to manage.
Their existing antivirus contracts lacked flexibility and visibility, resulting in:
- Overpayment for unused licences
- Limited visibility of licence usage across sites
- Difficult deployment across multiple hotel locations
💡The approach
Advania worked with the organisation to explore flexible security-as-a-service licensing models.
The engagement included:
- Implementation of a Bitdefender security solution
- Creation of a centralised management portal for up to 500 users
- Visibility of licence usage across all hotels
- Training internal teams to self-manage licensing and deployment
☑️The outcome
- Greater visibility of endpoint security usage
- Easier management of licence deployment across sites
- A flexible licensing model aligned with seasonal workforce changes
- Reduced cost by paying only for licences in use
⚡️Why this matters
Hospitality organisations often face fluctuating staffing levels that make traditional software licensing inefficient. Flexible security platforms enable businesses to scale protection dynamically while improving cost control and operational visibility.
